I'm sure it's been covered earlier in this thread, but I'm surprised Liverpool didn't push for a part exchange with either Jovetic or Dzeko, given their relative paucity of strikers.
I know swap deals rarely happen, but it would've lessened the blow of the 20% sell-on clause that QPR have and I'm sure City would've been open to it.
It would surely have been preferable to us instead of the inevitable "loan with an option to buy" we'll probably get if either player goes to Italy this summer.
Maybe neither player was open to the move or, possibly Rodgers wasn't keen. The work ethic he seems to value so highly isn't really there with either player.
