There is no up and coming Suarez. He's a one off like Cronaldo and Messi and Iniesta etc.
There are a couple of striker though who I think fit in your category of thinking Tes.
Lorenzo Insigne, Max Kruse, Mattia Destro, Manolo Gabbiadini, Alexandr Kokorin, Ciro Immobile and Alexandre Lacazette.
Obviously Immobile has only just moved to Dortmund so he is out of the equation.
I think Kruse, Kokorin and Lacazette will be the next best up and coming strikers imo. Insigne has been around at the top level more but he'll be too hard to prize away from Napoli. Gabbiadini I've seen a couple of times and he has a real exciting future but way off the others in that list in terms of development imo.
Kokorin is supposed to be Russia's poster boy for 2018.
Tes we have no need for Depay when we have Lallana, Markovic, Sterling, Coutinho, Borini and Ibe in the squad.
Ibe's probably off out loan to Bolton, and Borini we can't bank on being at the club.
I've not seen Gabbiadini (other than Marco
) or Kokorin, but all the others are the sorts I'm thinking of, and neither Sturridge or Suarez, and therefore their partnership, are strikers in the more conventional sense and I'd term our's as more of a fluid forward line than a partnership or conventional 'strikeforce', which is where my thinking of more flexible attacking players comes from, rather than what you'd call 'wingers', more wide attackers or players that play from out to in, rather than simply going down the line and putting in a supply to 'strikers'.
By having a group of players that are all capable of providing goals and chances, we'd be able, hopefully, to fashion a forward line and attack that is interchangeable in both personnel and position of said players at any given moment, whilst each combination provides it's own small individual details and minor differences, the overall unit fits the styles and tactics Rodgers utilises without it causing any noticeable upheaval or required change in approach anywhere on the rest of the pitch, and for those tasked to essentially be the supply line to the attacking unit and who occasionally drop into and out of actually being a part of that unit themselves.
Without a very obvious main goal supply (though Sturridge gets quite close), we don't get caught relying on form, injuries, suspensions etc falling favourably for us, and goals, like defending, becomes a collective task, and it takes away the human flaw of relying on another you regard as more suited than yourself. And by having more players who have 'routinely' scored goals as a part of their 'game', we increase our chances of getting the goal(s) the individual match requires from us. As long as we can keep the question as "who
will", rather than "will we" score, then we should be OK.
That's the theory anyway.
