iverpool manager Kenny Dalglish insists it has been "necessary" to spend money since returning to the Anfield hotseat.[LNB] Dalglish has splashed out more than £100million on new talent since taking over as manager in January and he has paid tribute to the club's American owners Fenway, led by John W Henry, for putting up the money.[LNB]Dalglish is looking to make further reinforcements before the season, with Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique expected to join, and a centre-half also on the Scot's shopping list.[LNB]"Everyone hopes all their signings will come in and make a huge impact, but we believe we have improved and enhanced the talent we already had here," said Dalglish.[LNB]"Spending money does not guarantee you success. (But) I don't know of any football club that has ever had success that has not spent money. So it is necessary. [LNB]"But it's even more important to spend it wisely. We've acted responsibly in the transfer market and we've also acted responsibly and respectfully with the owners, who have been fantastically supportive during the window. [LNB]"If there is a better owner that is as supportive as John W Henry, then they have done very well for themselves because he's fantastically supportive, a genuinely good fella. [LNB]"I never had any doubts (about Henry's credentials), so you need to ask the people who had the doubts."
