Brendan Rodgers will continue to monitor the transfer window for Liverpool to improve as they face a challenging season in the Premier League and in the Champions League.
“We’ll continue looking right until the very end,” Rodgers said. “I’m as excited as anyone about being in the Champions League but you have to create a squad that can cope with the European challenge as well as the domestic one. I know how big the expectation is at this club when it comes to Europe but the initial task is to get out of the group stages and you don’t look any further than that. I see a parallel with the Dortmund model. When they were going well in the Bundesliga they couldn’t get out of the group stages in the Champions League, then the year they got to the final they faltered a little in their home league. It’s a difficult balance to strike, but it’s not worrying me. There’s no fear, it’s just brilliant as a young coach to be involved in something so exciting.”
