Makes no logical sense whatsoever. If there is genuinely no interest from City, then linking us isn't going to create a market, it's going to scare off the rest of the world. I wouldn't buy a player City were being linked with unless I was Roman, because I'd know I was going to be ripped off.
Way more to this than meets the eye IMO...
It's obvious Liverpool need additions to their squad. Yes, Suarez is by far and away their best player, and for that very reason he's the one player Rodgers will expect a huge bid for. They bought him for around £23m, there's no way he will go for less than £30m and, should City bid, they'll probably ask for even more.
With £30m, they could bring in at least 3 very good players, one of those could well be Villa as there's no way he will be at Barca beyond next season so he could be snapped up relatively cheap.
There's no other way that Liverpool are going to bring in anything like the money they would get for Suarez, for anything else, so to me it seems the only option for them.
Dalglish really did screw Henry & Co up there. That £100m they blew on Carroll, Henderson & Downing (it makes me laugh just thinking about it) could have brought in a good 5 or 6 excellent players and you wouldn't see Liverpool where they are now.
