Gerrard: Liverpool must buy

Football Transfer Centre

Steven Gerrard has told his club's owners that Liverpool must buy in the summer if they are to keep up the momentum on the top three in the Premiership.

Gerrard pointed out that the signings of Ryan Babel and Martin Skrtel were evidence of a successful transfer policy.

"We always say this every year but it will be an important summer because we need to keep the momentum," he said.

"The manager's signings will be important as they always are. I have been lucky as a footballer and I've won more things than most players, but I am greedy because I always want more.

"I want to win as many trophies as I can with Liverpool. That is why the summer is important.

"We are a young team with a lot of promise and if the manager can get the right support then we could take an important step forward.

"We are disappointed we did not maintain a challenge in the league for longer than we did. The points gap between us and the top two is not particularly pleasant viewing for anyone here at Anfield.

"The boss is on record as saying he wants some players and if we get some of the ones he wants, and if they can have the same impact that guys like Fernando Torres, Martin Skrtel and Ryan Babel have had.

"Their performances this season have seen us take a step forward. But I think there is a hell of a lot more to come from us."
