Dalglish not ruling out bids

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will not ignore any 'attractive' opportunities in the transfer window as he bids to help his club out of trouble.

Having returned to the dugout for Sunday's FA Cup defeat at Manchester United, the Anfield legend is now preparing his inherited 12th-placed side for Wednesday's Premier League trip to Blackpool.

Roy Hodgson-successor Dalglish will also be considering possible reinforcements for an underachieving squad and reports continue to link the club with Stoke's Ryan Shawcross.

Utrecht striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel has also been rumoured as a possible target and Liverpool's manager until the end of the season has not ruled out making signings during the transfer window.

Dalglish told Liverpool's official website when asked about potential business: "The most important people for us are the people that are here. We are going to concentrate on them and everyone will be given an opportunity.
