Brendan Rodgers’s side sit joint second in the premier league and are currently 5 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Gunners will be facing Manchester United at Old Trafford next and Reds have Fulham so there might be a chance to close the gap.
Liverpool have started the season well but normally they have a habit of performing brilliantly in one half of the season. Which inevitably ruins their season.
For them to qualify for the Champions league after 4 years wait, consistency plus top quality signings are required and perhaps Reds have started acting already.
According to Tutto Mercato, Liverpool are ready to seal deal for £14m winger, Juan Iturbe as early as this month. However, he will be ready to play for Reds from next June.
Iturbe is owned by Portuguese side Porto but currently plays for Italian side Hellas Verona on loan. The 20 year old Argentine is versatile and can play at both flanks.
In eight Serie A starts this season, Juan Iturbe has netted 3 goals and also provided 2 assists.
The main question, are Liverpool spending way too heavily on an unproven talent when they can buy proven quality for the mentioned sum. Also, what is the point if he cannot play any part in this year’s campaign.
It seems that 12m spent on Aspas were wasted as well and now Reds should spend sensibly. We shall see how the transfer unfolds.

As a liverpool fan, I think signing FC Basel’s Mohammed Salah for £15m would be far better than spending £14m for a player of Iturbe’s type.
The owners need to give B Rodgers : 60-70M to bring in 5 midfielders and a class quality GK to compete with Mignolet for the next 5-7 years at club:
2 Creative Centre Midfielders:
1: Koke(21) Of A Madrid for 15-20M
2: Cabaye(27) Of Newcastle for 10-15M
1 Mobile quick Stong tough tackling DM:
3: Fernando(26) Of Porto Or M’Vila(23) Of Rubin Kazan for 10-14M
2 class creative Goalscoring Wingers on either wing:
4: RW / RWF: M Salah(21) Of Basle for 10-15M
5: LW / LWF: B Arfa(26) Of Newcastle for 10-14M
1 class good Gk to compete with Mignolet:
6: A Mccarthy(23) Of Reading for 5-7M , Plus some loan players: Ibe and Kelly to sweeten the deal
I agree with you. We should learn to buy tested professionals that will add value to the club. Mohammed Salah is more of a proven quality than Iturbe.
Hello prince,am a Liverpool fan from Tanzania.It’s true Mohammed Salah is a proven skill full player who can play on every flangs.We don need to loose a lot of money to inexperience player like iturbe…
£12m on Aspas, was actually £7m, why tell lies to enhance your article.
Johnny star it was 12 mil for aspas it was 7 mil for Luis Alberto buddy so there not wrong it is a Liverpool website so they should know on what they spent m8
It was around 7-8m for Aspas. Check the various websites. I linked one just for you. Find the rest yourself.

bring t on iturbe i hope wil do beta than maxi rodriguez
If not ayew,el shawarary then def-mid would be great.
We should get alexandru maxim
May be iturbe is good and we can’t question Brandan since he knows the type of players he wants, coutinho was not a proven and all of us were complaining when he was going for him and now everybody is a fan of coutinho. So, lets give Brandan chance to do his job may be there’s something special in him non of us has been able to identify. In Brandan we trust. YNWA
we need d likes of Nemanja Matic,Koke,Pastore nd Salah
I trust Brendan and believe what ever he does he does it for the best of the club, I agree thers a couple of players he brought in which didn’t make and impact at all but others were strokes of genius, he will make the right decision
Agreed..get em all for god sake..rather than seeing Lucas and Gerrard playing every game.
Get them now.
