Well, is it ?
Is it better to have one superstar or two very good players ?
Seriously though..Hmm... Gerrard or Hamann and Murphy?
I'll have the superstar
Seriously though..
It depends, but most cases the collective is more important than the individual.
What about Torres v Suarez and Carroll ?
That's a terrible example really cause Carroll was awful.Torres in his prime for Liverpool everyday of the week... He was immense.. everything he touched back then turned to gold...
Now ??? I'd take Suarez & Carroll

What about our situation then Keni ?
Yeah but we don't have enough match winners in the team as it is. I'd rather suarez stay than use the money to strengthen the squad. But he's going anyway so lets just hope the money is spent wisely. But i'd rather buy a match winner than 2 good players.The issue we have is we don't have the cash or are in a position to splurge on players the calibre of Suarez. The squad needs improving in too many areas first. Once that's in place, only then could we be in a position to spend the money on one world class player per season.
I don't want to lose Suarez but can see the argument for using the cash we get for him to strengthen the squad first.
That was Rafa's policy and look where it got us in the end..
The spine of a succesfull team needs to carry Top Quality/World Class players in order to be succesful and you need that 'Superstar' to take you that step further... imho
History proves that.. Liverpool in the late 80's with John Barnes..
Utd/ England (arguably) with Beckham
Utd/ Real with Ronaldo
Barca with Messi
Liverpool with Gerrard (in his prime)
Chelsea with Drogba
Doesn't all 3 players add up to more than how much they got for rvp?Its a bit like RVP (2011/13: 30 goals 14 assists) - Carzola, Giroud, Podolski (2012/13: 34 goals 27 assists in total). And who's to say RVP wouldn't have got injured etc.
Like so many mentioned, it really depends on how the money is re-invested into the team.
