Liverpool chief Rick Parry is coy over the prospect of new signings being made in January.

"It is difficult to do smart business in January," he said.

"Teams still in the Champions League certainly are not going to sell, and it takes time to settle players in.

"Ideally you do your business in the summer, so your players can have a whole pre-season with you rather than playing catch up. But we will see.

"I really do not think we will be doing a great deal of business in January. We have got the squad."
