    Jesus is a Red.

    Well, seeing as God played for us, i suppose it's only right his son should follow in his illustrious footsteps.

    Reds beat Real to midfield signing

    Liverpool have beaten Real Madrid and Barcelona to the signature of Cadiz teenager Jesus Fernandez Saez, according to reports in Spain.

    The 16-year-old, nicknamed Suso, will sign a five-year contract with The Reds.

    After several months tracking the midfielder, Rafa Benitez made his move, with neither of the Spanish giants Real Madrid nor Barcelona able to be as persuasive as The Reds.

    Cadiz will be paid compensation and, although a figure has not been specified, it is believed to be more than the payment due to the Spanish team to take over the player’s academy contract.

    Jesus is just what we need. Do you think he can apply the "Loaves and Fishes" principle to our transfer budget?

      Maybe he already has, in the form of GG's windfall.

          Do you reckon he is any good on crosses?
          Jellyfish are 97% water or something, so how much are they doing? Just give them another 3% and make them water. It's more useful

                  Shouldn't he be in goal? They say that Jesus saves!!
                  "That's how I found myself on the Kop that day I had my blue-and-white scarf safely tucked away inside my coat as I listened to Liverpool songs and swayed with the masses.

                  Then City scored and I screeched and this big bloke, a Liverpool supporter, made towards me and I thought he was going to throttle me. But he just pulled my scarf from under my coat so it lay on the outside, and said: "You should always be proud of your colours, lad."

                        Liverpool Have Signed A Jewel In Suso - Cadiz Youth Chief

                        Suso may become a household name in England in years to come after Liverpool signed the youngster from Cadiz, but his former coach is both happy and sad to see him go...



                        Liverpool have signed a jewel for the future when they secured the services of Jesus Fernandez Saez, who is nicknamed Suso, ahead of the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, according to his former youth team coach, Quique Gonzalez.

                        Goal.com spoke exclusively to the Cadiz trainer that helped groom the 16-year-old before he was spotted by the Reds and he gave his thoughts on the player's abilities, character and chance of succeeding in England.

                        Goal.com: Quique, how did Suso arrive at Cadiz?

                        Quique Gonzalez: Suso arrived at the club four or five years ago. He played for all the junior teams before moving up to play for the cadetes. I saw him play in a small team in the region, Centro Berman, and as Cadiz have a collaboration agreement with them we offered Suso the chance to join us and move here with his family.

                        Goal.com: Has he had any experience playing at juvenile level?

                        QG: Yes, he has played in the Cadiz and Andalucia teams, but it has surprised me that they have never called him up for the Spain Under-16 team. The coach has seen him several times, but has not called him. That is strange because the Andalucian side is one of the strongest at national level in his age group and Suso has stood out for them and been the best on occasion. But they still have decided not to call him up.

                        Goal.com: What kind of player have Liverpool signed? What will Suso give them?

                        QG: He is a left-sided midfielder with extraordinary talent. He has great quality, a good shot, his vision is great and his passing is outstanding. He has a bit of everything and I think they have signed a jewel. With a youth team one can try them out in several positions, but I think he would also be good as an attacking or holding midfielder. He may not have that much speed, that is not his strong point. But he can dribble well and does have great vision. He could be effective playing in the middle.

                        Goal.com: Could you compare him with a well-known player in Spain?

                        QG: I do not like making comparisons, but if you are talking about his style of play then maybe someone like Guti. He may also have something about him like Albert Riera too, but not as much. I think Suso does have elements of those players. What is very important though is that he can score goals. He likes to go into the area as part of the second wave. He has scored a good number of goals from distance too, that is one of his qualities.

                        Goal.com: What is Suso like as a person?

                        QG: He is dedicated and intelligent. He is well-grounded. He focuses on his education, is a good team-mate who is also well-disciplined and good mannered.

                        Goal.com: Liverpool cannot have been the first team to want him. What other clubs were interested?

                        QG: Various Spanish teams watched him, the biggest ones. Almeria did and Villarreal and then Sevilla and after them Real Madrid and Barcelona also showed an interest. When things like this happen the smaller clubs are used to struggling to hold on to players and with Barca and Madrid looking on it is difficult. But Liverpool's offer seemed to be very good and that was something that they sorted out with the boy and his family.

                        Goal.com: What does it mean to Cadiz that a club like Liverpool were interested in one of your players? Especially one that had not even trained with the first team.

                        QG: As much for me as for the coaches at the club it was a proud moment that such a big team saw him and were so interested. It means that the Cadiz youth system is working well and that we have good players. It also made me a bit sad that we did not have the chance to see him play in our first team though. He has left without ever training at the highest level with us. We had great hopes for him, but that is the way it is. If Manchester United cannot even keep Cristiano Ronaldo when Real Madrid were interested, you can imagine what it is like for a club Cadiz.

                        Goal.com: Cadiz have won promotion back to la Segunda A and Liverpool may want to loan the player out before giving him his debut in the Premier League.

                        QG: I think that he has everything needed to succeed there, but if he cannot do it quickly and he was to spend time with another team it would be great if he was to fill a space in our team. But I am sure he will have plenty of offers from clubs in England too.

                          I suppose we will have to wait until Easter Sunday for his debut?

                            Let's hope so - don't want to see him plying his trade in Segunda A in a couple of seasons haveing not made the breakthrough. These players need to be coming through - we haven't unearthed anyone from that Academy in ages - like a White Elephant at this rate

                              Would have to agree with that, hoping that this year we will see a few of the
                              reserve lads getting a chance to prove their worth.
