Do you think i would even argue with you if we were buying real young talent? I dont think the young players we've bought are talented enough to challenge our first team players, or be the game changers we need for some seasons to come, and as for adding squad depth do we just sell the players we have coming through the from the reserves?
you do not believe the players we have bought are real talent? or talented enough to challenge for a first team place?
ok, leave aside the transfer fee and individual opinions of the players......we have bought so far under comolli and dalglish: -
luis suarez - age 24....not a youngster but with most of his career ahead of him, uruguay international, 16 goals in 39 internationals
andy carroll - age 22....2 england caps, 1 goal, 13 pl goals in 35 appearances
conor thomas - age 17, loan, under 17 england international
jordan henderson - age 21, 1 england cap, 70pl appearances and 4 goals
ryan mclaughlin - age 16
alex o'hanlon - age 15
lloyd jones - age 15
take out the 4 who are clearly marked for the academy, we have bought 3 players who all have international recognition...now regardless of whether each would be picked regularly for the national side, clearly they are rated by club and international managers and will compete for first team places now and for years to come
too many in here want an excuse to slate the player......if you do not rate henderson, just say so, do not hide behind the fee - the club want him and pay accordingly, there isn't a shelf with players you can choose from like safeway or tesco, do not go on about the transfer policy like you know exactly what the club plans to do or what their plans are for the reserves and youth players, particularly as we are seeing youth players get opportunities to prove themselves and hold a place in the team
