Dani Pacheco

Looks that way. This under-19 team are superb. Great time to start stripping our Spanish heart away, eh?

**** me, you're on one at the minute aren't you! Moody get

Pacheco looks a real talent, contract him up and loan him out

[Spanishfly]

Why loan him out! Keep him here and use him. If we need a goal in the last few minutes i'm sure we'll get it from him/made by him. When a talent like that comes along you have to use it, like Arsenal did with Fabregas.

Think Pacheco has said he wants regular football and thats fair enough and IMO i think he'll be a squad player at best for us s owhy not sign him up on a nice contract and loan him out for some first team experience and regular football. IMO its a smart move

Real Sociedad line up move for young Liverpool striker

Tony Barrett

Real Sociedad hope to take advantage of Dani Pacheco’s fears that his starring role in the European Under-19 Championship will not be rewarded with regular first-team football at Liverpool by offering the striker a return to Spain.

Pacheco has been one of the top performers at the tournament in France, scoring four goals as Spain reached Friday’s final, including the opener in yesterday’s 3-1 semi-final win over England in Saint-Lô.

The 19-year-old has expressed concerns that his development will stall if he is not given more first-team chances this season. Sociedad, newly promoted to La Liga, hope to build a squad capable of competing in Spain’s top division, but there are no indications as yet that Liverpool would be prepared to do business.

Pacheco’s path into the Liverpool first team is likely to be blocked by the arrival of Joe Cole from Chelsea.

keep him and play him. i think he may be ready to step up.

[Craig_H]

Problem is, where's he gonna play?

We've got Gerrard, Cole and Aquilani all well ahead of him as the '2nd forward' or in the 'hole' player. He'd get very little game-time.

Could use him as an option on the left in a few games?

[Craig_H]

Possibly but that's not really natural to him is it?

I'm not keen on the idea of players playing out of position generally, let alone someone as young and raw as him. He'd be much better off with his development if he plays in his best role.

He should at least get a chance to show if he is good enough, even if it means putting some more established players' noses out of joint. Just like it used to be. A younger hungrier player gets a sniff of first team action, makes an impact (hopefully) and then keeps his place. I would be devastated if he was moved on at this stage.

He could be Aguero!

I could understand it if he had one player ahead of him in the pecking order. But three?

In what circumstances would all three of them all be unavailable? Or are you suggesting putting him in ahead of a Gerrard, Cole or Aquaman?

[little dave hedgehog]

play him up front. 4-4-2 with nando.

I would give him a chance, probably at the expense of Aquilani. Bottom line is Hodgson will see him day in day out in training, and if he thinks he is good enough I just hope he has the balls to give him a proper run in the team.

Such a shame he is away with Spain right now because these Europa qualifiers could have been a great opportunity for him.

Well with 2 of those
