Hodgson LFC Press Briefing 21/12/2010
For now Hodgson is more concerned about putting his own stamp on the Liverpool squad, with the January transfer window offering him another opportunity to bolster his ranks.
Targets
"It will depend on the players who are available," he said.
"If the players are available that we have talked about, targeted and think would really make us a better team, then of course it would help me to shape the team a lot quicker than maybe will be the case.
"But I fear that the type of player we are looking at, the type of player we think is necessary to improve our team, won't be available in the transfer window even if money was available.
"We are anxious that any players we bring in are the right ones, the right ones for the future, not just the immediate future but the long-term future.
"It is also important that they are better than the players we have got, because I think the players we have got are better than they have shown on occasions and I believe they will be better in 2011."
Woah !
Just a few days ago he is banging on about trying to win with someone elses team. How difficult that is.
Now.
In the same week he is saying that there will be no decent players to buy in January.
So.
Logically.
That means Woy, you can make the excuse to us and the owners that you are still managing someone elses team until the summer.
"A Season Of Excuses". Good name for a film that.
Woah Part 2.
...."but the players we
have got are better than they have shown on occasions AND they will be better in 2011."
So.
The players you have got (being someone elses team) are not that bad after all.
AND
Obviously because of
you someone elses team will be better (than the other person managed them) in 2011.
FFS.
Arrogant twisted bullshit merchant.
