A friend as told me Liverpool are looking at a Croatian kid Bradaric as a replacement for Moreno. I have read that Barcalona and Ajax are interested in him, but can't see any interest from us.
My friend does give some good info at times and he says we have scouted him on a few occasions this yr.
I suppose he will end up at Barcalona, but we are very much after cover for Robertson.

{Ed002's Note - He won't end up in Barcelona.}

I’m really hoping that we give the opportunity to one of our youth players.

If we do i think Larouci is quickly catching up on Lewis. doesn't have Lewis's delivery but is better defensively, quicker and more Athletic.

Agreed Little Naby. Larruci has impressed me everytime I've watched him this season. Especially in new role. He is quick, strong, and very direct. If he can keep improving he could be a really good player.

From the little I've seen of Larouci he looks a good player, started as a winger I believe, and can't really comment on his defensive play, but has good link up play and gets in good positions going forward, is he well regarded within the club does anyone know?

Hard to tell, he only went to leftback this season. Up till then he was just on the fringes really but he's been Liverpools best player in the few games i've caught them this year so i'd say Klopps staff are taking notice.

{Ed002's Note - If Liverpool were to look at a player like this it would mean Adam Lewis would have to consider moving on.}

He is very well regarded by the club and is one of the standouts along side Duncan, Williams and Glatzel.

He may have to Ed 002 because this kid is making serious ground up on Lewis. competition is good for them at that age anyway, they should be striving away everyday to be the best of the young players.

{Ed002's Note - That is a very naive view about the reality of it all. The reaon Liverpool may well lose the likes of Adekanye, Kent, possibly Wilson, Ojo etc. is because they cannot see chances at Liverpool.}

Because they’re clearly not good enough for the level we are at the moment. Could you see any of them names getting a chance at City? You have to be seriously good to even make the match squad as a youngster. If your not good enough move them on.

Im not saying go out and buy a £30-40m back up to Robertson. im saying let the two best young leftbacks in the club push each other on and fight for that position in the squad. If a young player at an elite club like Liverpool doesn't realise that THE VERY LEAST he has to be is the best young player in his position at the club well then he doesn't belong here.

Liverpool aren't losing Ojo, Kent and Adekanye. they simply aren't good enough.

11.) 28 Apr 2019

Maybe we should loan them out for another 5 years till we have 80 players out on loan? If they were good enough they'd get their chance and whilst eventually they might be for now they aren't close enough to consider playing them, losing them is no lose to LFC as they aren't even squad players and wouldn't even need replacing. We have 10 Ryan Kents in the making what we need is the next sterling or trent those that are on the level above Kent, adekanye, ojo etc.

{Ed002's Note - And Wilson?}

Look Ed 002 is simply wrong on this one. if Klopp thinks a youth player is the better option than signing a player then he'll go with the youth player. Liverpool is probably the best club out off all the top clubs in England for leaving a pathway for top young youths to come through. For example i don't think we'll sign a back up to trent i think Jana Hoever will get an opportunity with Gomez also able to cover. To say Lewis would have to move on if Liverpool also considered giving Larouci a chance is crazy. Its Hardly putting Chilwell in his way is it.

I think Wilson is at his level too Ed he's a very good free kick taker who's not developed physically in a way that could make him a viable option in the Premier league. He's not suited to our style of play either he still can't be trusted defensively or in transitions and he's not good enough dribbling or in positioning of his body to protect the ball in a way that similarly small players do. I would happily sell for £20m or happily loan him out to see if he can learn these things if suggest he needs to go to a very good coach eg not a lampard or gerrard but perhaps a hodgeson or rodgers could bring something extra out of him in a league that would give him a chance to prove his ability. What do you think specifically on Wilson Ed?

{Ed002's Note - He has no future at Liverpool.}

Ed002, not sure if you realise larouchi is already a Liverpool player. It would be great to see Lewis get a shot but if larouchi is the better option then he surely gets the nod. I have no idea who the better player is but it would be great for one of them to promote from within.

{Ed002's Note - The post was about Bradaric.}

Fair enough, I thought it had moved on to larouchi fighting Lewis for that back up spot in the first team.

We are heading into territory where we competing with the probably the most expensive clubs ever assembled in the Premier League.
Yes, youngsters must be given ca chance but in the Carabao Cup, FA cup and the like. Not League and Champs League, unless 1st and 2nd choice are injured in whatever position.
I watched the under 18's FA Cup final and the boys are good but they haven't caused Critchley to move them up to under 23 yet because they are just not there yet. How on earth will they compete with the senior squad?
Im of the opinion that we need competitive back up for the positions we are lacking in.
Please explain id Moreno is on his way, and if Adam Lewis is so good, why is he not on the bench?
This time around, with owners who back the Klopp (liar or not), we need to invest in proper players because i keep hearing how good Trent is for example and yet his our weakest defender. Yeah he has a lot of assists because he attacks well and has improved but his not going to turn into Steve Finnan or Rob Nicol. I agree his young but his had a full 2 seasons in that RB role and when we play Sane and Neymar and the like, i get worried.
Not saying we need marque signings and youth is a big no especially with where we are heading as a team but we need proper investment.

Name me a rightback in the world we could buy who you wouldn't worry about going up against Sanè and Neymar. Trents only 20 and he's already put manners on the two of them.

{Ed001's Note - Wan-Bissaka. He is the best one-on-one defender in the modern game.}

18.) 29 Apr 2019

I agree he's good Ed, but whether he's a dickhead or not the fact is Neymar is going to go past any rightfull at least a couple of times a game, as would Sanè. People should look at what Trent does brilliantly instead of highlighting the faults. As he matures the defensive side of his game will improve.

{Ed001's Note - you are completely missing the point. All his faults are the things needed at fullback. All the things he does brilliantly would be more useful in midfield. As for what Neymar and Sane do, I am not getting into that as you're analysis is far too simplistic to make it worthwhile discussing.}

Seen wilson a few times at Derby this season and trust me he has no chance of getting close to the first team at Liverpool, a few good long range efforts mask a very average player in my opinion.
