Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has stated that he plans to be prudent in the transfer market this summer.
The Northern Irish manager has added
Joe Allen and
Fabio Borini to his Reds squad this summer so far, and is still eager to strengthen his contingent.
However, with predecessor
Kenny Dalglish and
Damien Comolli in mind, Rodgers has expressed his intent to be sensible in the search for new players.
“You have to spend money but not throw it around,” explained Rodgers. “In professional and social life, I like to get value. That is just my nature and my upbringing. I won’t pay anything at all costs, absolutely not,”
The Telegraph quote Rodgers as saying.
“There have to be certain factors to make a player want to come and play for you. Unfortunately for people, money distorts the reality.
“I prefer the hungry player and those that want to succeed. Of course they will earn good money – and they will get their value and worth if they perform. I also understand that it is about two things for some players – game time and money.
“Signing for Liverpool should be the beginning. If you look at the history of the club, it is about hungry players, coming in from the lower leagues, from clubs in Scotland and Ireland, and working their way up.
“Talent aligned with hard work takes you a long way. I just want to maintain that spirit within the club,” he concluded.
