Rafa must sell before he can buy

Gareth Barry probably tops that list, but the Liverpool boss has made it clear that players must be sold in order to make way for new faces.

"Every single year it is important to sign good players, the right players. This year will be the same," he said.

"We know we have better players and it will be more difficult to find better players than we have now, but still we have to do it.

"We are working very hard during the whole season, looking and watching players. I think that we will be ready.

"We are working on targets and we will try to do things as quickly as possible and as cheap as possible.

"Clearly we have to work hard and maybe we need to sell someone."
