Babel et Ngog on est tous d'accord n'arrivent pas à remplir la fonction quand Torres n'est pas là. Ne parlons pas quand Torres n'est pas en forme (75% des matchs de la saison dernière...) Donc un bon remplacement pour Torres n'arrive pas au moins avant janvier...

Je ne comprends pas notre marché de transferts sur ce coup-là.

Je trouve que notre mercato était plutôt réussi, sauf dans ce secteur...

Pour moi le mercato aurait été parfait si on avait gardé Aquilani. On a perdu un bon remplaçant voir titulaire... et je trouve que ça fait tache.

Hodgson: No striker regrets

Roy Hodgson today insisted he has no regrets about not signing a striker in the transfer window - and spoke of his belief that Liverpool have more than enough firepower up front to see us through until January.

The Anfield boss admitted during the summer that he was searching for another striker - but always maintained that a deal would only be done if it was for the right player at the right price.

Those conditions were not met, and after being grilled by journalists at his weekly press conference on Friday, Hodgson said: "I don't think there was a great choice in terms of centre-forwards out there for any of the teams.

"We didn't see much movement in terms of strikers between the Premier League clubs.

"There's a lot of clubs chasing a particular type of player. Maybe that player at the moment doesn't exist.

"And the money we needed to sign a player of that quality came to the club very late anyway. It was only after the sale of Mascherano that I would have had the money available to do a transfer at a high enough level.

"So there's two things. One, the shortage of time would have bothered me and I would have been concerned that we were jumping into something without researching it fully. And two, I didn't see the players out there that really excited me.

"I preferred to put my weight behind David Ngog and Ryan Babel, who's never really been given a proper chance at centre-forward at the club.

"We have Fernando Torres, we have good players who can play behind a lone striker. I'm hoping that between now and Christmas we'll have ample quality to see us through that period.

"And in the meantime we have chance to do thorough scouting so that if the money is available, we could look into the situation again.

"I will be using David Ngog and Ryan Babel in certain games to give Fernando Torres a rest and it's up to them to prove to me that there's no need to look further than them.

"They will get chances and we'll see if they take them."

Meanwhile, Hodgson was quizzed on whether Torres was fit enough to play three games in a week.

He said: "He's as capable as anyone else is. But how fair is it to ask any football player to play three highly competitive matches in seven days on a regular basis?

"The thing about Fernando Torres is that he went to the World Cup with an injury, played throughout with an injury, and we are anxious now to make sure he is fully fit this season.

"When fully fit he's as capable as any player of playing three games in seven days, but I'm sincerely hoping with the size of our squad that I won't have to (ask him to do that all the time) because if that's what happens then I'll lose players, which is what happened to me at Fulham. "
