Was surprised to see on Twitter he is back in Liverpool, I thought he was gone. Hope he is given a chance pre season and can step it up. He seems to have the talent and if he can realise his potential, we could have a couple of wonderkids on our hands.
Possibly. He's helped by Kuyt's exit and he's somewhat helped by Bellamy's age. Means we need to add players up top in the near future (this and next summer). We're also on the old side with LM/RMs, so there's definitely a door open for someone like Pacheco. If he can hang on for another year, get some games and do alright, things could look very bright for him a year from now.
The concern for him is that we have waited and waited without giving him the chance. Instead we have given other young players a head start. We now have so many young players that it will be next to impossible to integrate all of them in our side. We will have to choose. This is why last season's year long loan was a poor idea. We didn't build on his spell with Norwich. We shipped him out and at least to me it's clear that we wanted him gone. Now, with this large group of young players at the club, it will be so easy to say that Pacheco hasn't shown anything, so he's the one who has to go.
Will be interesting to see what Rodgers chooses to do. I hope we give him a chance. Not saying he's a world beater or a superstar in the making, but I prefer if we let players play before we dismiss them.
