China a better location to stay?? Chinese clubs are only able to provide $$$.
End of the day, Liverpool was buying wrongly or players out of position.

If what you claim is 100% correct, then why did Suarez put in a transfer request to try and leave Anfield for the Emirates in his penultimate season? It was definitely not about £££ but all about playing in the CL.
Same goes for Torres leaving for StamfordBridge.
Btw the above is not an opinion but "facts" confirmed by Steven Gerrard in his book "My Story".
Gerrard in his book even mentioned that he tried to influence Willian and Toni Kroos to come to Liverpool but both politely told him that they need to be playing CL footie and left for Chelsea and Real Madrid instead.
And if you watched the weekend's BT coverage on the United v Bournemouth game with Rio, Gerrard and Wright as pundits, you would have heard Rio saying how vital it is even for a club as big and rich as United to get into the CL next season (after already missing out on 1 season of CL) if it wants to continue to attract world class/top quality talent for next season.
As for China, if they are able to attract true blue world class talent in their prime, then I shall take notice. Sorry but the likes of Oscar and Pelle Graziano ain't in that league and Carlos Tevez is too old.
