Ed don't have to give me names but surely we have other options than Benteke and Bacca. From reading todays info, Villa have no intention of dropping their price. Thus should make us move on straight away. Bacca is happy where he is and i wouldn't wanna spend over £21.8m to get him.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained many times where the club has interest but generally clubs don't just buy for the sake of it - although I agree Liverpool might.

Right now it is something like this for the "forward" players considered:

Firmino - he has agreed to join.
Ings - has agreed to join Liverpool.
Benteke - interest has returned but price is seeming to be an issue.
Bacca - Liverpool has spoken with his agent but no offer has been placed with his club.
Llorente - Liverpool has been in contact with his agent.
Mandzukic - Someone representing Liverpool has approached his agent, but he is moving elsewhere.
Ntep - Stade Rennais' Paul Georges Ntep has been watched.
Vietto - Moving to Atletico Madrid as expected.
Heung Min Son - I suspect it would be very difficult to make happen as he seems very happy where he is and will be playing in the Champions League.
Carlos Vela - looked at recently but nothing more.
Aubameyang - he is keen on a move to Italy but may stay where he is.
Gameiro - his stock is on the rise but Liverpool have had no recent contact (according to a representative of another interested club).
Baez - this is probably one to forget now.
Kishna - all English interest has gone or never materialised according to De Boer.
Lacazette - another English side met twice with Lyon about Lacazette and a number of other issues and any move this summer, particularly to England, is not viable right now although interest remains from elsewhere - Aulas has mocked rumours that Liverpool could buy the player.
Depay - moving elsewhere.
Bakkali - interest will have gone.
Andre Ayew - going elsewhere.
Walcott - if Sterling were to leave then a move for Walcott may be considered.
Cheryshev - if Sterling were to leave then a move for Cheryshev may be considered.

So basically it boils down too
Bacca,benteke,Llorente as an actual striker. Or we go for a winger in walcott,ntep, cheryshev. I personally am baffled why we didn't bring in Baez. Yet another idiotic decision by the club. Not one of the names listed interests me one bit.

Benteke and Llorente though good players just wouldn't suit out style of play. Benteke was useless the beginning of the season and only started to show his qualities when villa started pumping balls into the box which if i'm not mistaking we had thenleast cross attempts out of every team in the prem last season.

Ed2 if you don't mind what's the situation with Rondon on that list? Cheers

{Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest from Liverpool in the past couple of years.}
