Brendan Rodgers says he is confident the club will sign one or two more players before the transfer window shuts The Reds are reported to be in talks with Anzhi Makhachkala’s Brazilian midfielder Willian, who is valued at £30m by the Russian club. Although Rodgers refused to comment on any specific targets, the Liverpool manager did admit he wants to strengthen further. “We’re confident of having one or two in before the window shuts, but there are no names, just speculation,” Rodgers said after the Reds were 1-0 winners against Stoke City. Rodgers heaped praise on his summer signings Iago Aspas, Simon Mignolet and Kolo Touré after the trio impressed in the 1-0 victory over the Potters at Anfield. “Kolo introduced himself to the crowd when he jumped about seven foot five in the first couple of minutes of the game – it was a wonderful leap and I think you could see his energy and enthusiasm,” added Rodgers. “When we lost Jamie Carragher last year, we were losing real experience – but Kolo comes in and offers that. He was excellent. “Mignolet was very good and Iago Aspas is a real bright and clever player. In and around the edge of the box, he wants to shoot, he wants to combine with people and that’s something that’s important for us. I thought for 70 minutes he was excellent. “Tactically he understands the game and what we’re trying to do here. All across the board, it was very good.”
