Suso [Sold to AC Milan]

[Craig_H]

The lad has supreme talent, the kind which cant be taught, you're just born with it. His vision is superb and his passing is a class apart. Good maturity for a kid and very quick dribbling skills, along with excellent balance reminds me a little of Messi.

We must nurture talent like this and bring them through - and then, not restrict them to a regimented style of play.

If even just ONE such youngster is brought through the process properly, they can save us £30m transfer fees in the future.

Barring any freakishness, in Suso we have a Xavi/Iniesta type player on our hands. At worst we have a Luka Modric type. On Coady, hopefully, he can become a surprise package like Kelly a year a go and show himself to be a competent midfielder (i.e. better than Shelvey / Spearing are at the moment).

If this kid can break through and we do add some quality transfers in then we could be starting to assemble a pretty exciting squad. I'm in a positive mood about everything LFC related at the moment even if we are sat in the second half of the table.

Great news. These lads carry our hopes on their backs. I hope their up to it !

I cannot see these lads disappointing us Steve..

These two lads will benefit hugely from being at Melwood and I have no doubt that they will progress.

They're both exciting prospects and hopefully they'll get min's in the first team this season, which I am sure they will not waste.

Good on Kenny in giving our bright lights the chance to progress.

How anyone can still get excited about up and coming youngsters is beyond me.

Le Tallec, Pongolle, Mellor, Anderson, Hamill etc etc....

About 99% will never make it here so just ignore them until they at least get into the first team.

All players were youngsters at one point, even Messi and Ronaldo

You miserable ****er.

[danperkins]

Excellent news, a star in the making.

[Mostar]

He is a future star in making bar any serious injuries.

Some incredible vision and ball control.

He could easily be the best we produced since Gerrard.

Without a doubt

Last year there was me thinking Ince, Ecclestone etc looked promising - compared to Suso they are jack **** he's absolute class - cant believe he only cost us initial £55k

[SB]

Just saw this in the ****ter thread. Does this mean possibly on the bench or just taking them along for a drive?

Pretty certain it will be the latter, but you never know

Sort of know what you mean. People saying "put him into the first team" are clearly a bit "giddy" - he's way too lightweight imo.

BUT, he is extremely gifted so would be somewhat optimistic on this on.

Posted this in the other thread but might make more sense here. Apologies for the duplication:

(From the official)

In our latest column from the club's youth base, Academy director Frank McParland tells us how a lift from Kenny Dalglish resulted in a training session with Steven Gerrard and co for two lucky starlets.

I was at home relaxing on Sunday night when the phone rang. It was the boss. He told me he'd be down to the Academy on Monday morning at 9.30am sharp and to make sure I had the kettle on!

So, we got everyone together first thing the next day and got them to dress smart for the occasion.

When Kenny arrived we had a quick cup of tea and then he addressed everyone - both Academy staff and players.

He told us that he is focused on spreading the message that this is 'one club' and is very keen for us to get together with the staff from Melwood to actively talk about our young players.

He wants to get down here as much as possible.

He assured the players that there would be big opportunities ahead for them to be involved in first-team training sessions and that some of them will be going away with the first-team for Barclays Premier League games so they can sample the experience of it all.

He mentioned that he was really pleased with the Youth Cup win over Crystal Palace and that the lads had the chance to play at Anfield. We are now using the prozone that the first-team have and will analyse the stats of that performance with it. We have scheduled meetings to discuss this further with Damien Comolli and all of the other fitness people from Melwood.

Everything has been hugely positive and it is great that the Academy is so heavily involved in Kenny's plans.

After that meeting he decided to take Conor Coady and Suso up to Melwood with him to train with the first-team.

He took me and the two boys down to Melwood in his car which was obviously a great moment for them. I watched them train with the likes of Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole and Fabio Aurelio - all the players who weren't involved against Everton.

They both did very well and were a credit to the Academy. I have to say that just watching Gerrard in training was special. Conor and Suso came off the pitch and said that for a 20 minute spell the skipper was unplayable. I was watching and I had to agree with them!

The two lads will now spend the rest of the week there and it is very possible they will go to the game with Wolves and stay at the hotel.

After the session, the boss decided he would drive us back and we watched the U15s train in the afternoon. It was a really good day - but it didn't stop there.

The first-team had the day off on Tuesday and Kenny was at Melwood for various meetings. However, it didn't stop him hot-footing it down to Kirkby to watch an U17s friendly with Shrewsbury.

We had a lot of the scholars who haven't been playing regularly for Rodolfo involved, as well as Jason Banton who we signed recently. He scored and did okay for us which was a positive because we all want to have a good look at what he can offer us.

The fact Kenny took up a place in the dugout alongside Rodolfo was also a nice touch and it will have given all the lads involved a huge lift to have the opportunity to impress the first-team boss.

It's certainly exciting times for us here and great that the boss is bringing us altogether as one.
