Ngoo

[BigChief]

Don't think it matters who we loan him out to. You only need to look at how Sturridge, Sterling, Suarez play to see Ngoo possesses none of these guys attributes.

And now he isn't even finishing that great for reserves either. He's turning into the next Adam Morgan who was the earlier Kristian Nemeth. Might make some money on him, maybe even at Hearts if/when he impresses. I am a fan of his though, that's why I say this with a heavy heart.

You only need to look at Billy McKay to see what a shambles that league has become. scores about 15 goals in 5 seasons for Northampton Town released on a free and now top scorer in the SPL.

I don't think he will learn anything up there, Loan him to a Championship or League 1 club.

He'll never get the chance with us but Hearts.. I hope not..

Booooooooooooooooooooooo.

LIVERPOOL’S Michael Ngoo is one of several strikers being monitored by Hearts as they consider whether to reinforce their attack with another loan move. The Evening News has learned that Ngoo’s name is on a shortlist of potential targets from south of the Border.

The 20-year-old has been watched several times by the Hearts manager John McGlynn and director of football John Murray in recent months. He is an England Under-19 and 
Under-20 internationalist, 6ft 4in tall and is known for his lightning pace and physical presence up front. He is able to play as a lone striker or as part of a two or three-man attack. Hearts have yet to decide whether to move for Ngoo or go for one of the other options on their list.

As we revealed yesterday, McGlynn is keen to recruit a new striker if possible. Hearts are restricted by the SPL to signing under-21 players on a one-in-one-out basis.

Having replaced Ryan McGowan with Danny Wilson from Liverpool, they could 
return to Anfield to broker 
another loan agreement with Peter Enckelman’s place in the squad still open.

Ngoo joined Liverpool in September 2009 from Southend United for a fee potentially worth up to £250,000. He scored 15 goals in 21 games for Liverpool’s under-18s in season 2010/11, which earned him promotion to the club’s reserve squad. He was also part of the England’s squad for the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia in 2011.

McGlynn’s dealings with the Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, over Wilson were smooth and uncomplicated, and today he praised the Northern Irishman for allowing the centre-back to move north until the end of the season.

“I have to thank Liverpool and Brendan for being so co-operative and allowing Danny to come here,” he said.

“We’d earmarked Danny for some time and had been down watching some games, but it was just coincidence that the transfer ban was lifted.

He won't get the chance under Rodgers regardless of how he plays.

He is just not Rodgers type of a footballer.

I'm assuming you mean not good enough

Just listened to Rodgers h/t comments about Ngoo from last week's Chelsea reserve match. He has no chance here.

Can't really remember and a wee bit tipsy but he was a bit uncomfortable when asked and went along the lines of 'erm, he's definitely unorthodox, works very hard, good touch for a big lad, should have a good future in the game'.

What a cunt.

Yeah he looks cumbersome and unorthodox , but I think we'd all agree that we'd prefer to see him given a chance than us persuising the likes of Sturridge.

Althought I fully expect Ngoo to be at a championship side within 2 years.

Just opened this thread thinking it said "Nooo" thought Suarez had handed in a transfer request or something carry on..

'I wouldn't normally be so decisive on a player but I just can't see what he can offer a team who wants to play intelligent,passing football.'

The reserves play better 'intelligent, passing football' than the first team.

'He is a centre forward who will only do well by using his brute strength,not much agility or awareness imo. '

That's just not true, so no point in even arguing with someone who clearly has made his mind up without watching him play much.

FWIW, I don't think Ngoo will ever go on to be a first team regular for us, I've seen much more talented players fail. On merit alone, he deserves a chance this season though under the circumstances and it's a terrible shame that chance won't be coming in Russia.

I have watched him enough to be able to form my own opinion. I am all for giving youngsters a chance and am really enjoying seeing Sterling,Suso and Wisdom getting a chance.

However, Ngoo just doesn't excite me or fill me with any kind of confidence as an attacking option for the first team.
