I read the following on another foum aswell:
You'd think he was part of our youth set-up, not Liverpool's. The lad shows such passion and belief in Saints' search for promotion. Certainly has the potential to be one hell of a player at top level and has admitted to falling for the club.
He bossed the midfield today fighting for the ball, making many tackles and putting the ball about nicely with confidence. Would be a massive disappointment if we can't secure his services beyond this season as he has been such a key player of late. Not sure a sneaky bid would do much good as I can't see 'Pool wanting to release him, but a season long loan for next year would be satisfactory. There was a piece in our matchday programme today with him saying that should things not work out at Liverpool he would love to play football in the red & white as a fully fledged player. A quite mature professional indeed at such an age.. and must add he hit the woodwork twice at Birmingham last weekend.
To be honest, I've seen him in the reserves and seen all the games he's played in the first team this year and he showed alot of promise. He does put himself about and get involved. He seems to be very much in the alonso mould the way he casually spreads the ball about across the midfield.
It may be a shame though because with momo, gerrard, alonso and mascherano now able to play in the middle, it seems another promising youth player may be on his way to another club.
I think it's worth giving him a bit of a chance next season perhaps. I'm sure Rafa has got scouts watching every game. Especially with the new UEFA rule coming into place next season it means that we will need to have at least 3 players that have come through the Liverpool academy.
