I reckon Borini could get 10 for us myself, so that's a fair whack left to spend on someone else if Rodgers thinks the same.
Front 6 depth without Suarez

I like Borini, but if Suarez goes we're losing that ability to conjure up something out of nothing and to grab a goal out of thin air, we need someone special to do that. He might chip in, ala Kuyt, but with this squad, that would equate to being pretty much a solid squad player.
This thread's making me really really hope we keep Suarez
How about Bony? - He's pretty good I reckon.
Too slow
This
What last season reminded me was the pricelessness of quality goal scorers. They can win you games out of nothing. You can play like shit for 90 minutes and still walk away with a win, because you have players who are just brilliant at putting the ball in the back of the net.
I still think it's a pity we didn't go for Remy instead of Lambert. I reckon there'd be a lot fewer people fretting about getting a replacement striker in for Suarez if he was the back up to Sturridge instead of a very different (but still good) player like Lambert. Sanchez would then make much more sense as an all-round top class attacking option without having to be the out and out centre forward we'd ideally like.
I like your tiers! But, we should remember that No one would would have put Sturridge near this list when we bought him. And, Suarez was maybe a "Top class" forward when we bought him. Maybe.
As a club, we will still need to develop the highest level of players. If we sell our genius, I would be quite happy if we bought two "top class" forwards in Pedro and Sanchez (as rumored)- giving us 3 total - and hoping one of them can progress to the next level.
I actually think that would be very, very good outcome from the whole affair.
Pedro isn't Tier 3, maybe Tier 4 but then I'd not classify him as a striker myself.
Share similar sentiments. For example, Cavani's breakthrough came at Napoli (scoring rate at Palermo was something closer to 1 in every 2-3 games) while Lewandowski was a signing from Polish league (who could've move to Blackburn instead!). Immobile's scoring rate was 1 in 7 games for Genoa the season before last. Diego Costa never scored more than 10 goals a season until 2 seasons ago.
Unfortunately, at this moment, I don't have enough confidence in our scouting staff and/or transfer committee to identify such talents (at reasonable prices, too).
Origi?
Actually, agree with that. Perhaps, Pedro is more like Sturridge pre-Liverpool. Tier 4-5 with potential.
No doubt about it.
Right. If we're cashing in on Borini and Aspas too then we should have plenty of cash to fund such a purchase.
In a lot of the reports from a month or two back they were saying he would be a target if Suarez were to leave.
Isn't Sanchez more of a striker than a winger, though? Personally I'd think he would probably be enough as as Suarez replacement, along with Lambert (would have preferred Remy, but anyway).
I'd rather we spent money on a right back and a goalkeeper.

I think you should have realised by now that neither of those positions are under consideration for this Summer at the very least (from Rodgers comments last season and LFC's known targets this window).
If Suarez leaves i hope we panic and buy Tevez fron Juventus....we need a nutter like that.
Seriously we need a forward who can play at that level....
Dzeko from City may be?

City won't sell us anyone after us running them so close last season.
Munian always seemed a bit overrated to me but Fischer seems like next star from Earthvisie
