Comolli eyes 'complete' squad

Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli believes the current squad is so "complete" there are not currently areas under review for improvement.In a summer of change at Anfield manager Kenny Dalglish brought in seven new players and offloaded most of the deadwood which had accumulated over the last couple of years.The Frenchman said: "We are very pleased with what we've done during this window and the previous one as well. For me it's like a big window from January until August 31 and in total we brought in nine players, we changed the team and changed the squad, so it's the time to reflect."He added: "To be honest I would really struggle to say we need something there or something there because I think we have such a complete squad at the moment."Let's see how those players develop, how they gel together, how the young players like Sebastian Coates adapts, and then we can make a decision (on areas to strengthen) later."While there was a need to make significant changes to arrest the decline of the last two seasons Comolli pointed out the recruitment policy was part of a long-term strategy and not just a quick fix.All but the 32-year-old Craig Bellamy of the nine players signed under Dalglish are aged 27 or under."It's not a work for one season, it's a work for two, three, four seasons, especially when you are investing in young players, as we've done," said the director of football."Hopefully we'll reflect back on the summer of 2011 - which was crucial, we knew that - and then we'll be happy with the work we've done."
