Kenny Dalglish vows to keep spending at Liverpool
Kenny Dalglish is confident of adding more new faces to his Liverpool squad ahead of the new season.[LNB]Dalglish has added Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson to his midfield and remains favourite to land Aston Villa's Stewart Downing after having a ?15million bid knocked back last week.[LNB]A number of fringe players could be set to leave Anfield and Dalglish said: 'We are happy with the business we have done so far.[LNB] Reds on tour: Charlie Adam (left), Jamie Carragher and Kenny Dalglish (right) in Guangzhou[LNB]'Hopefully we will do some more business before the window closes but I'm not going to give names because that's disrespectful. [LNB]'We are looking to bring other players in and that could mean we expect some to leave. That's football but we have a while to go yet and we'll see what we can do.' [LNB] The one they want: Stewart Downing[LNB]Adam flew out to China for a mini-tour of the Far East but Henderson has stayed at home after playing for England Under 21s at the European Championships in Denmark.[LNB]Skipper Steven Gerrard and goalkeeper Pepe Reina have also been left behind but the key pair should be fine for the start of the campaign.[LNB] [LNB]Gerrard is continuing his rehabilitation from groin surgery which ended his campaign in mid-March while Reina had a double hernia operation last month. [LNB]'Steven is injured at the moment and that's why he's not here with us,' said Dalglish in Guangzhou, where the team will play their first friendly in China on Wednesday. [LNB]'He has made a fantastic recovery from his operation towards the end of last season. [LNB]'He just needs to get the final couple of niggles out of the way and then he will be fit for the start of the season against Sunderland. [LNB]'I know people are disappointed he isn't here with us but the disappointment would be far greater if he couldn't play the first (Premier League) game. [LNB]'That is why he has stayed at home, to rest and to have the best chance of being fit for the start of the season. [LNB]'The same situation applies to Pepe (Reina) - he had a double hernia operation in June. [LNB]'He isn't fit and so had to stay at home. He should be ready for the start of the season.'[LNB] On the mend: Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has not played since March[LNB]Speaking in China, Adam thanked Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish for showing faith in him after Blackpool rejected the Reds' initial advances for the player in January.[LNB]Adam admitted it was a 'tough' period for him during the winter transfer window when the Seasiders decided to resist Liverpool's approach and hold onto a player they saw as vital to their hopes of staying in the Barclays Premier League.[LNB]Blackpool were ultimately relegated on the final day of last season, and after Liverpool renewed their interest in the former Rangers man, a deal was finally completed last week. Adam is now looking forward to his opportunity at Anfield.[LNB] Delighted: Adam thanked Dalglish for showing faith in him[LNB]The 25-year-old said: 'I'm delighted to eventually be here. Obviously it was tough in January with the decisions that were made and I respected Blackpool in that and I have now been able to come here and join a wonderful club, a massive club that is well known all over the world.[LNB]'Obviously I'd like to thank the manager for bringing me here and it is a step in my career I'm looking forward to.[LNB]'I want to learn and there are some of the best players in the world at this club so if I can learn from them I am going to improve as a player. That is my aim.'[LNB] CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR FREE FANTASY FOOTBALL GAMEMeireles and Aquilani wait on Serie A offers as duo head for Liverpool exitWenger set to swoop for Liverpool target Downing as replacement for Nasri Liverpool frustrated by 'barriers' preventing Anfield redevelopmentClub-by-club guide to all the Barclays Premier League summer transfersAll the latest Liverpool news, features and opinion[LNB] [LNB]
