If I were a Liverpool fan Im not too sure what id be thinking ....................from Suarez to Ings in a couple of seasons.
It's got all the hallmarks of a Moneyball signing which, given FSG were amongst the first to embrace Moneyball in the US, and the various reports from soon after they took over that they felt Moneyball could be adapted to 'soccer', it's not a surprise.
Being a Liverpool fan, if the plan from here on in this summer is to sign a top class, proven striker, whilst shipping out Bellend-telli, Borini & Lambert, then we'll have hugely improved our forward line (Sturridge, Origi, Ings, other).
But, knowing the Liverpool hierarchy, we may well think "Sturridge, Ings, & Origi... yeah, that's what we'll run with." In which case, we'll be battling Sperms for 5th again.
The hottest rumour for us is that we're well into the process of signing Kovacic. That'd be a coup!
