£75M To Spend - Who Will You Buy?

If you are given a tranfer budget of £75 million, who will you buy to improve the eixsting Liverpool team?

Here's my very own idea of spending the budget:

1. Samuel Eto'o, striker (Barcelona) = £30 million

2. Aiden McGeady, winger/attacking midfielder (Celtic) = £5 million

3. Vincent Kompany, defender/defensive midfielder (Hamburg) = £10 million

4. Fabio Paim, attacking midfielder/forward (Sporting Lisbon) = £8 million

5. Nicola Pozzi, striker (Empoli) = £5 million

6. Micah Richards, wing back/defender (Man City) = £7 million

7. Philip Lahm, wing back/winger left-right (Bayern Munich) = £10 million.

Please be informed that these prices are based on current valuation and does not represent the actual value of the player(s).
