Speaking after his side's 3-0 win over Sunderland, the Reds boss also explained how he did not expect any imminent signings following Wednesday's capture of Daniel Sturridge.

He said: "There is nothing in the pipeline. It was never going to be a busy month for us and there are not too many players available who could come in and help and improve what we're doing.

"We're not going to spend money needlessly but there is no doubt over the coming months we need to strengthen the squad.

"That will come with time."

On Cole, Rodgers added: "I spoke to Joe twice earlier. He's in talks with West Ham and West Ham have obviously been in contact with the club.

"That was earlier on today so I don't know how that materialised. We'll see if something happens on that."

Meanwhile, QPR boss Harry Redknapp revealed that he too had enquired about Joe Cole but that a deal to Loftus Road was now unlikely.

if joe is going then i think there is room for a top player to be brought in as 90000 a week which we pay him could be spent on someone of real quality
