However, the window closed without any new arrival and that has led to criticism from fans, with Rodgers admitting yesterday he would not have allowed Carroll to leave had he not been very confident of bringing in someone else. Disappointing: The Liverpool owner has expressed dismay over the failure to land a new striker 'I am as disappointed as anyone connected with Liverpool Football Club that we were unable to add further to our strike force in this summer transfer window,' said Henry in an open letter published on liverpoolfc.com.
'But that was not through any lack of desire or effort on the part of all of those involved. Plenty to ponder: Liverpool were beaten at home by Arsenal - leaving them with one point from three games 'They pushed hard in the final days of the transfer window on a number of forward targets and it is unfortunate that on this occasion we were unable to conclude acceptable deals to bring those targets in.
'But a summer window which brought in three young, but significantly talented starters in Joe Allen, Nuri Sahin and Fabio Borini as well as two exciting young potential stars of the future - Samed Yesil and Oussama Assaidi - could hardly be deemed a failure as we build for the future.' There's the exit: Rodgers allowed Carroll to leave - but the club failed to land a replacement
