I suppose it's a fine line in getting the right player who is of the right age and character etc..but it's not impossible and we have proved that with Coutinho and Sturridge.
There's no denying that both have been excellent signings mate and it proves that there are players out there for reasonable fees that can and will improve our starting 11.
The problem when buying potential rather than quality is the hit ratio is much lower, so it'll take longer, leaving us open to the better players moving on, and we'll go through a much higher turnover of players trying to find those gems.
Doing it our way, getting more quality into the squad is an ever evolving target, like trying to fill a leaky bucket with water.
