I can see us signing a few higher quality players for the U21 in the summer supplemented by a few of the U18 team

Our reputation is growing and I can envisage young ambitious players will want to come here.

It's inevitable that we'll bring in foreign players especially when you look at players like Michut. Watching the sad, but inevitable, demise of 'exciting English prospect' Connor Wickham, at Cardiff, made me wonder if there's something lacking in lads like him.

Dan Neil is talked about as a future top class player but his shots under little pressure, at Cardiff, barely stayed in the ground. It's worrying tbh, surely a Championship player, established at his home town club, should score goals or at least get the odd shot on target.

Neil's shooting was awful against Cardiff but I think with him it's a confidence issue, he doesn't look like he believes it's going in. Could be that like an out of form striker a goal or two could be what he needs to hit it with more conviction.

I think his better chances were on his left foot too which didn't help. Should have done better with them like.

Not sure the hometown club bit is relevant to be honest. Quite a few non homegrown players have hit terrible shots lately as well. Neil isnt playing an attacking advanced position. He is forward when we havr corners or have a lot of pressure. Otherwise he is the deepest lying midfielder. He is playing in the Corry Evans role, a player some think has been a big miss. Corry has scored 2 in 60 odd games for Sunderland. Dan has a better record on goals and assists playing the same position but seems to be expected to do what the likes of Pritchard fail to do, despite Pritchard being the advanced attacker, as well as what Evans was expected to do. The fuss people make about his failings on here is odd. Mentioning him when talking about the wasted talent of another english lad even more so.

He’ll be even better next year when he’s got hendo alongside him :emoticon-0103-cool:

Would be really good to see. Bit of a longshot I think, but we can dream. Henderson has had a brilliant career and I am not so sure he is ready to leave Liverpool yet. Looks like they wont go for Bellingham and Henderson still looks the one player Klopp trusts when it is a battle.

I don’t see him coming back until after euro 2024 as a minimum really but we can all hope

I'm not making a big fuss of his failings mate ...

... I just find it poor that a player in space, who isn't being challenged, can't hit a shot on target.

Not just Neil, any player.

The position he's playing is irrelevant imo, any .midfield player should be able to hit the target, Evans could.
