An agreement is already in place for FA Youth Cup winner Jimmy Ryan to make his loan move with Shrewsbury Town permanent in January. The midfielder was part of our famed youth team from a couple of years back and like the rest of those players he never broke in to the first team.
I'd high hopes that from that crop of players we'd get to see another local youngster make the breakthrough, while Spearing and Lindfield remain part of the squad it looks like the very talented Adam Hammill (on loan with Southampton) is the one with most potential. Now that LFC is 'cash rich' I hope it doesn't mean we'll always look to the transfer market for our next player :-(

Does anyone really mind where the players come from as long as we win ?
I know I don't !
True jessica we'd all feel like that but Paul makes a good point. Who was the last player to come through the youth ranks and make it as a senior player at Liverpool? Gerrard? Didn't we and don't we continue to spend millions on our academy and it seems we're not getting much return out of it as yet. Rafa seems to be doing an Arsene and buying young talent from around the globe instead of developing English youngsters and that could be a bad thing if Uefa enforce a restriction on the number of foreign players in a team...
And if UEFA do, that will also have a direct knock on effect for Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, so we will still be in the same boat as them...
I know yeah but we should get a head start on the feckers!
Ha ha, I like your thinking Terence ;-)
I don't have any problem with their being lots of 'foreigners' in the team, it increases the standard.
But there's something exciting for everyone when a youngster breaks through, such as Fowler, MacManaman, Owen and Gerrard
