Kuyt Says Liverpool Must Buy Players To Challenge Again


Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has said that some signings must be made in order to challenge for trophies again.

The Reds suffered a very disappointing season, missing out on Champions League football and will suffer the ignominy of starting their Europa League campaign at the first hurdle in July.

With unpopular American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett having put the club up for sale, there is much uncertainty over Liverpool's financial future and consequently the Anfield careers of Rafa Benitez and star players such as Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Kuyt said that new players are needed, commenting, “If we can buy a few more players, I think we will be really close to winning trophies again."

Looking to the future, Kuyt said that the Reds must make amends next season, commenting, “Liverpool is a massive club,

“It’s very disappointing that we don’t have the Champions League because, up until last season, we had done so well in the competition.

“But this is what has happened. We have just got to make sure that we will be right back in it next year. Players who want to play in the Champions League would like Liverpool.

“We just have to make sure that we will back in it within one year.”
