Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says his players have his full confidence despite an inconsistent season.
Liverpool are not expected to splash the cash in the transfer market – even if they qualify for the Champions League.
Klopp insists he still believes in the players who have served him so well.
Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are all expected to spend big, while he admits he will have no excuses next season if he can keep his squad healthy.
Klopp said: “Whatever we do or not do in the next transfer window, we will not use it as any kind of excuse. We did what we did in the past. When there was money we spent it and when there was no money we didn't spend it.
“I am happy with my squad, very, very happy. Could this squad still improve? Yes, like each squad could.
“It that affordable? I don't know. Is that necessary? I don't know.
“There is a moment in pre-season when I hope we will have a team together that will go through the season and we are able to be a really uncomfortable opponent – that is the most important thing.
“We might not be the best team in the world at the start of the season. But we want to be again the team no one wants to play against – and I think that is possible.
“I really think it is my responsibility to improve the team without signings as well, so the season is not like this when it is not in your hands.
“We have all high-quality players, we have experience, and we have players in the best age and we have youth and that is good.
“Whatever other clubs will be doing is not going to influence my business."
