Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, has advised the fans not to keep too much store with the January window, reminding them that the club might struggle to land top quality players at Anfield.
The Northern Irishman was also of the opinion that the January transfers have a little impact on the final standings of a team. Therefore, he was more focused on strengthening the squad next summer.
The Reds failed to do successful business during the summer, losing the services of scores of forwards and failing to bring in their suitable replacements. Andy Carroll was sent out on loan close to the deadline date to West Ham United. It appeared almost
certain that the American Clint Dempsey will fill in his shoes. However, the former Fulham striker opted to pursue his career at Tottenham Hotspur at the eleventh hour, leaving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163.
With the January window fast approaching, it is expected from the Reds to sign a couple of forwards in order to ease their attacking woes. Atletico Bilbao’s prolific hit-man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Llorente-c13671, is one name which has appeared in the rumours to make a ostentatious
move to Merseyside.
Nonetheless, Rodgers has called upon the fans to keep their expectation level under check. The Ulsterman reminded them that things might not necessarily transpire to their likings, pointing out that the world class players will be difficult to lure to Anfield.
“The reality [about] all the names bandied about is 'are they going to be available?' Certainly we will bring in what we can help us and then we will revisit again,” he told the reporters.
“All our problems were never going to be solved in this window because the January window is one of the least productive and the least movement goes on there.”
“We will look to revisit it in the summer knowing that in the summer we will be better placed than the last previous summer.”
Anyhow, the former Swansea City chief went on to reveal that despite his major plans for next summer, he will add to his squad in January in order to bolster the team’s chances of Champions League qualification.
