Yes, Brendan and FSG all think alike when it comes to transfer ie wary of splashing out too much on a single player, looking for youngsters with potential that can be molded to suit Brendan's philosophy, only try to sign the star names if they are available on the cheap like when they're available for less than 15 million (impossible) etc.
We are in dire need of signing another good striker to compliment or to fill in Danny's boots when he is out with his persistent hamstring injuries. I want Brendan to sign Bony to fit in that role and received loads of disagreements. Let me make this clear, I am no big fan of Bony meself. I would love to see Brendan signing Cavani, Falcao, Benzema, Sanchez(who went to Arsenal) etc. But the problem is, those guys either are not interested because we're now a 3rd tier club in the CL and we're no longer the football superpower like we used to decades ago AND even if those guys want to come, they would come at a high price and knowing Brendan and FSG, they are not willing to pay 'over the odds' like more than 40M for those kind of world class quality player. So signing the Cavanis, Falcaos is out of the question for us.
I mentioned Bony not because I will be excited to see him here, but he is the best bet that suits into Brendan and FSG's transfer policy ie young and not too expensive and though Bony is no Benzema or Cavani, I believe he is capable of scoring 20 goals a season for us plus he wants to come to Liverpool.
So with money to spend after the LS sale and our transfer policy is not to sign quality, expensive players, then all I can hope for is for the young players they've signed to turn out good in a few seasons like Markovic, Manquillo, Origi(at Lillie) etc. So the wait for the PL title will go on.....
