Kenny Dalglish has taken full responsibility for all of Liverpool s signings during Damien Comolli s time as director of football at Anfield.
Comolli has left Liverpool after a spell of mixed success in the transfer market and on the pitch since his arrival on Merseyside in November 2010, but the manager insists that all of the club s signings during that time have been his own choices.
Dalglish was appointed in January 2011, with Comolli promoted to director of football a short time later in March.

There were talks with Major League Soccer, I am leaning towards a move there. A decision will not be made until after the season.

Odds:
Knowing that victory on Saturday would see them briefly climb to the top of the La Liga standings, Real Madrid will welcome a struggling Espanyol to the Bernabéu on Saturday lunchtime.
Starting with the hosts, while they may not have been at their best last weekend, Real Madrid s 2-1 win away at Alaves has seen Los Blancos extend on what has been an eye-catching run of form. Led by La Liga leading marksman Karim Benzema who has now bagged seven goals in his last five appearances, the former champions are enjoying an eight-match unbeaten run that stems back to the start of October.

The Blues were under pressure for much of the first half and lost midfield enforcer N Golo Kante to a muscle injury after 10 minutes, making the France international a doubt for their Europa League semi-final, second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
The recalled Eden Hazard assisted goals for Kante s replacement Loftus-Cheek and David Luiz in the space of three second-half minutes, before Gonzalo Higuain rounded…

McDermott was facing an uncertain future at Elland Road after controversial businessman Massimo Cellino seized control in January.
Cellino confirmed the news in a statement published on the club s website: Brian is a great manager and a great guy. He has been unfortunate to work in such difficult circumstances.
I did not fully understand the mess he had to work in, and the broken promises he had to deal with, until I have got involved trying to turn Leeds around.

Raphael Varane will be able to show his best this season, says Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, who adds that the Frenchman s fitness will be a huge boost .
The veteran centre-back arrived at Old Trafford last term to partner Harry Maguire, but a run of injuries saw him muster just 22 league games in all, robbing United of some much-needed stability at the back.
While England international Maguire often shouldered much of the ire, supporters were also left frustrated by Varane s fitness issues, and wondered what role he would play this term under new management, particularly with the arrival of Lisandro Martinez.
But Ten Hag believes having the World Cup winner at full fitness will only aid his squad, adding that he constructed a specialised pre-season train…
