Our issue is that identifying a player who may be a top star is one thing.  Signing them without any opposition to push the price up is another. 

 

Looking at the big ticket players we've bought over the last few years who have we had any serious rivalry for?

 

Lovren

Mane

Markovic 

Gini 

Firmino

Benteke

Lallana

Sakho

 

I don't recall any rival bids for any of these players.  Could it be our club doesn't like getting into a "bidding war" so will rule out players who may fall into that category? If so it's ironic because we routinely pay over the odds

We only have bidding wars with ourselves.

I've just read a story that Sergio Aguero has been a Liverpool fan for years and has dreamed of playing for them for years. If that's not a come and get me plea, I'm a doctor of rocket science.

I heard that him and Robbie Keane we bezzie mates growing up and looked up to him so much he only supports who Keane does.

I reckon they think there's little value to be had in a bidding war.
