The problem with Shearer, is that it would be a quick fix. He is still a fantastic striker and I would still pick him for england over anyone else. But I believe that one or two things stand in the way of him coming to Anfield. Firstly he has hinted (if not stated) that this will be his last season as a footballer and I have never ever known the liverpool board go for a quick fix option before. Secondly, it just doesn't make good financial sense. Why splash out, oh i don't know, £8 million on a player for two years tops when for around an extra fifteen we would have a chance of snatching Wayne Rooney who could last another ten. Hmmm...
