  1. Shea Lacey

    If this is true then it makes him an even more outstanding prospect than he already is because with extra height he will gain pace and power, both of which I think are the question marks that hang over his long term potential at this age. The injuries could be a worry but we barely saw...

  2. Amir Ibragimov

    I can see why you might think that way but I look at him being one of the youngest in the age group and being very physically competitive as a positive sign. I also think with Shoretire that it wasn't just physical, he couldn't always figure out how to get into a difficult game.

  3. Radek Vítek

    I think the problem with the developmental loan at a higher level is that most clubs willing to give him the starting role will want an option to buy with it.

  4. Radek Vítek

    I think he has a chance here. So does Bayindir. Amorim would be crazy to sleepwalk into next season without contemplating a big decision in goal. Its a much easier decision than the one to replace De Gea. Because Onana has never reached the level De Gea did and he's never looked solid enough for...

  5. Chido Obi

    I think this is the main reason none of the young players are being promoted. It could be extremely damaging for them at the moment. Not only that I think the air of desperation is so strong that anyone that comes in will have the hopes of the entire team on their shoulders. This season is done...

  6. Youth players Amorim might promote

    I don't think anybody gets an elevated chance as a result of the change. I think Obi Martin is the one that might have had a chance regardless because neither Hojlund or Zirkzee are scoring enough and one injury opens up a space. But even in this case I think effort will go towards getting those...

  7. U18s: Liverpool 1-9 United

    Knew id missed one. Henderson more than Johnstone yeah, Pereira went for a decent number too. But other than that I don't think most get close to the numbers they should. We seem to create a dangerous cycle of: No or bad loans > Reduced Stock > Sell while stock is low. Henderson and Johnstone...

  8. U18s: Liverpool 1-9 United

    I hope we get as many of this side through as possible but the ones we don't need to turn into good sales further down the line. We've done an awful job at selling on good talent, I think the highest sale of an academy player in recent times was Sam Johnstone. We've got several who should leave...

  9. Maximillian Oyedele

    I really like Oyedele, he is so athletic and covers distance tremendously. Any manager that likes pressing football is going to have an interest in him.

  10. Miscellaneous Reserve/Youth News

    The reason I put Mather in the dark horse category is firstly because of the developmental impact of being injured but secondly because being a first team player requires an extremely high physical standard, as well as the technical. He could either make it in both respects or fall slightly...

  11. Radek Vítek

    I am not sure Vitek is agile enough against low shots to be a top level goalkeeper from what I have seen so far, whether that can be developed with age I am not sure.

  12. Miscellaneous Reserve/Youth News

    Mather could be an under the radar good talent. He's very good in most areas without being explosively eye catching. His development has been slower since the youth cup win than others but it looks like he's on the right track nevertheless.

  13. Isak Hansen-Aarøen | signs for Werner Bremen

    I think thats quite hard on Shoretire, he's only 6 months older than Hansen and his first team appearances came 2 years ago when he was only just 17. If I recall correctly at least a few of his appearances were 5 minute cameo's in dead games. I'd also say he's another late developer physically...

  14. Isak Hansen-Aarøen | signs for Werner Bremen

    I think Hansen is a late developer physically and he will realise his potential in the 22-24 age range, like Lingard did. The question is whether he has the patience or the club has the patience to keep him that long. I do find the current social media frenzy around him frustrating though...

  15. Alvaro Fernandez (Out)

    This has been a popular view on twitter but Benfica don't always get it right. One of the reasons they do well is because they sign a lot of young players with potential which increases both the hit and miss ratio. Fernandez does have potential to be good for them and beyond but there have...
