Rafa: The buying starts now

Rafa: The buying starts now

Rafael Benitez has dismissed any potential problems Liverpool will have in the transfer market next season.

Benitez is confident shortlisted players will still be interested in joining the Anfield outfit despite the high-profile exit of Robbie Keane.

The Republic of Ireland star was nudged out of the club after just 28 games for the club amid reports that he could not break the Fernando Torres-Steven Gerrard combination.

Liverpool are expected to reinforce their attacking options and Benitez feels that the competition for places against Gerrard and Torres will not put players off.

"Everyone knows how good Torres and Gerrard are and they do play very well together," said Benitez.

"But we have 60 games or so a season. That means there are going to be plenty of chances for everyone, so I don't think it would be a problem.

"Obviously it depends on the quality of the players, but I don't think it is going to be a problem. I think we will manage.

"We have been working hard identifying players, it is just a question of signing the right ones, and I am confident we will."
