Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson says he's ready to discuss transfer plans with the club's powerbrokers.
Hodgson wants to bring in some new faces but will fully assess the merits of the squad he has inherited before making any decisions.
"I haven't had time to sit down with the chairman (Martin Broughton), chief executive (Christian Purslow), with Kenny Dalglish, Sammy Lee, with Eduardo (Macia), the chief scout," he said.
"Before we decide what we need I need to canvas the opinions of all these people about what has been going on.
"I need to hear what the backroom staff think and not base my opinions on the Liverpool matches I saw this season.
"We need some players and I would like to come into the club with one or two players which will freshen things up.
"But we have to make very good decisions and use any money we get very wisely - we won't be able to splash out money left, right and centre."
