3. Need to focus on immediate needs
Even if we assume that Ince has sufficient ability and quality about him to be a success in the Premier League, he is not the player who will be able to come in and make an immediate impact for the first team. Liverpool already have a similar player in Raheem Sterling in the side and have loaned out Suso to Almeria for him to gain experience. Buying yet another similar player makes little sense.
There are other areas of the team that need strengthening immediately- the full back positions and defensive midfield spring to mind- and the money will be better spent there. Even if Liverpool do require an offensive reinforcement, it would be financially more prudent to recall Suso from his loan spell rather than spend £6-8m on a player who is still not the finished product.
