Kenny Dalglish accepts Liverpool's title credentials will be judged by results from the off, but believes he now has a much stronger side.[LNB] The club legend steered his beloved Reds to a steady finish after taking over from Roy Hodgson's turbulent stint, and has invested heavily into the side since.[LNB]Friday's capture of full-back Jose Enrique took Dalglish's spending to over £100million since January, prompting talk of a potential title charge.[LNB]Dalglish insists, though, that results must reflect their investments, and cooled talk of their Premier League hopes by suggesting cup success may be more feasible.[LNB]"We will be judged by what happens on the pitch, rather than off it, but at the moment it's positive," Dalglish told the Daily Mirror.[LNB]"The five guys we've brought in have strengthened the quality and improved the depth of the squad, and we are a lot stronger than last year.[LNB]"You need to win a lot of games to win a championship, but you don't need to win as many to lift a cup, so we will just focus on getting as many positive results as we can."[LNB]In addition to Enrique, Liverpool have brought in Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and goalkeeper Alexander Doni.[LNB]Henderson and Downing cost a reported fee of £20million each, but Dalglish insists the club have got good value for their money.[LNB]"Our owners deserve great credit and I'm really excited about the season ahead," Dalglish said.[LNB]"We didn't pay over the odds for anybody, in my opinion, and we are not going to scream to get more money from the owners.[LNB]"We can talk to them and if they say yes, then we can try and get them. If they say no, we're pleased with the support they've already given us."
