by first teamer i didn't necessarily mean first choice just in first team squad i.e Ibe though Matip might be
No, you said they were for the future. I said they I couldn't see them being first choice #difference
Not seem anything of Grujic so no idea. Allan as looked great from what I've seen but in a poor league.
I think LFC will be struggling to get both grujic and allan into the team as they are more long term choices. I think we'll see a couple of sneior players bought in CM area and one ACM.
Deli Alli got in because he's good enough.. not saying either of these lads will be has good, be very happy if they were.. But, if you're good enough then age isn't an issue. If they buy into what is needed by Klopp and he's got confidence in playing them, then I see no reason they (Gruic in particular) can't get game time next year.
sure... but expecting it before they do it is different from bringing them one and giving the opportunity. We've bought both quite cheap. We will see what they have got again... who's been sacked over delle alli.. .who's little computer gizmo said meh.... why is edwards still employed. Answers on a postcard to FSG have no clue boston
Allan couldn't get a work permit so had to go out on loan again, can't see him being in first team next year. Probably another loan. He he was called into the under 20s I think recently which should help get work permit for next season though.
yup. unless he plays the full games at u20s this summer and we apply, fail then get it through on appeal he will be on loan next time.
Most people knew Alli would be good, this good, I doubt it.. Win some, lose some.. Gruic has been rated one of the best youngsters to come out of Serbia in ages, now, that doesn't mean he'll translate that to the PL.. But if he's got a decent skill level to work with and Klopp can mold him he could be a starter sooner than most think... BUT.. He's a young lad, moving to a new country/culture and style of football, needs to be given time to adapt.. Personally not expecting too much from him next year, a few games, some decent performances, building blocks for the future!
Can't see Grujic or Allan starting many games next season - I expect us to bring in a midfield schemer like Zielinski and maybe one other - I think Klopp wants Can to be the DM.
the thing was he was DRIVEN to our training ground by his manager. He was well rated right up. He should have been a no brainer for lfc. Grujic needs time to adapt for sure. They cannot be compared and should not be. a potential good deal on one guy verses a total **** up on another. If LFc had even coughed up the cash that january spurs could have offered 3x wages and he might have still joined us.
Alli is on £30k a week at Spurs. We refused to give an unproven kid that much. It's a shame we didn't go for it but a) we couldn't afford to give him that much and b) guarantee him games. Hindsight is wonderful but it's time to move on - he will go on to become a top player and we missed out. That's football.
Guy keeps his feet on the ground, he'll be a world beater.. We missed out, yes, but move on, not one for crying over spilt milk..
