If you follow me on Twitter (I'm sorry, I don't mean to plug it at every opportunity, it's just a
medium I've increasingly used), you know I'm prone to infrequently reference indie rock music. Even
if it seems to alienate people. Well, I've had The Hold Steady's song "Constructive Summer" in my
head for some time now.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is rumoured to be preparing a January bid for CSKA Moscow playmaker
Keisuke Honda and has been promised funds to make such a move due to the sales of Javier
Mascherano, Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun during the recent transfer window.
Hodgson had hoped to secure a striker signing before the transfer deadline but failed in his
attempts to sign Carlton Cole and Roman Pavlyuchenko but apparently the Anfield manager is also
looking to add more creativity to his midfield and is hoping to bring in a player who can supply
the ammunition for his threadbare front line.
Took this from another blog, still not in the mood to write:
Gillett: "We have invested more money than our competitors, in keeping with the history of the
club"
Hicks: "Our debt is very managable.... and we never use player sales for debt service. The
summer window will be big."
Tom Hicks (27 May 2010): "We have no intention of selling any of our top players and we have a
substantial transfer budget in place.
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has warned more fringe players could leave the club as he streamlines
his squad.
Since taking over from Rafael Benitez, Hodgson has seen Albert Riera, Alberto Aquilani, Emiliano
Insua and Diego Cavalieri among others leave the club.
And the 62-year-old said players who do not feature in the first team nor offer future promise
could exit Anfield.
