Is he training with the rest of the squad now ? Is he not going to be presented to the media like torres and voronin ?

[BobTheCharmer]

Can the lad score blinding free kicks? Thats what we need more than anything. Someone to hit a decent deadball. If not, whats the point of him? The other players in his position all have at least 5 or 6 seasons to give us.

[ronan]

is he not injured and had to pull out of the u 20 world cup?

Yep. And I think he's still off sunning himself.
My guess is that this is preferrable to Rafa than playing more football right now.

We'll have aurelio for that hopefully, but he'll probably get injured 2nd game of the season

[anfieldanfield]

Did we ever discover what his actual position was ?

Box to box central midfielder ?

wasn't overly impressed with his free kicks to be honest. Very predictable when it came to direct shots on goal. Agreed about getting injured!

Mix between Gerrard and Baraja. A Defensive midfielder who can drive forward. Think old Gerrard

Lovely in theory, not sure how/when he's going to get a game next season though....

That's my worry. Even with rotation i struggle to see how he'll get a game. However i think he'll be blooded into the team like Agger.

Yep, it's confusing.

With all these central midfielders being brought in I think one thing is for certain....Gerrard's days in the center of the park are behind him under Rafa.

You'd think that but you never know what formation we'll play with Rafa. I personally think a 4-3-3 would be perfect for the players we have, but then, that why Im not the manager!

Since when have there been 12 players from the same team been allowed on the pitch at the same time?

I meant 4-3-3

With the players we've got, we'd only get balance with a 4-4-3, so I can see why you made that mistake. In fact, with all our Central midfielders, we need to play a 4-7-2.
