iverpool defender Jamie Carragher says the club will be concentrating on regaining their place in the top four next season.[LNB] The Reds finished the last campaign in a disappointing seventh place after facing strong challenges from the likes of Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham for the final the Champions League spot.[LNB]Spurs eventually grabbed the sought after place to break the once dominant hold Liverpool had at the top of the Premier League, alongside Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.[LNB]But off-the-field turbulence at Anfield has continued to rumble throughout the week and manager Rafa Benitez is unlikely to have the funds he desires to bolster his squad.[LNB]And Carragher says his side will focus on climbing back up the table - rather than mounting a strong title challenge - because of the shortage of cash available to their Spanish manager to strengthen.[LNB]The England stopper said in The People: "Clubs like Real Madrid and Inter Milan can just throw £100million at new players if they don't win the title.[LNB]"But Liverpool can't do that. We have to build. We can't just raid the transfer market.[LNB]"Next season, rather than thinking too much about the title, we have to concentrate on getting back in the top four."
