“And I think [Liverpool] are going to have to do that with Andy.”
“I think it was obvious, as soon as Brendan went into Liverpool, that Andy’s time was going to have to be somewhere else,”

“But of course, as the manager, I want the best players I can get.”
“Whether it’s £15million, £16million or £20million, if [Rodgers] uses that money and gets an uplift in the player that he brings in, that’s okay,”
“And that’s how you’ve got to look at it.”
