Swansea boss Rodgers seeks quality over quantity in January market

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers says he wants quality over quantity in the January market.

Rodgers had previously said he would look to bring up to six players to the Liberty Stadium during January, but he will not simply be looking to add extra bodies to his squad.

He said: "I could bring in 10 bodies but they might be no good.

"I need to know I have quality, the first six months of the season was always going to be a learning curve for us and the players that got us promoted had earned the right (to play in the Premier League).

"We had a couple of moves that fell through so we have had a really small group, but January will give us a chance to assess where we are at and we know fine well that we need to strengthen, but I am not one to bring people in for the sake of it.

"I would rather have quality than quantity and we need enough quality players here if I need to make changes that can affect the game."
