Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists he is not interested in bringing in “squad players” this window amid rumours that the Anfield club are courting Nigel de Jong and Romulo.

Rodgers told talkSPORT that he would rather give opportunities to some of his youngsters instead of bringing in players who are going to be on the fringe of the first team, per Carl Markham of The Independent:

January is a very difficult market. It is hard to bring in players that can improve the team, especially in this window.

This is a brilliant club and we try to get players in for the now, we need players who can come in now and help us.

I’d rather wait and look at our young players than bring in one or two squad players.

But looking at Liverpool’s first XI, which has been recently ravaged by a host of injuries, players like the aforementioned de Jong and Romulo would solve some major problems that are beginning to surface within this Liverpool squad, particularly in the midfield.
