Rodgers says Pool signings will prove worth

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers denies there is a growing imbalance between what his club can achieve in the transfer window compared to Manchester United.

However, he accepts their arch-rivals were far more successful in securing big-name signings in the summer than he was with his own targets.

United brought in Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria for close to £60 million (€75m), striker Radamel Falcao on loan on reported wages of £265,000-a-week with a £43.5m option to buy at the end of the season, midfielder Ander Herrera (£29m) and left-back Luke Shaw (£27m) and supplemented them with Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind at a combined £30m.
