Let us not forget the farcical notion that Gerrard and Carragher would be sold immenintly because Parry leaving means that only Rafael calling the shots will see an all out attept to bring about a foreign legion at Liverpool. If there are local lads who are good enough then they will ALWAYS get through. The thing with football is that the best players are clearly visible to the trained eye, and as such will find themselves moved through any outh system if they are the better players in it.
Sorry but you only have to look at the way Neil mellor was treated by the club.
A lot of our players still feel sick to what happen to Neil mellor, Ex Liverpool Mangers try not to talk about it but when they do they say if all the truth come out then it would be very bad from the club, well the truth did come out and Neil mellor did a bit for Sky and ITV on how he left the club and how he was let down and how SG and JC tried to stop it from going on.
he was a young star that needed help, it make me wonder what would have happend in Rooney had been out our club or a Gazza, we would have booted them out as soon as the put on a stone and then got hurt.
anyway not going to talk abot that anymore as itme off and it was a side of the club i wish to block out.
This thread is not a pick on Rafa thread it about how we all feel if we win the prem with no English or British players and how football today has changed with home grown players, yes it has moved on from that but thats how it started
Neil Mellor ?
The answer to ALL our prayers.
no but it shows that things have been wrong at our club for a very long time when it comes to young English players.
