Spendin's Roders! Bren wants 4 top signings in summer
Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2013 by The Sun
CAPITAL IDEA ... Rodgers is tracking Ashley Williams, who last month led Swansea to Capital One Cup glory
BRENDAN RODGERS has targeted four summer signings to fire Liverpool back to the top.
Swansea and Wales skipper Ashley Williams tops the Kop manager’s list, with centre-back Jamie Carragher set to retire at the end of the season.
Rodgers is also eyeing Feyenoord defender Stefan de Vrij, Newcastle midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, Blackpool’s former Reds rookie Thomas Ince and Lyon’s versatile French left-back Aly Cissokho.
Rodgers said: “There is a natural rebuilding with the likes of Carra going.
“I am happy with the squad and if I can then put another three or four quality players to it, then great. But it is quality we are after, not quantity.”
Phillipe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge have proved a real hit since arriving in January.
And Rodgers added: “We see Coutinho and Sturridge’s quality.
“There were some key positions we needed support in but I didn’t want to waste the club’s money.
“I like to know what we are bringing in.”
