I think Liverpool are in a very difficult position.
The only reason they did so well last year was becuase of Suarez. Sell him even for £70-80 million, may still constitute a step back for them.
This is exactly why Barcelona want to BUY him. Top teams should look to keep hold of their top players not sell them.
I doubt Liverpool need the cash injection from Barca to buy, so they dont need to sell and they shouldnt if they still dream of winning the title next year.
One reason was Suarez but Sturridge, Henderson, Sterling, Gerrard and Coutinho all played a massive part. Take off Suarez's goals and off the top of my head we would have scored 1 less than Chelsea. Yes he had assists etc but you assume with the 80mil they will get for him then you can replace him and add more to the depth of the team.
Well yes however with his sale and the inevitable signing of Lovren and Bertrand you'd expect that figure to drop.You also conceeded twice as many as Chelsea, so without his goals your points would go down a lot more rapidly
So if you believe twitter we have sighed lazer markovic 25m euros
Im suprised why Barca would want to sell Sanchez anyway. According to Wiki he got: 19 goals 10 assists in 34 league games last season.
He's record for Barca is a goal every 2 games. (ish - 88 played 39 goals)

Sanchez ould be a better signing than Balotelli I reckon. Although I was happy for Arsenal to be linked, I was worried by his bad boy reputation. He would unbalance the team by being the biggest ego at the club. And get him self sent off far to offten.
Unless Chelsea offer him silly money it seems that way. Looks a decent player.
Can't say I've watched a huge amount of Markovic but for what I've read and heard it appears as if the general opinion is that £20-25m is a bit of a bargain. Hopefully that proves to be the case.
The Origi deal looks like being tied up in the coming days too. We just need a CB, a LB or 2, a first team ready striker and maybe another winger/forward and we are sorted :/
No doubt regreting it already!
Thinking to himself, 'what have I done. We're not even in the Champions League!'
Just wait untill summers over Herrera!

you appear to be the most insecure gooner i've ever seen

Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Emre Can.
40million on this lot?
I guess they do need to sell Suarez after all, after spending all this on those three.
Brendan Rodgers the new David Moyes? Yes please!! He'll be sacked at this rate!
