Thanks, and Whisper it quietly but I’ve just set my hype meter to 11.  Love the family connection
"Wales youth international Beck, who is the great nephew of Liverpool icon Ian Rush".  Great nephew?!  It was bad enough seeing Enrico Chiesa's son at the Euros, but now I feel really old.

It's good that we've given him a long contract as it was frustrating to see the other potential youth team successors to Robbo get itchy feet and turn down contract extensions.

Marty Musialowski has not been in any training pics or video since before the Mainz match.  Hope it’s not serious.

Very odd why this has occurred.  How good was he?

what type of player is Jake Cain? he seems to be have been training with the first team for a while now, what's his best position and who would be a good comparison in terms of playing style/attributes?

Not sure if we'd loan both of them, but I'd like to see one of Cain or Clarkson go out and get a season of first-team football. There was some talk of Blackburn being interested in taking Clarkson on loan at the start of the summer but nothing has come of that as of yet, but with Morton developing well and Balagizi and Corness possibly making the step up from the U18s, it would be good for at least one of them to kick on from U23 football and get an opportunity in the EFL if possible.

Ethan Ennis has joined the red mancs. How highly rated was he in the academy? Seems like Chelsea were after him as well.

Rated high enough for us to want to.keep.him, not as much as some u16s who we've made sure get u18 game time last or in previous seasons.

That's what I meant, he got some time, but not as much as Mabaya, Gordon when he arrived, Balagizi Jones from memory in recent years. Some of that might have been tied to not agreeing to his scholarship though

Feel free to move this to a 2021/22 Loan Watch thread, if there is one…

Paul Glatzel played 80 mins for Tranmere in a first team friendly with Burnley today.

He got a few mentions in the Twitter feed for his contributions and a “well done for a good shift” comment when subbed. Burnley won 2-1 with lots of PL regulars in the starting 11.

Some of the youngsters are supposed to have returned home as the 3 Brazilians are the latest to join the squad in Evian, and the squad needs to shrink in size.  But from the training photos it looks like Beck and Kaide Gordon are still there

It's good to see. Hopefully they continue to get minutes as well over players who are still there just because they're senior players but have no real future here. Important to keep showing academy players there's a possible path and chances for them

Would have to think talk Bradley being seen as the backup for TAA with Neco looking to leave this summer is wide of the mark given that he wasn't kept on. Great to see Gordon kept with the 1st team. Deserved for his form last season. He looks a gem. Such a shame Balagizi was injured for his. It would have been very interesting to see him in games where his size wasn't a massive advantage.

Although Woodburn also kept on.

Maybe him and Neco in the shop window?

Whenever Woodburn is back he's kind of treat like a senior player same as Wilson or Grujic were for example, nearly always training with the first team, going on tours/preseason. Maybe make a match day squad if it's a League cup game or first team numbers are really low. Neco will be the same.

No.  No where near the bench as a serious option.  Gordon could be given some minutes as a reward if he continues to train with the firsts after pre-season, but he is untried at senior level and would not be an option to start a PL if we had a striker injured, or when Salah and Mane disappear on African cup duties.  Leyton Stewart is as good as we have had for a long time that had come through our academy properly.  But he’s is still out with ACL injury I think it was.  His recovery will be very slow and as far as I know, he has not had extensive training periods with the firsts, and is also untested at that level.

Really disappointed that there are no highlights, even after editing, from the academy pre-season.  Sure the pressure should be off as they try out things they are being drilled on in training but we normally get to see some of it.  I could understand it more for the U18s if they are playing more u16s.  On this, the report on the LfC site about the friendly against Plymouth mentioned a Woltman treble, and goals from bajcetic and Corness, but seemingly didn’t mention the scorer of the 6th.  That’s all understandable.  But what about the U23s?  Not great

Get it's preseason but seems like a few who aren't actually eligible for the u18s this season in that side :D

Guessing part is just there's so many in the u23s who need minutes/moving on at the moment

He's already contributed to more trophies with Liverpool than Coutinho did in 5 years here, and he's not even played for the first team yet.

Seems like another Gordon-esque coup on our part. Plays like a right footed Kaide actually, in that he’s wide left/9/10.

When do they get Gordon hitting the weights hard? Wait to see how much he naturally fills out? Looking at him on a football pitch a bit more heft is all he’s missing.

Never. He'll be on a periodised strength and conditioning programme like the one he'll have been on since he started academy football. Footballers never hit the weights hard.
