After a season of turbulence on and off the pitch, Liverpool
defender Jamie Carragher claims that the club will be focused on
just getting back into the top four next season.
Having finished seventh in the Premier League, Liverpool were
usurped in the Champions League places by Tottenham and only just
made it into the Europa League behind Aston Villa and Manchester
City.
But with the future of manager Rafa Benitez up in the air and
the continuing issues surrounding co-owners Tom Hicks and George
Gillett, Carragher believes that, instead of attempting to reignite
a strong title challenge, the club should just target finishing in
the top four again.
"Clubs like Real Madrid and Inter Milan can just throw £100
million at new players if they don't win the title,'' he told
the People. "But Liverpool can't do that. We have to
build. We can't just raid the transfer market.
"Next season, rather than thinking too much about the title, we
have to concentrate on getting back in the top four."
