Define excellent. Excellent for his age? Excellent for Liverpool standards? Excellent compared to all our other midfielders last season? Excellent because he had 10 good games after stalling for two years? Excellent because he’s scouse?
I respect you because you seem to have huge knowledge about young talent in football but for some reason you are not able to take of those red tinted glasses when it comes to Liverpool academy players and especially if they are local lads.
Curtis is a good kid and imo he will be a good squad player for many years to come but I’m not seeing him ever winning a clear starting spot here.
We will bring in two or three new midfielders now. One or two more in the coming 1-2 years to replace Thiago, Fab and Hendo. Most of the new signings will push Curtis down the pecking order.
5th choice if things go very good for him.
