Boss: We'll have January funds
Brendan Rodgers is confident Liverpool will be in a position to bolster their squad when the January transfer window opens.
The boss is in regular dialogue with the Reds owners and insists the club will have the funds required to strengthen the ranks.
Rodgers told a pre-Newcastle press conference: "We'll have funds. I'm in talks with the owners at the moment along with our recruitment team. We know we need to reinforce the group, so that's something that is ongoing.
"The priority is to get players into the building. Our squad is very small, very thin on the ground, and the players have performed admirably up until now.
"They have been terrific in their mentality considering the games they've been playing.
"At this moment in time, it really is about reinforcing the group rather than looking too much at people going the other way."
Journalists asked Rodgers about the future of Joe Cole after the No.10 had been linked with a move away from Anfield in the New Year.
"I've have good communication with Joe and we speak regularly," said the manager. "He along with the other players are working hard to find their way into the team. Joe is like everyone else."
