Martinez Warns Liverpool Off Rodallega

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has told Liverpool that they have left it too late to make a move for striker Hugo Rodallega.

Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has boosted his midfield and defensive options this summer, but has yet to add any attacking reinforcements to complement an already impressive front line of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.

Time is running out in the summer transfer window, but it is being claimed Dalglish is ready to test Wigan's resolve to hold onto Rodallega. The Colombian's contract has less than a year to run, but the Latics have insisted they will not sell as it will not give them enough time to bring in a replacement.

"We would not consider anything," Martinez is quoted as saying in the Daily Mirror. "You can't replace players at this stage of the season.

"If a player is moving on for big money they have to go earlier in the summer. We would not be in a position to replace him now. It is not possible."
