Hodgson has stressed that he will keep his focus on domestic players this summer.

"We would be foolish not to be aware of the importance of homegrown players with the way UEFA and Premier League rules are going," he said on the club's official website. "Otherwise we're going to struggle to get our squad numbers together.

"I think the club have been trying to do that already with younger players like Jonjo Shelvey and Raheem Sterling but it takes time for them to come through so we might have to go into the transfer market."

He added: "We have furnished the World Cup with more players than any other team but, looking at the squad at Melwood (Liverpool's training ground), it did seem very small in terms of seniors."


While I can appreciate the fact we need a couple of English players right now I'd rather see money from the likes of Masch spent on decent foreigners. There really aren't any Brits out there...
