Roy: I want another striker
29th Aug 2010 - Latest News
Roy Hodgson is keen to add another striker to his squad before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.
The boss has already secured the signature of Raul Meireles from Porto this weekend - but that won't necessarily be the end of his business this summer.
Hodgson said: "We've got space to add a player. We'd like another striker, we've said that all along and there's no point me denying it. But we still haven't found the right man and time is running out for us."
Asked if Swedish forward Ola Toivonen could arrive at Anfield, Hodgson said: "No. Unlikely. He's a good player but not the profile I'm looking for."
Reporters also quizzed the boss on whether Lucas Leiva might be allowed to leave the club.
He said: "I suppose if someone comes in and offers £20million for him and he wants to go, maybe we'll consider it! But it's a bit late in the day, that's for sure. I'm not anxious to be getting rid of any players this late in the day."
On the signing of Meireles, Hodgson added: "We're very pleased about that. We've lost some quality midfield players in Benayoun, Riera, Aquilani on loan and Mascherano. It was very good to bring in Poulsen and Meireles, two quality players."

Liverpool Set Sights On £4.5m Monaco Playmaker Eidur Gudjohnsen
Anfield boss interested in vastly experienced Icelandic international.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has set his sights on snapping up out of favour Monaco midfielder Eidur Gudjohnsen. The Icelandic international is set to be offloaded by the Ligue 1 club who appears surplus to requirements at the Stade Louis II and the Anfield boss is looking to bring in the vastly experienced campaigner to give him added strength in depth.
Having completed a successful loan spell at White Hart Lane last term many believed the former Barcelona and Chelsea man would complete a permanent move to north London but a deal fell through leaving the 31 year old to wonder what his next move would be.
The adaptable performer, who was very successful as an out and out forward in his Stamford Bridge days, can now play across the midfield and behind the strikers in a number of positions and could be a very useful addition to Hodgson’s squad as they look for success on a number of fronts.
A move for Gudjohnsen would cost around £4.5m and the Monaco man would surely jump at the chance of a return to the English top tier where he has netted 106 goals in 349 appearances and is of course a double Premier League winner during his time at Chelsea.

and even more bullshit.............................
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is keen on Atletico Bilbao forward Fernando Llorente and is ready to make a big money offer to bring the Spanish international to Anfield. The giant 6ft 5in striker has been a consistent attacking force for the past three La Liga seasons and is now part of Vicente Del Bosque’s all conquering World Cup winning side and could well be ready for a new challenge.
Llorente has been at the Basque club since the age of 11 and has proven a solid performer in recent seasons netting 53 times in the past three years but has seen Bilbao fail to make a move towards the European spots in the La Liga table.
Hodgson may feel that Llorente could complement Fernando Torres in a front pairing and now that the club has sold Javier Mascherano they should have funds to make an offer for the 25 year old. Having already offloaded Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera the Liverpool boss would hope to have money to further reinvest in his squad after bringing in Raul Meireles from Porto.
The fact that the Merseyside outfit have two prominent members of Spanish international side may well act as further temptation for the Pamplona born forward.

Sounds like bull.
i was wondering what strikers would be available at a price we could afford...
Gudjohnson and Llorente both popped into my mind - No doubt thats exactly the same rational that the tabloids are using.
Its interesting when Hodgson uses the word 'profile'... Does that mean he is after someone more established? or a cheap youngster..

He explained simply that he wants someone who can do some of what Torres can do. A goalscorer rather than a creater.
