Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson
won't go mad in the final days of the summer market if the club is
bought out by new owners.
Manchester City broke the
British transfer record with the £32.5m purchase of
Robinho on the last day of
August 2008 only to regret it, and Hodgson wants to avoid a similar
error at Anfield should the club’s circumstances improve.
He said: "We have made a couple of signings so far, we have
brought in Joe Cole, Danny
Wilson and we hope to bring in at least another couple. We've done
our research on the players we are able and capable of signing, on
players that Liverpool want
right now and you have to remember it is not how much they cost but
how good the are.
"The danger would be in a late takeover that the money would be
available and we wouldn't have the chance to do our research. If a
lot of money did become available as happened at Manchester City and Chelsea in the past, we would make sure we did our
research before we started splashing the money around.”
