Liverpool frontman Fernando Torres has spoken of his frustration at the Reds’ inability to challenge for the Premier League title this season.
The Spain striker has admitted the club needs new players in the January transfer window, but he is well aware that funds are not available at Anfield with the club in debt to the tune of around ВЈ240million.
Liverpool have already been eliminated from the Champions League and sit in eighth place in the top flight – a huge 14 points behind leaders Chelsea.
Torres, who has been a massive hit since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2007, has voiced his disapproval and there will undoubtedly be speculation surrounding the player when the January transfer window opens.
Manchester City were rumoured to have made an enquiry for Torres last January, and Europe’s elite could well be circling next month.
Torres said: “Obviously we need players. If we can bring quality players it should be really positive for us, but I think the situation is really difficult because I think we don’t have money to bring in the best players.
“It’s a difficult situation but every top team in the world goes sometimes through a bad situation like Liverpool now.
Like every top team in the world, Liverpool will get over the situation.
“I have confidence in myself and my team. I know we are good enough. We were playing really well last season with the same team. We have to just recover the mentality and the confidence in ourselves and everything will be different.”
