John W. Henry has dismissed transfer speculation surrounding the Reds. Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina have been linked with moves away from Anfield in January but NESV's principal owner was quick to shoot down such nonsense. "We have recently read stories about our intentions for the forthcoming January transfer window and have a sense of humour about this type of inevitable speculation," said Henry. "As everyone knows we are new to English football, but not to sport, and we are studying all options. Opportunities and value will drive spending in January and in the future. "Our clear focus from day one of our ownership has been - and will be - to improve the club and focus on what it will take to put Liverpool FC consistently in a position to challenge for trophies. "We intend to build this club the right way. "Stories about our top players leaving are destructive and unwarranted but we realise that this kind of speculation is also common. "We intend to build on the strength of the current squad, not undermine it. And I can reassure our supporters that we have no intention of allowing the team to be weakened going forward."
