Firstly to ed01 I enjoy reading your posts earlier on can. And how a weakness on one place of the pitch can leave other areas open and stretched. Have read that illori has refused a loan and has been promised he will be given a chance to impress in pre season friendlies, not sure if there is any truth to it. Same for can he has been assured he will get playing time in the midfield. Seen origi has been linked with a loan move all ready, and he been knocked a few times in posts. Shame as he has not even kicked a ball for us. Have never watched the lad play, but let's hope he does well. We are getting linked with so many players now its getting crazy. Thanks to all the eds on your hard work. Seems the only place where logic is talked regarding the club

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate, Origi should get a chance in preseason as well. Hopefully he turns out to be closer to Rodgers' proclamations about him than he is being given credit for. I have not seen much of him either, just the World Cup games, so I have no idea if he is good, bad or indifferent.}

I had heard some good things about him. But then season just gone was not good for him. His mind could be elsewhere perhaps regarding his move. Only time will tell

I think some of the criticism he received was a bit too much. Being a part of the Worst XI for ligue 1 last season despite scoring 8 goals, which is decent for a young striker (he only just turned 20 a couple of months ago).

With Origi and last season and being in then worst XI stuff, think we've got to remember he already knew he was moving on. Although pros should give 100% no matter what, as he knew he already had a dream move in place, must be a distraction at best and at worst maybe he took it slightly easy last season, let's see how he does in preseason.

Another distraction was the abuse he took from his own fans which was pretty strong all season. let's just wait and give the lad a chance (and perhaps a bit of support???)
