How bad is Liverpool when Morton is starting for them?

Can't yet see anything online about what sort of team our U21s are putting out, although former Rovers U21 Charlie Weston starting for Curzon this afternoon. He did look solid if unspectacular at U21 level for us, but does not seem to have been fancied by either Barrow or Rochdale, and is now in the 6th tier

You don’t want to be reliant, but you can’t fill your squad with loanees and old players just in case. its a risk and you never know if they really are up to it unless given a chance. How many times hasnt players really found there place and stood out because of injuries on the first XI.

He is actually a CM tbf. As in that’s his natural position.

I suppose we'll find out.

aye and the rest that don`t meet the grade are discarded like an empty pizza box,there should have some after care for those that don`t make it,get them learning a trade or get them a coaching badge,i know a lot of the young players establish themselves in the lower leagues but there are always a lot that just drift out of the game and don`t have anything they can turn to

It's nothing to a club like Chelsea. Sure I heard the other day they've spent something like 2 billion in the last few years!. If they signed 20 kids like this it would still be a drop in the ocean, and if one turns into a superstar it's an absolute bargain.

13 I believe. But still.

i find it a bit disturbing and foolish thats clubs are paying that much money for a 12 yr old,who knows how he`ll turn out once he discovers girls,lager and other distractions🙂

If dragging it down is challenging another posters views then I think everybody is doing it one way or another so again please just scroll on past.

Amended my initial post, I was referring purely to Finnerans coimpo You are right on Telalovic, about £300K apparently

Could we see the picture please. The players are coming home today so wouldnt make much sense. Boro might come into some money soon though with Hackney and Van Den Berg strongly linked away.

Positive the Samir transfer netted us a few hundred k

Seen a picture in another group of what looks like Brittain heading home early from Spain. Rumours of Rudy left similar time as well. Is he on the move or is he extending his contract. I know some players travel back separately after games but after a tour I’m not so sure

Wherever that is due, it will be at most £100K up front, the vast majority will be future fees, add ons, sell ons etc

Not sure if it’s been payed up yet but could add Finneran compo and Talalovic sell on clause to funds brought in

An amazing episode of television as well

Camden Schaper

Seems odd we can get a decentish fee for a 12 year old kid but only minimal compensation for a 17 year old who's been through the Academy.

How can he be "clearly better" than he showed last season? He's probably exactly as good as he showed last season. I.e. not very.

The 12 year old south African kid

who`s been sold to chelsea,please enlighten me

He's left so it's no biggie now of course.

But equally, you dont want to be too reliant on them to the point where a couple of injuries in certain positions and they are all needed together. We dont know how ready they are in terms of a footballing perspective of being able to play Championship football but moreso how they could cope physically if needed to play consecutive games. Also, if we bank on more than a couple coming through at once, its unrealistic. They wont all be ready at the same time.
