Good. The more we bring in the more likely it is one of 'em will make it. 2 years down the line we'll be in the same position as Arsenal I'd imagine but without having sold every other player over the age of 21 (I hope)
Liverpool have completed the capture of Athletic Bilbao defender Mikel San Jose.
The 18-year-old central defender becomes Liverpool's second signing of what has been a quiet pre-season, after the two clubs struck an accord over a €400,000 (£270,000) fee.
San Jose is highly thought of at the Basque outfit and was expected to progress to the club's second team next season, after a series of mature displays in junior sides.
Bilbao concede they were loath to let a player of promise leave, but have wished him well as he sets about a fresh challenge on Merseyside.
"For us it is bad news, but Mikel has decided on the choice of Liverpool and it was impossible for us to fight against a European giant," read a club statement.
San Jose is now looking forward to the opportunity to link-up with his compatriot Rafa Benitez (pictured) at Liverpool.
"It was a surprise for me but I have decided to accept the chance at Liverpool," said San Jose.
"I am very excited but now I know that I have to work more each day to get in the first team."
