KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Reserve Team and Academy

Hey guys, not from England, so need all your opinions on how our academy is performing? I know our reserve and academy teams are doing well, but who can we look out for in the next few years?

Perhaps, whom should we expect to step up to the plate as 1st team players in the next 5 years?

Some kids that have impressed:

1. Daniel Pacheco
2. Martin Kelly
3. Mikel San Jose (on loan?)4. Daniel Ayala
5. Kristian Nemeth (on loan at AEK Athens)
6. jay Spearaing (Gerrard's successor?)

Seems we have other Hungarian youngsters that are impressive as well?

as well as Darby, we have other youngsters like Amoo who have been included in the chmapions league squad.

Eccleston, Dalla Valle, Kacaniklic and Buchtmann are other youth players who looks very interesting.

Also keep an eye on the new spanish lad called "Suso"...

i dont like spearing

pacheco
mavinga
ayala
dalla valle
amoo
eccleston

all look like real players i wouldn't mind seeing all of them against leeds

you don't like spearing? is that a personal dislike? or do you mean as a player?

personally i think spearing should be in the team - i would have been happy to take the money for mash if i had thought it would give spearing the chance to get a run in the team in that position ...... i believe spearing has the potential to be a key player for us if he is given a chance to play regularly

Spearing in for mash?No.I'd give him a go instead of lucas.Similar type of player as mash,but would offer us more than lucas.We'd be better playing mash alongside gerrard,with kuyt on the right & riera on the left,with yossi behind torres.The best we can do til aquilani is fit.

i was talking about for the money we were offered it would have been worth it - we could then have afforded to buy a good quality right winger or back up striker

spearing is good enough to replace mash imo

i think he runs around and contributes nothing

I've been watching Andre Wisdom for a couple of years. He has just turned 16 a couple of months ago & has been doing well at centre half & full back when i've seen him at the academy.

i can't believe you have watched much of spearing if you think that - the lad was a star for the academy at centre half despite being a 3 ft tall (or should that be short?) munchkin ..... he can pass, tackle and has great positional sense
