KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Illori As A DM. Thoughts?

Title pretty much says it all. The kid is pacey & has a good touch, I understand. I think I remember hearing he is also two-footed.
I've seen many wonder here on KopTalk if Agger could play DM but the opinions seem to be he isn't quick enough. Illori is.

Thoughts?

HAVENT Seen him play as a cb let alone see him playing as a dm

I think he would be able to adapt before he signed i remember people saying he beat ronaldos sprint speed at sporting. He had a good season in spain and even got an awesome assist

pace isnt really such as factor when it comes to dm. positioning is the main attribute to have. pace in any position helps but its not a must for a dm

I agree.

agger close to leaving so need another he should play DM dude

Perhaps Ilori could be another Bale. I mean Spurs bought him as a left back. Perhaps Ilori will be our new centre forward.

so is Ilori not going out on loan this season?

I'd have guessed so, unless we sell a couple of centre backs.

I think he will stay with us this season. Certainly should play in League Cup and if he is to have a future with us needs to be pushing for a first team place by the end of the season.

If he does go out on loan best send him somewhere he will get games and where he will be tested. Any team in the bottom half of the Prem would see him getting plenty of practice.
