enitez to revamp Liverpool squad

Benitez wants Liverpool to challenge for the Premiership title
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is preparing to make wholesale changes to the Reds squad - even if they win the Champions League final on Wednesday.
Benitez is targeting a second European Cup in three seasons with victory over AC Milan in Athens' Olympic Stadium.
"The final has to be just a stopping point on the way," said Benitez.
"We can improve and the team must be pro-active. We can improve by bringing in players with character and quality. We need to keep going forward."
After winning the Champions League two years ago, Benitez got rid of Vladimir Smicer, Igor Biscan and Milan Baros, while penalty hero Jerzy Dudek has been sidelined by the arrival of Jose Reina and is set to leave the club with striker Robbie Fowler this summer.
The aim is not just to win the European Cup, we want to make a better challenge in the Premiership

The Spaniard says he wants Liverpool to challenge for the Premiership title and is set to be handed a big transfer fund by American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
"A second Champions League final in three seasons shows what can be done but we want to achieve even more," added Benitez.
"This is going to be an important summer because we want to maintain our progress and keep going forward next season.
"Another European Cup would be very welcome but the aim is not just to win this trophy, it is to be stronger all round, so we can make a better challenge for the Premiership next season.
"I am happy with my players but we need to improve to challenge in the Premiership.
"It is important not to think that by getting to the final we have done everything because we have the potential to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe in every way.
"We are already one of the most famous names in football but we have the chance to take advantage of our position.
"The new owners have already seen what is possible here. Every time we have spoken, it has been positive, and we will talk again after the final."
Owner Hicks, meanwhile, says he and Gillett will support Benitez in the transfer market.
Liverpool have recently been linked with moves for Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o and Athletico Madrid's Fernando Torres, along with a host of other players.
