Apart from Alonso, who is a short-term option more than anything, the names you have mentioned Brem are all unproven in the EPL. It's definately a gamble to peg big short-term hopes on a player that you'll be spending 20m+ for who may need time to acclimatize to the league.
Gerrard is on his way out, the longer Suarez actually stays around the more Spanish clubs will circle him - IMO Liverpools genuine title hopes will be gone within a year or two. You guys need to do what you can now. Alonso, maybe, or Lallana IMO would be your best midfield bets.
Apparently Poch wants to use his relationship to get Lallana at Sp*rs, as phernz said, so this will only drive his price up more as Levy has no issues spending.
The strongest rumours ATM for Pool are midfielders & strikers (Lambert the freshest), though. You guys need a lot more CB rumours and/or signings happening!
