Liverpool transfer policy in the spotlight as Tom Ince looks Cardiff bound
Posted On 25th June, 2013
Liverpool have lost out on the signature of former youth product Tom Ince to Cardiff City, who have reportedly convinced Blackpool to part with their star winger. Tom, son of former Liverpool and Manchester United star Paul Ince, scored 18 goals for the Tangerines last season and was widely tipped to re-join Liverpool in the January transfer window, but the Reds were unable to come to terms with Blackpool, as they attempted to snag a major discount on their buy back despite having only a percentage of future fee component in Ince’s contract.
Liverpool’s inability to spot talent when they had in their midst and their inability now to re-sign Ince when the youngster was available reeks of a systemic failure that exists at the club.
Liverpool splashed out millions on players like Stewart Downing, Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson, and while their signings are a valuation failure on a business sense, their ability identification is an even bigger failure in the scouting department, something that was magnified by the club’s decision to let a player of the quality of Ince Junior leave.
It remains to be seen how their new signings Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto fare in the Premier League, but they aren’t no names in Spain for nothing.

I think if Liverpool are looking to get themselves back into the elite and make the champions league places this season then Tom ince is not the type of player they should be signing.

I never thought I'd see the day where we could potentially beat a European giant like liverpool to a signing Lol. even if we don't get him, its still a great feeling knowing that we are being linked to players that the likes of liverpool are also linked with. GOOD TIMES

No offence to Ince but hes not good enough for Liverpool yet and if they want to get back into the Champions League sooner rather than later then they need quality now, not a player who make peak in 3-4 years.
