Rodgers, who has been in place since taking
over from Kenny Dalglish in June, has been linked with a string of players in
recent weeks. The former Swansea boss has suggested much of the speculation is
wide of the mark, but inferred new blood could be in place ahead of the club's
pre-season tour of the United States."I won't be bringing in many,"
he said at a press conference on Monday. "We don't have a wheelbarrow full
of money. There is not the money that people think there is."There certainly
won't be as many as are being reported out. Hopefully we can close out one deal
this week, maybe two, and then we'll add to that over the
pre-season."Liverpool have been linked with Real Madrid midfielder Esteban
Granero and Bologna playmaker Gaston Ramirez, but Rodgers would not be drawn to
comment on individuals."I will never speak about targets and possible
signings," he said. "All I will say is that there has been a whole
raft of players linked to Liverpool, of whom only a few are accurate, but I will
never speak about individuals."We'll maybe make three or four tweaks which
will help the squad. We want to make the team competitive at the top end
again."
