Barnes keen to see Rodgers add to Liverpool squad

Liverpool legend John Barnes is eager to see manager Brendan Rodgers splash out in the summer market.

Rodgers has already been promised a significant transfer budget for the summer and the lure of Europe's elite club competition should mean he can attract a better quality of player than was the case 12 months ago.

Barnes told PA Sport: "They need to make additions to the squad. Liverpool have had a great 13-14-man squad but it's been a freak year that they have been able to use so few players.

"That's not always going to happen so, allied to the fact that you will be playing Champions League as well, you really need to get a bigger squad and I am sure Liverpool will get more signings.

"They will be able to do that now they have Champions League so I don't think they can go into next season the same squad.

"I don't think they need to sign massive names. Look at what Brendan Rodgers has done with Jordan Henderson."
