LFC have been screwed over by clubs (mainly Italian) regarding options to buy - Aquillani - Juve had an option to buy for £13mln, then Milan had an option to buy if he played a certain number of games (so they made sure he didn't) and in the end he went to Fiorentina basically on a free.
If LFC wanted £6mln for Aspas why not settle for £4mln on the basis that it's money in the bank now and you don't have to deal with a potential headache next season. Also it's his wages off the books.
Don't know whether it was even discussed but surely if are interested in Moreno we should have offered a figure + Aspas, that would have got a new left back, reduced the cash we have to pay now and get rid of Aspas. Althought who is to say we didnt try that.
I would be really surprised if Ayre is in Seville discussing a loan move for a fringe player rather than a move for Moreno.
