Liverpool made around £75million from the sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona and rather than shop for a world class player to replace him, the club instead spent millions fleshing out the squad in anticipation of additional Champions League fixtures.
But with all of Rodgers’ summer signings like Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren failing to impress and Sturridge still out injured, the manager has hinted that loan deals may be necessary in the winter transfer window.
Spending more money on players will not completely solve Liverpool’s problems but rather Rodgers needs to get his current crop performing as promised.
