He could be outrages! Thank fuck Benitez isnt here to bury him and then send him on loan to the conference or something!!!

Can you name one player who Benitez sent on loan who is now doing well and playing at a better level?
I'll bet you can't. Its this kind of pathetic, ill thought out jibe against people that irks me the most. Why did his name even need to be brought into this discussion?
Youth players; some of them make it, most of them don't. That's not a Benitez thing, that's the case at pretty much every football club.

It was just a general statement, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but it would have been a legitimate concern of mine under previous management. Ok maybe not being sent to the conference but somewhere else perhaps.
Compared to other clubs, the scum, arsenal etc, we never really blooded youngsters under Benitez. The reserves under Benitez seemed more like a quick fix for turning fees of under a million into profit. And ill bring him into it if I want to, Whether you think its knee jerk, ill thought out or whatever the fact is that Suso does stand a better chance under someone like Kenny of breaking into the first team.
Oh and your first line, is that disagreeing or agreeing or what the fuck. One player thats playing at a better level than what? The reserves where he was kept or the first team? I dont understand. Maybe you should be a tad clearer when constructing your knee jerk ill thought out questions! However if its loans and benitez you want to talk about I know that if you were loaned out under Rafa it was pretty much the kiss of death for your liverpool career!
Plus everything le tallac said!!! Its not Rafa bashing either, its just being happier with the attitude of the current management towards promoting youth. Jesus, some people are so touchy!

Seeing as you are being so obtuse about my "ill thought out reaction" to your post I'll spell it out to you.
Name any player who Benitez sent out on loan who has been successful with any other club at a higher level than LFC are currently playing at? ie the reason he sent them out on loan was that they weren't good enough for our first team. The fact that none of them have "made it" anywhere else apart from at clubs like Barnsley (Hammill) and Forest (Anderson) to name but two examples shows that he was right to let them go on loan.
We could criticise Benitez for bringing the "talent" in the first place, but as I've alluded to previously, not every player who comes through the youth team can or will be the new Fowler or Gerrard etc.
Oh and by your own admission, your initial post was a bit of an exaggeration, so perhaps that explains my "ill thought out post".
And LTW, not all people who defend Benitez are RCDNWer's, that's a lazy tag and I expected better from you...

An exaggeration as in a bit of a joke, off the cuff and not intended for someone to pathetically pick an argument with ! The original post was about how good I thought suso could be. Outrages is what i said. After that it was just an opinion, not my fault you took offence to it, l still reckon he stands a better chance under the current management of making the first team. And everybody can pull facts out of their arses to disprove or prove how many chances Rafa gave youth (again, im not picking on Rafa) but the fact is that the type of player suso is would stand a better chance of being blooded at the likes of Arsenal than here under Rafa, because wenger isnt afraid to give young skillful players a chance! Not to hard to understand, just someones opinion.
And as for an answer to your question. One player who is currently playing at a higher level who was loaned out under benitez. Would Danny Guthrie do? Newcastle technically are playing at a higher level than us this year being 4 places above us in the league currently! 😛
Edit: Ok guthrie hasnt been successful..but a least i named one....even if i was a bit cheeky about it!!
