For a change (even though it would be wishful thinking) lets try signing a player coveted by other clubs..
Would rather spend that money on Lacazette who is more versatile across the front-3 than Higuain
What an absurd notion - that we should only go for players who have their prices pushed up by competition - that a player is only worth getting if another big club wants them too.
This more sounds like wanting to get one over another club than wanting the best player. Remember that all our most successful recent transfers (Coutinho, Suarez, Sturridge) had no-one else in for them, and that many of our summer signings required us to fend off competition.
A final point, not directed at Vicks at all (as I have never observed the poster make such comments), its rather irritating to hear our fans say crap like "we should have gone for proven players", but also turn up their noses at actual proven players in favour of players who have far less history of quality. For example Lacazette over Higuain. (NB: I'm not saying I have a crystal ball and know which would be the better player for Liverpool - just annoyed at the hypocrisy)
