Brendan Rodgers looking to spend big

After witnessing a few truly awful transfer windows, Liverpool fans must have been pleasantly surprised by the promising January acquisitions of Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho.

And now with the Red’s linked with several exciting targets from around Europe it looks as if Brendan Rodgers may be planning to spend again.

"It is quality we are after, not quantity," Rodgers told the club’s official website.

"There is no doubt there is a natural rebuilding that will come with the likes of Jamie Carragher retiring. I am happy with the squad if I can then put another three or four quality players to it.”

He also acknowledged the impact his January signings have had on the club.

"We see Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge's quality in January, if we bring in another three or four players of that quality and add that to what we have got then we have got a strong squad. I'm talking about two players in every outfield position and your three goalkeepers. Then below that having young players who can support that.

"There is a lot of terrific work going on behind the scenes with the scouting department getting lists together. Of course you have an ideal target, but you have to have three players and if one doesn't come off you have to be comfortable with the other two. We are much better placed now than we were last summer."
