You are right, they are different types of players but it depends on where you see Raheem playing. As wingers, Ibe is the better prospect. As No.10s it's Sterling. Upfront? Ibe as the better frame, strength and shooting but I don't think either are strikers.
When Sterling burst into the team under Kenny and then properly under Rodgers, don't think anyone saw him playing centrally so never know
Wiki says Flanno made his Liverpool debut in 2010. Kenny didn't take over until January 2011. Edit: I miss read it. His reserve debut was March 2010, his full debut April 2011 under Kenny
Haven't we been linked with Janmaat from Newcastle as well? A reduced list: Milner - Yes Delph - No (he also signed a new contract so would be well expensive) Alex Song - If nothing else (better than nothing, but other targets probably better) Benteke - yes for the right price Jovetic - no - too injury prone, we've got one of them in Sturridge Ings - yes Aubemeyang - yes Pedro - yes Lacazette - Yes Jackson Martinez - No Benzema - yes if wages not a problem Bolasie - No Walcott - No, same as for Jovetic Falcao - No Tevez - Yes Lavezzi - No Dani Alves - no Kyriakos Papadopoulis - no All others: don't know.
