Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits it can be difficult to tempt big names to Merseyside. Over the summer, the Reds chased Alexis Sanchez and made eyes at Radamel Falcao and Karim Benzema, but again they failed to land a trophy signature.
"We know what targets we wanted but for one reason or another they went elsewhere," said Rodgers. "The club have done everything they could over the summer to get the players to come here.
"Players now...in football terms, I think they look for more. They look for all these social factors and football as well. Say if someone gets offered more money to come here but they want to go to London, there is not much you can do."
