4. Profit
That word isn't something Liverpool Football Club is particularly good at acquiring. Recent losses have been made on Charlie Adam, Andy Carroll (sickening really) and Stewart Downing. Ok, the last guy hasn't left for
less than £20 million yet but he will do at some point in the future, in this window or the next and he's never proved to be worth that much, thus a loss. Luis Suarez represents a great way of mimicking the Borussia Dortmund model - buy cheap, sell expensively. If Liverpool can scoop up the sum they want (believed to be
at least £50 million) then they've officially made a profit of around £28m - not including wages. That's another world class player to go alongside the world class player who needs to replace Suarez. If you reinvest profits wisely your business will grow and it's the same thing with football squads. Take Dortmund, they bought
Kagawa for 350,000 euros and sold him to Manchester United for
£17 million. They used that money to fund a move for German starlet Marco Reus and the rest is history. The German team reached the Champions League Final and became every single football fans' second team in one season. I'm not saying if Liverpool sold Suarez they'd become an instant force in the Premier League, I'm just saying this method is tried and tested and could be an option for FSG and Brendan Rodgers to consider. BR has already proven he can spot a talent with Sturridge, Coutinho and Aspas all proving instant hits. Just give him the profit and let him build.
