Stan Collymore urges Liverpool to sign £100m man on astronomical wages

Stan Collymore believes Liverpool should have a big signing to jolt the dressing room for the next season. The Reds have failed to sign Timo Werner because of heavy price tag, instead going for left-back Kostas Tsimikas. They have also targeted Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara, though the two sides are still negotiating upon the transfer fee. However, Collymore thinks the newly-crowned champions need more vital signing with the likes of Barcelona's Antoine Griezmann who has been recently linked with the move to Anfield. Speaking to The Mirror, he said:“United boss Sir Alex Ferguson created a dynasty by constantly freshening things up with marquee signings. Liverpool haven’t yet done that. “Rio Ferdinand arrived at Old Trafford as the world’s most expensive defender. Then you had players like Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Juan Veron. “Signings like that say: ‘This is a test for you in the dressing-room now.’ Compare that to the message Liverpool’s dressing-room has received with the arrival of only full-back ­Konstantinos Tsimikas in the summer and Takumi Minamino in January. “If Liverpool want to defend their title then they have to get the cheque book out. “I like the Antoine Griezmann rumour.” “That’s why I like the Antoine Griezmann rumour – if Liverpool were to get the French international striker then the dressing room would be thinking the cavalry had finally arrived. “Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson created a dynasty by constantly freshening things up with marquee signings. Liverpool haven’t done that yet. “The only that that does give me comfort if the fact they have won several trophies recently and clearly like the feeling.”
