Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is delighted by the signings of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez but has revealed that the owners were a “bit disappointed” not to get more players in during the January transfer window:

“It’s great credit to Damien Comolli that he did so well going out and getting those two lads and dealing with Ajax and especially Newcastle because it was so late in the day in the transfer window. It shows he’s done a great job and reiterates what we said before about the ambition and support of the new owners. It just shows their desire to move the club forward. They said when they came in they wanted to take the club back to where it should be. This was their first opportunity to show that. They are actually a bit disappointed we didn’t get more players in. That’s a good thing.”

Dalglish also spoke of his disappointment at the departure of striker Fernando Torres to Chelsea:

“Everybody was disappointed he left the club. What was most disappointing was the timing of it. But we’ll move on with our life. The football club will always be here. We won’t. We’ll never ever put one person ahead of this football club. The football club and the owners did everything they possibly could. But it wasn’t to be. He moved on and is playing for someone else now. That’s something we’ll live with.”
