WHAT THEY SAID

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers on Arsene Wenger and managerial pressure: “He has been an iconic figure for football, he has been amazing."

“You get criticised when you don’t win games but some of the personal stuff he takes is disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.

“He fell over in a train station and they were videoing it, taking pictures of him, and then people print it. What happened to him the other week at West Brom was absolutely disgraceful, as a leading figure in football, a real statesman of the game, it was really poor. But that is the modern world, unfortunately. Six or seven months ago, I was the manager of the year. I was going to be this and that and tactically I was this and that. But because we lost two world-class players [Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge] – one out of the club, one injured – I am useless.”

Arsene Wenger on the transfer window: "I've said that many times, without any doubt: if we find the right player we will do (a deal).

"There's a huge difference between the perception that people have of me: I'm not scared to spend money.

"It was periods where we had not the money. What I don't like is to spend the money I haven't got.

"What I fought against is to spend money that would put the future of the club in danger.

"Now I have money. No problem at all."
