Why? Because when other teams are travelling to other hot spots in the Champions League, our players will be spending their weeks training and hanging out in Liverpool. And as great a city as Liverpool is, if nothing else, Madrid is a lot nicer in January. And so is Rome, Istanbul and many others.
But, if we are going to ask high quality players to sacrifice a season, maybe two, not playing in the Champions League, we will have to compensate them for the sacrifice and compensate them well.
So where do we get the money?
Sell Luis Saurez. Sell him high and outside of England. Liverpool is clearly no longer going to get its money's worth from him. He doesn't want to stay, and he keeps (stupidly) getting suspended. This is a recipe for disaster. He will become the next Torres, and Liverpool cannot afford to have that situation arise.
What can we do with forty million? 3.25 Daniel Sturridges, a Micah Richards, Wanyama, an Anelka as a spare, the possibilities are endless.
We need a striker, and a centre back, like a Robert Huth, or Vermalaen type player. We also need to find an attacking midfield play maker. We have three years before Stevie G packs it in and we need to search and invest now.
We need that new anchor, or anchors to move the team forward. We need the next Stevie G, Carra, or Torres. And we need to pay it forward. If they can't get Champion's League football, then the only thing the Club can give them is $$.
And real money, will only come from Luis Saurez.
