1) Jay Rodriguez – Southampton
With no disrespect to Jay Rodriguez, or any of the other targets mentioned in this list – Liverpool seriously need to widen their horizons from Southampton and Swansea if they want to sign players to actually improve their first-team. Southampton finished eighth last term, and Swansea finished 12th, and Liverpool fans will see Chelsea signing Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal acquiring Alexis Sanchez, and Manchester United targeting Angel di Maria and Arturo Vidal – and question why their club, who finished 2nd last term and has an enormous transfer budget – are trying to buy mid-table Premier League players.
