Opinion on who you feel will make the step up from the reserves next season, leave Pacheco and Kelly out as they are already of the first team squad at this moment in time.

Peter Gulasci - Rumours about a potential purchase of a new No.2, I hope are wide of the mark. Gulasci is the man for me, I actually feel though that he's too good to be a backup keeper indefinitely IMO, but that's a debate for another time.

Francisco Duran - Needs a good rest once the reserve season is over, a vigorous Pre-Season, and he too, is more than ready, for regular minutes in the first team, quality ball playing midfielder looked a little tender this season at times for the reserves but that is to be expected after so long out.

David Amoo - Not just yet after a long hard think about it, now if I was privvy to his trainbing sessions with the first team squad then I may feel a little different. His crossing when, reaching the byline (and when he connects how he wants to, which has been in the high percentage as the seasons gone on) is reminiscent of John Barnes IMO, shoulkd definitely see him in the Coca Cola and Fa-Cup games next season.

Stephen Irwin - I'd be surprised if this kid doesn't have a long and illustrious career with Liverpool, If he's loaned out, I'll eat my hat. A run of games in the Coca Cola and Fa-Cup, next season along side a senior player in central midfield, maybe ??, no reason why Irwin, cannot be a household name, this time of next season the lad has gone way up in my estimation as the season has unfolded and his versatility is something the first team squad may benefit from.

Victor Palsson - Seamless transition to center back, from center mid, If he continues in the same manner he has shown this season, in the next, then who knows, Palsson, has got the characteristics we like in Jamie Carragher, but with added mobility, panache and assurity on the ball.

Chris Mavinga - Has a lot of promise, this lad, but not ready yet for the rough and tumble of the senior football.

Amoo and Irwin, I think will outgrow reserve team football, during the 2010/11 season, and shouldn't be loaned out, I have'nt added Pacheco or Kelly to my list as I already now class them as part of the first team squad at Anfield.

Mavinga a definite shout ..

are you leaving out san jose coz it looks like he is gone? if he stays with the club i would like to see him given a chance

Rumours doing the rounds that he will be sent on loan to AEK next season just like Nemeth was this season, the latter I hope to see back with us for the Pre-Season to begin and see if the loan spell has benefitted him at all, the lad definitely knows where the back of the net is I'll give him that.

Yes mate, seen various reports from the Spanish press that a deal for him to go back to Bilbao has already been agreed for around the £3m mark, he's been impressive in La Liga this season, assured and composed.

I think all of them need an opportunity to shine.

i thought so .... what about eccleston? i think he is another name you haven't mentioned that looks like a possible

Bring Nemeth back!

i think shelvey will get games with the 1st team next season. same with pacheco and kelly.

others that should be given a chance is amoo, eccleston, mavinga. i would like to see many more but it doesn't look like there's any chance of that.

Maybe its just a case of them not being quite ready yet rather than not been given a chance. If Eccleston cant get in the Huddersfield side do you really think he'd get any where near our first team?
