Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he needs to buy in the remaining weeks of the summer market.

With a number of key players having departed in the close season, such as the influential Dirk Kuyt and Maxi Rodriguez, Rodgers has a number of gaps that he needs to plug before the window closes.

"The reality is the club probably lacked depth last year," said Rodgers. "We need to make a few signings just to get back to those numbers. I believe we will do. But they are specific targets we are after and I believe when we get those players in they will make a difference for us."
