Everyone raves over the lad but I don't think he's any good personally!

It's just cos he's come through the ranks that people rate him, but personlly I don't think he's good enought for LFC and he non where near as good as Pongolle, Baros, Owen or Cisse

Maybe another person who should be let go!!

I also don't think he's up to our standard's, he'd probably blossom in the 1st Division with a top ten finishing club!

He doesn't do it for me, reactions are slow, seems a bit of a lump .

Yeah, I don't think he's Liverpool class. Probably a first division player or at best he could do a job I supoose for the yo-yo sides e.g. West Ham, West Brom, Leicester etc.....but never a regular first teamer at Anfield.

He was only thrown in a year or two back because we had no choice. Saying that, Houllier was beginning to lose the plot around that time....

As much as we all probably want to see players coming through I dont think he will make the grade.

he wasnt exactly knocking them in from all angles for west ham either, so if he aint good enough for them he definatly aint good enough for us

It must be tough for him though he wants to succeed at Liverpool and scored a shed load of goals in reserves but in reality at the time he was only ever going to play a supportive role to Owen and we know how hard it is to find partners for him dont we. I hope he finds a team like Ipswich Town where he can play and enjoy good football, take his game on another level and maybe some day play in the prem. Lets not feel to sorry for him tho I would love to have his day job even if its just training with the lads. He is young a should have a respectable career ahead of him, unfortunatly I dont think it will be with us.

true- at one stage he scored 10 in 4 games for the reserves but looked off the pace in the prem'ship.

We indeed had the "Mellorphant" as he was known, with us last season. Do yourselves a favour and get rid, he's shocking. We were awful last season and he even stood out above the journeymen we have as being poor.

has he got a long contract with us?
