'We'll Always Attract The Best'

Pepe Reina believes the deadline day arrivals of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll proves that Liverpool will always attract football's top talent.

The Reds swooped to sign the strike pair on Monday, with Suarez already marking his debut as a second-half substitute against Stoke City with a goal.

Reina feels the acquisition of the duo underlines the fact that Anfield remains an attractive destination to the best players on the planet.

"Liverpool will always attract good players because it's an historic club. It's one of the big four teams in England," he said.

"The people will always want to come here, that's clear.

"I hope for many more of the goals that Luis scored within 30 minutes of coming on on Wednesday. We have to welcome him, and Carroll as well."

The victory over Stoke was Liverpool's third successive win in the Barclays Premier League, following triumphs over Wolves and Fulham.

Reina added: "It was important to keep that momentum; we knew they were winnable games, although in the Premier League you cannot say that too often.

"We had respect for the three teams we played but we won them all. And we're a lot better now."
