<p><br /> Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has suggested the club will not be seeking a quick fix by spending heavily in January and will instead focus on a long-term strategy.<br /> </p><p><br /> The Reds boss flatly dismissed speculation linking him with moves for AC Milan's Brazilian Ronaldinho and Ajax captain Luis Suarez.<br /> </p><p><br /> And although he admitted Aston Villa's Ashley Young had been on his radar Hodgson said no talks were taking place between the two clubs.<br /> </p><p><br /> The 63-year-old also denied he was looking to offload defender Glen Johnson next month, stressing the club's owners New England Sports Ventures were trying to build for the future.<br /> </p><p><br /> "Ronaldinho and Suarez are players who we have never even thought about but I would think there is not a manager in the Premier League who has not given Ashley Young a thought at some stage or another," said Hodgson.<br /> </p><p><br /> "But giving a player a thought and thinking 'This is a good player' and signing him are two vastly different things."<br /> </p><p><br /> He added: "I could give you quite a long list of players in the Premier League who I admire and think are very good.<br /> </p><p><br /> "But there is no truth in the rumour. If you are asking if there are any negotiations taking place between Aston Villa and Liverpool, then there aren't."<br /> </p>
