Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says they don't need European football to attract top talent.
While Rodgers is determined to finish in a Europa League slot at the very worst, he does not feel it will make or break Luis Suarez' future - or his chances of tempting players to Anfield.
He said: "European football is not going to define whether a player wants to come to Liverpool or not. Of course it is better if you are in the competitions but I'm sure there are players who will come here because they know there are improvements to come."
