With Sterling most likely going to leave it just worries me that are we just becoming a intermediary club for players to move on to better things. Its happened in the past and seems like it will continue to happen. The only way we can stop this is if we continue to challenge for the title and play in the champs league. If we don't then will always lose great prospects.
Ibe seems good and if he does progress than maybe he will do a Sterling and want to leave. I think coutinho will do the same aswel.

Tony Barrett or someone made the point in a recent article that teams like Chelsea, City and even Madrid regularly send scouts to our games to see if there is anyone worth buying. No matter what we as fans or even FSG as owners think, out there in the footballing world we are now seen as a selling club.
Mind you you can't really blame clubs for thinking that, over the last 6-7 years we have sold Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Suarez and now probably Sterling which means we are leaking star names at an average of nearly one a year, and whatever we think of Sterling wether we like it or not he is perceived to be the jewel in our crown so to the outside world him going is a further blow to our prestige.
The only way to arrest this slide is for FSG to make a statement in the transfer window, instead of just adding fuel to the fire by buying the likes of Milner and Ings they need to bring in 3 or 4 players that will excite the fan base and send a message out to the footballing fraternity that we are here to compete and not make up the numbers

Delighted to see that instead of going off on hols he has taken up some extra training sessions at the academy to work on his finishing. Alex Inglethorpe said Ibe asked could he take on extra sessions. In the end Dalglish  showed up togged out and gave a session to Jordan and a few under 16 lads.

Ibe seems very level headed and determined to succeed. Most lads his age would be on a beach drowning in honeys at this stage.
Hopefully he won't be sent out on loan again.

I think this lad has the potential to be better than Stirling. He is more powerful, just as quick and seems to be a better crosser of the ball.

Ibe hasn't convinced me yet though I know that isn't a populist view.

See how he goes next season and hes time on his side of course.

With the Limited time Ibe has had he has done well imo

Looks hungry and for defo looks more commited to the club then Sterling saying that 3 years ago when Sterling got his debut for Liverpool he probably couldnt believe his luck

Uh Oh, now a scan on an injured muscle for Jordan 

The Echo are breaking the news now, you can read the full article here... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/fo ... d-10417701

Just bruising and will be back for City match

OMG!!

He also has a hamstring injury and is out until February, WTF is going on

Wow this is shocking to say the least. Something is not right here.

It's getting ridiculous now.

Far out.

Looks like Klopp's new training regime is taking it's tool.
