A fit Sturridge with Benteke up front with Firmino, Coutinho and Lallana playing behind them with Milner and Hendo behind them - would surely create and score hat fulls of goals?? .

Competition for places up front is healthy
Erm............ if we take proven quality as an out and out striker out of the equation you could say that I'm struggling to see why you think the " competition for places up front is healthy"
I'll concede there's a lot of talented attack minded players who'll be competing for a starting spot BUT sick note mark 2 Sturridge aside, how many of them could be classed as proven premiership level 15-20 goal a season strikers ?
I wouldn't term that healthy
Nevertheless, I'm sure you'll enlighten us .

Thats healthy competition between the guys to get the spots.

Adding as yet unsigned strikers into the mix does indeed support you're opinion that we have healthy competition up front, :D .
Assuming, and it does look odds on that Benteke will join us, in terms of proven premiership quality in all honesty I still don't see the "healthy competition" that you claim we have.
Sturridge we already agree fitness wise can't be relied on, Ings has done ok but not tested at a top club and Origi has imo dropped off the radar and has much to prove.
Healthy competition ?
