West Ham boss Sam Allardyce says he does not expect the club to make any more signings between now and the close of the transfer window.

In a retraction of his previous statement, Brendan Rodgers has ruled out sending Liverpool starlet Raheem Sterling on loan having been impressed with his early season form.

‘I’ll give the kids a chance’ claims Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers as he places huge emphasis on giving the youth first-team experience in his bid to get the club fighting for major honours in the future. Rodgers told reporters ‘This might be a good opportunity for them. Because we don’t have the money that some of our rivals have, I want to make the philosophy through the club that allows us to bring players from the academy into the first team. We want to develop what this club has had for many years and develop top young players.’
Aston Villa will rival Everton for the £5 million acquisition of Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam who has been told that he has no future at Anfield. Everton have been long-temrm admirers of the Scotland international but Villa manager Paul Lambert is desperate to add some creativity to his squad before Friday’s deadline. However, Adam is on £60,00-a-week which will stretch the prospective clubs’ transfer policies, whilst he also demands a £2 million loyalty payment from Liverpool which could prove another stumbling block in any deal.
