How Dry should our Powder be?

Michael Owen was tiny when he played for Liverpool at 17 years old.

He was a freak though had pace like few players. Moore looks to be superior in brain and technical skills to other players but still seems a bit like a boy which is no criticism just people go through growth at different rates. Rooney at 17 was like a 25 year old tank of a man.
 
Why is a player capable of scoring 21 goals whilst pressing like a maniac, in a mid table side, not someone for a team looking to push the top 3?
He had a great season but other than 1 other season in the champo thats the only time he's hit more than 15 goals and he turns 27 next month. I've probably watched him a reasonable amount over the years and just dont see that much ability. He looked better last year but on the flip side prior to that he has looked really ordinary and has had some pretty hefty goal droughts in his career. I'd rather we invested money elsewhere in the team given the lack of decent forward options.
 
When Salah signed for Liverpool at 24 years old; he had never scored more than 15 goals in a season; and he was playing in the Swiss and Egyptian League.

He then had 117 appearances in Italy. Only bagging 40 goals.

Came to the Prem; and got 44 goals in his first season.

Can you imagine if we signed a player with those historic stats. The forum would melt down and demand levy be fired.

Indeed and even considering Klopp didn't even want him.

Would Watkins be ambitious?

He's 29 in a few months and never scored more league goals in a single season than Solanke managed last year?

Salah was quality however. Solanke is not good enough. I might be wrong but I see him as nothing special at all.

To compare Salah to Solanke is just bizarre.
