Jordan Henderson shows Liverpool's commitment to Youth.

An estimated £55m has been invested since Christmas to bring Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson from Newcastle and Sunderland. These two players each show great promise and heaps of potential, however both  have only ever produced one full season between them.

Liverpool no longer have the attractiveness of Champions League football which captures the eyes of world class players, so instead FSG's attention has turned to young, emerging, British players, who are willing to show pride and determination which some foreign players like N'gog, Poulsen and Ryan Babel clearly lacked.

They cannot provide concrete evidence that a Premier League winner's medal is achievable at Anfield, but Liverpool are showing signs that they are rising rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and pushing to retain their position as the best team in the land.

With the battering ram of Caroll, the technical ability of Henderson, and the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, who's been a Kop hit since his arrival from the Dutch champions Ajax for a fee of £22.8m, shows young players that the policy and rebuilding project they are conducting will ultimately achieve their aims of a return to the Champions league.

In recent weeks Liverpool have lost out on two up and coming british talents in the likes of Jones and Young. However, Dalglish has alternatives to these, such as Scott Dann, Stewart Downing, Connor Wickham, and Charlie Adam of Blackpool, this shows that the Liverpool board are willing to spend big to instill a winning mentality back to the club.
