12m for us is not bad business at all if true, Liverpool just have to hope he can get back the form he had before getting injured last season - because after that he was bad, very bad. But i'd also say Liverpool need a clinical striker and not Sturridge, who i see more like a second striker(/inverted winger), just like Suarez.
We have been doing some good business in last couple windows (Azpi, Cahill, Moses, Marin) so i'd expect we will be able to get a cheap, solid, midfielder. And also a cheap striker, if Roman doesn't feel like spending 50m on Falcao
He's just not as good a player as some people said he was, and you will hardly even hear about his on-field performances because of all the ridiculous things he does off the pitch. And some people said they want him at Chelsea? no!
