Hi Ed001, just curious; out of our current crop of 'most promising youth' such as Ejaria, Ojo, Woodburn, Wilson, grujic, TAA etc, which if any do you think are the most promising?

Personally I still feel as if Sheyi Ojo is the one to watch. But I'd love to hear your opinion.

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - TAA, I remain unconvinced by Ojo, clearly has skill but seems to be struggling to grow into his body and it is affecting his touch and timing badly. He might never lose that awkwardness or he could become a star, but Ojo has a lot to prove to me. TAA, on the other hand, looks comfortable and mature.}

I was going to ask last night about Ejaria actually.
Only seen his cameo and league cup appearances.
Do you know the clubs thoughts on him?
Am I right in thinking that before Klopp came in, he wasn't thought of as a potential first team player?

{Ed001's Note - he impressed in preseason but he picked up an injury that has ruled him out recently or he would have got more games. He is very much liked by the coaching staff.}

Thanks ed.
Give me a choice between a £50 million signing or a youngster coming through the academy and I would pick the latter every day of the week.

{Ed001's Note - same here. Both have a place but it is so satisfying to produce a talent rather than buy it. Though I am never sure which camp players like Ejaria fit in. He was brought in from another academy after all.}

I think the satisfaction with Ejaria lies in the fact he was released by Arsenal, and we made/ will hopefully make him a first team player.
A bita of a middle finger to them, if you like 😊.

{Ed001's Note - good point.}

Woodburn if handled properly looks a class act.


But then I thought Jack Dunn was a class acta few years ago, just shows you what injuries can derail a lads development.

Pedro Chirivella looks like he can be a good one i think, dutch league isn't the best, but he is looking good the matches i've seen him play there. Very smart player for his age.
