I would have waited to have signed a top top forward before selling Suarez. There are only two or three players at his level. I wouldn't be able to replace his quality but I'd get the next best thing available. Throw money at Madrid for Isco or Di Maria, offer Sanchez wages he couldn't refuse, go all out for Marco Reus. I'm talking top top players here.
As for defenders, I only believe in spending silly amounts if they are well established (I.e thiago Silva, Varane) not one season wonders like Lovren.
Lallana is too lightweight. Made it obvious I was never a fan of his. A fine player for a club that builds their team around that one player, but not good enough for us.
Moreno and Can I would have gone ahead with. These both seem like fine players who will come good one day.
In January we need to spend more, but I'm not sure I trust Brendan with the cash. We are over emphasising on purchasing young players. Let the academy take care of that
