Rick Parry has today defended Liverpool over remarks made by Middlebrough chairman, Steve Gibson, that Liverpool import too many foreigners. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live he said:


"From our perspective, our target is winning trophies.

"Our supporters care about Liverpool first and England second and our job and focus is to bring glory to Liverpool.

"But at the same time we have invested as much, if not more, than just about any other club on our academy.

"We are still committed to the process. We will still continue to do our thing to develop young English players, we are very committed to that but the balance for us has to be winning things first."
