He's a centre back, judge him as a centre back. How good would a 18 year old Sami look at left back?

Hes looked absolutely shite at centre back.
He has yet to start a game for LFC as one of a 2 man CB formation.
He doesn't have the physical attributes for one to say, 'Oh well, at least he's got the height to defend crosses', He's over 6' 2" and IS strong in the air!
or 'At least he's got the speed to make up for his deficiencies' He's quicker than most centre backs
, nor does he have the skill set for one to be impressed with, like you could with someone like Agger.
He's certainly good on the ball and no doubt will show this when he settles in.
He's not aggressive either. He's quite physical and won't get pushed around
So he's a pretty short, classy centre back, except he's not very classy at all. Tall, Classy, strong in the air, quick and good on the ball
He'll never make it for us. He's got as much chance as Kelly and we're blessed to have the 2 best young CB's in te country.

All correct apart from the bits I've corrected JM ;-)

I think you've been watching a different player DB.
He's not quick, gives the ball away, is very ordinary on the ball and I have not seen any evidence of him being strong in the air, thus my assumption that he wasn't tall.
We'll see, I guess, but I'd rather have him out on loan and make something of his non-talent than see him in our squad. As it stands our fourth choice CB is better than him so he's got to be off.
