Liverpool Youth Teams Thread

One would hope for nominative determinatism…

Is there a player called Jimmy Hatricks by any chance?

Academy still very influenced by ideas implemented by Klopp.

At the moment it doesn’t feel like many academy players will break into the first team under Slot.

Will be interesting to see if Slot will bring in his ideas over the next two years.

Like what, for example? I’m a bit jealous of Man City seemingly churning out youngsters of the highest quality year on year but it’s not like Liverpool’s academy isn’t doing anything of note.

First team has two pretty good academy graduates vying for starting positions and if Quansah sale goes through, club will have earned 60 million pounds from academy players this summer alone. That’s pretty good in my opinion, hopefully more will follow in both categories.

And it’s not just City - Chelsea will get probably twice the number of aggregate appearances next season from City academy grads than City will. What they maybe havent done that well is extract great value for them given how quickly several of them have neded up making a decently expensive move afterwards. But maybe the money for Palmer makes up for that by itself.

Echo:

#LFC goalkeeper Harvey Davies is close to agreeing a season-long loan move to League Two side Crawley Town, while James Balagizi is on trial at Swedish side Osters IF.
