Liverpool will NOT copy Tottenham's mistakes! Rodgers backed to spend Suarez money wisely

Neil Warnock believes Liverpool will successfully reinvest the expected £80m they receive for Luis Suarez – unlike Tottenham who frittered away the mega-money they gained by selling Gareth Bale.

Spurs secured a world record fee from Real Madrid for the Welshman last summer and went on a spending spree, taking Nacer Chadli, Paulinho, Roberto Soldado, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen, among others, to White Hart Lane. 

The signings didn’t gel though and a lacklustre season saw the north London club finish sixth in the table, 10 points behind rivals Arsenal in fourth place.

Liverpool are expected to receive a similar fee for Suarez, who looks set to join La Liga giants Barcelona, and have already landed Southampton pair Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana, along with Bayer Leverkusen star Emre Can.

And Warnock insists Brendan Rodgers is building a superb squad, ahead of their attack on the Premier League and Champions League trophies.

"Liverpool are signing some good players,” he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show. “Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana know it all.

"When Tottenham sold Bale they just panicked and thought, ‘we’ll buy five or six players at £25-30million and it will all come right in the wash’. It doesn’t work like that though, you have to do your homework.

"£4m for Lambert is a great buy. You know what he can do and all the other players they are buying have that little bit of spark.

"Brendan has done well here. He pretty much knows that Suarez is going. He’s going to get the best he can because he needs a good squad with the Champions League next year.”
