Hodgson wants rid of deadwood

LIVERPOOL manager Roy Hodgson has warned players if they have nothing to offer either the current first team or the future of the club then they will be shipped out of Anfield.

The 62-year-old has already cut down on personnel he believes to be surplus to requirements and has not ruled out further exits in the coming months.

Since taking over from predecessor Rafael Benitez, Hodgson has allowed the likes of Alberto Aquilani, Emiliano Insua, Albert Riera, Diego Cavalieri, Philipp Degen, Nabil El Zhar, Krisztian Nemeth and Damien Plessis to leave, either permanently or on loan.
