For Rush, even the departure of Fernando Torres, the Spanish striker who became such a hit in the No.9 shirt he himself made famous throughout the Eighties, has been turned into a positive by Dalglish.
"Fernando Torres is a fantastic player," admits Liverpool's record goalscorer and now the club's Soccer Schools Ambassador, "but if someone hands in a transfer request and says he doesn't want to play for Liverpool Football Club then you let them go. The way Kenny Dalglish handled the situation was absolutely fantastic - he got two brilliant players in to replace Torres and we'll be a better team for it. As good as Torres was, he was only one player. I wish Fernando success in what he does in the future but the thing that I can't get out of my head is the way he disappointed the fans. I think the supporters felt let down by him. They absolutely loved Fernando Torres and gave him everything they could in terms of their support. He was idolised by the Kop and I think they thought he would repay their support by staying with the Club for a long, long time but he had other ideas and now we've moved on and I think we've got the better deal
"In Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll, Liverpool have got two amazing signings who can write themselves into Liverpool folklore in the future. They're both young, they're both hungry, they're ambitious and they're very, very talented. Suarez scored on his debut, hit the bar and hit the post in his first start against Wigan and he's eager. He's running around and closing defenders down which is what I like about him. That's what you want to see from a Liverpool striker.
