Liverpool boss Dalglish says Comolli crucial in double deadline raid

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has highlighted Damien Comolli's role in their double deadline day capture.

Comolli was heavily involved in the deals for Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll.

"Every day is a new era for a football club," Dalglish said. "The football club will always be here. We won't be but the club will. For us, we are looking forward to getting the club moving upwards and onwards.

"It's great credit to Damien Comolli that he did so well going out and getting those two lads and dealing with Ajax and especially Newcastle because it was so late in the day in the transfer window. It shows he's done a great job and reiterates what we said before about the ambition and support of the new owners.

"It just shows their desire to move the club forward. They said when they came in they wanted to take the club back to where it should be. This was their first opportunity to show that. They are actually a bit disappointed we didn't get more players in. That's a good thing.

"There will be a lot of people wishing they had these two in the squad."
