Many
Premier League managers have grabbed the opportunity to spend the summer
in warmer climes by heading to the World Cup in Brazil and scouting
player ahead of the new season.
But
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has declined to head to the
tournament, preferring instead to hang out with Stormtroopers at a
promotional event.
It
is not known if Rodgers is a fan of the Star Wars films but he will
have plenty of time to watch them while away on Liverpool's pre-season
tour of American which includes friendlies against Roma, Olympiacos,
Manchester City and AC Milan before a game against Borussia Dortmund at
Anfield.

That
should help Liverpool prepare for a return to the Champions League and
Rodgers will also hope to have added some strength in depth to his squad
by then.
Liverpool
have already signed striker Rickie Lambert from Southampton while a
deal for Emre Can to join from Bayer Leverkusen has been agreed subject
to documentation.
And 18-year-old MK Dons wonderkid Dele Alli could be set to follow suit in a transfer worth £3.5 million.
