thing is mate we have already have so called youngsters who we can get easily that out of. the likes of spearing in midfield,he has been bought up the 'Liverpool way' pass an move etc, an if he isn't given a chance in the first team on a regular basis,then he will become un-motivateed however good his potential talent maybe.
yes i agree that to win major trophies, you need the best players,especially in the game today but to say another young player from wherever will make any difference because they are young is a wrong assumption for me. the prime example-Ryan babel,young full of promise,full of expectation etc etc an for me has failed to deliver in all aspects of what takes to play for LFC.
the saying 'if your good enough,your old enough' doesn't always apply for me,it's a mif! -what's good enough is attitude,capability,an desire to keep on going when critics put you down,prove them wrong etc. for me alot of ressy players are on the fringe if not challenging for a first team place,i'm so glad Raffa has given alot of the young ressy playes a chance in pre-season. as it shows that whowever may come into our sqauad young or old in footballing terms they will an have to fight for their place.
alonso's departure as much as it hurts,i only think that signing an experienced player will encourage the younger players we already have into making a statement that we don't need anymore younger players- any player we sign had better play out of his skin week in week out if he doesn't want to loose his plce to a real hungry ressy player,who is more than capable of doing so,through attitiude,commitment an desire.
this cenario is so good for our future,i for one endorse it everytime.
