Liverpool attempted to sign Lucas Neill before the transfer deadline and may attempt to bring the Aussie to Anfield again as Neill is in the final year of his Blackburn contract. However, the Ewood Park outfit want Neill to sign a new contract with them.

"He is with us and we are still very hopeful that he'll sign a new contract but I think now we can just concentrate on playing our football and put this episode behind us," said Blackburn manager Mark Hughes.
