Rafa Benitez aims for two new players in transfer window

Dec 30 2007

Reds boss Benitez revealed he may look to bring in ``one or two'' players in January to try to rekindle his side's title challenge.

Today’s point - from the 0-0 draw at Manchester City - leaves Liverpool 10 points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, and it was an ideal opportunity missed to close the gap.

When asked about his transfer dealing next month, the Spaniard - who is rumoured to have limited funds available - revealed afterwards: “We don’t talk about money.

“We have some players, have some targets and we will try to sign the players we need.

“Maybe one, maybe two, if everyone is fit you never know. We are working hard and are very close.”

Benitez had few complaints over his team’s display and was left to rue some gilt-edged opportunities spurned.

“It was a good game, good effort, the team was playing really well and creating chances but today we couldn’t (score),” he said.

“We knew they were playing really well at home, but we had our chances and could have won.

“In the last 15 minutes, we were on top of them. For me, we deserved to win.”
