Other clubs 'make' their target available mate. LFC never went around trying to sell Suarez but Barca or R.Madrid prepared themselves ready for player to choose them once player want to leave. Bale, Ronaldo, Costa, Kroos were the similar example, and Reus now linked with move to R.madrid -why not Liverpool ?
Us, players available out there to take - Sanchez, Di Maria, Cesc, Remy etc we still fail to pick one, let alone try to make one 'available'.
We should of definitely planned to fill a Suarez shaped hole in the team with at least one known super talent, thing is; I don't think there are/were as many options available in the whole world right now.
Some of these players may have just wanted to live in London or Madrid and Remy.. I think maybe he failed a drug test because of how it was so secretive, that was my first thought, not sure why.
It's tricky, Falcao wanted ridiculous money and that wasn't an option. Maybe a team with real title aspirations to not regress after nearly winning the league would have at least paid him on a yearly basis.
Even if we did amazing last year, maybe the name Liverpool fc doesn't quite have the allure it once had at this point in time. to these big names.
Also if we never had the injury pile up we had maybe we'd be here talking about us being higher in the table and some new players looking better and better as they become more accustomed to the managers tactics and league.
the two wing backs look to be inspired choices, better than big name Shaw.
Balo looked to be a opportunity not to miss.
Can may become a beast etc
It's too early for me to write off our new signings as lesser than more touted or hyped names.
Suarez was never replaceable, Falcao was probably the only goal machine with some similar skills. It was always going to be a case of us not playing the same game plan without Suarez here.
I'm not playing devils advocate defending the owners here, I thought we spent well. The deciding factor will be how many goals Mario ends up getting this season.
Sturridge getting injured really has harmed our win rate too.
