Assessing Liverpool's Striker Targets: Eto’o, Bony, Cavani, Falcao and Balotelli

Assessing Liverpool's Striker Targets: Eto’o, Bony, Cavani, Falcao and Balotelli

It’s been almost a month since Luis Suarez signed for Barcelona and it seems every week that passed a new striker target is revealed.

We've been here before. But it looks like this time the move is for real, and for Liverpool, that makes perfect sense. Remy is an ideal winger/second striker type, fast enough to beat a defender …
Why Bony and not Benzema?

Why Bony and not Benzema?

In the last few weeks I’ve sensed a real feeling of discontent regarding the calibre of players Liverpool have been linked to, Premiership names such as Wilfried Bony, Loic Remy and not with players like Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain. I've seen a lot of people say things like "The players we have signed now are players we could have easily gotten without CL". First off, I don't think that is true and here’s why: Emre Can would have likely …
