Put a Liverpool contract on the table for every Basel player, at the same wages he's getting there, and see how many sign up Leighbo.
Weird argument from you to be honest.
I don't think it's a weird argument at all. CL games are a massive pull for any player as it increases their worth to their sponsors and increases their chance of endorsements. The Spurs reference regarded 2-3 players we tried to buy the season Spurs did make the CL. The common factor of choosing Spurs over 'Pool was CL Football.
As a LFC fan it's hard to say BUT we actually don't have the pull of the top English clubs as we used to. Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelski will be a 1st choice for players moving to England with Pool, Spurs and Everton the next tier down.
Why would a player choose poor little Basel over cash rich LFC?
