Why not another Mane and a dedicated #9? Why is it always one or the other?
We have the money to spend, it should be addressed.
I am sure we have enough, but even if we sell Sturridge, do we need to buy another striker? We already have Ings, Firmino and Origi... players I feel are good enough for #9, especially if we can keep a #11(Mane or new wide player) and #10(Coutinho or Lallana) fit throughout the season.
And even if you don't think Firmino, Origi and Ings are good enough, do you want to see them pushed out wide? Do you think Klopp will sell Firmino and Origi who is 21y and shown a lot of potential? How about Ings , I'm not sure he will sell Ings?
Look at the attacking players each team have, and notice we are the only squad to have 4 #9's.
