RAFA ON TRANSFERS: THERE IS NO URGENCY YET
Mark Platt 23 June 2007
Rafael Benitez has told supporters not to panic about the club's lack of transfer activity so far this summer.
With the first batch of players due back at Melwood for the start of pre-season training on Thursday, press speculation is rife as to which 'big names' are on the Liverpool manager's shortlist.
But although he's keen to strengthen the squad as soon as possible, Benitez remains calm and insists progress is being made behind the scenes to bring new faces in.
"We have a number of targets, and I am receiving interesting phone calls all the time," he said.
"We are monitoring situations all the time and there is no urgency yet. If we bring in players from Spain, they only finished playing a week ago so they will need a longer break, but I would like somebody in before we start pre-season training."
looks like we'll sign someone soon........
