Suso, Luis Alberto and Joao Teixeira.

With all the endless midfield debate going on we don't hear to much about these 3.

They are all at ages (20/21) where they should be near enough ready to stake a claim for 1st team games, Suso and Alberto are ahead of Teixeira in their development having already played games for the first team, Suso looks a real talent and is doing very well on loan on top of looking promising for us last season, Alberto its hard to tell as we really haven't had a good look at him, Teixeira had an injury which put him back a bit but looks good from the bits i have seen of him for the U21s and is one of our standout players in that team.

Which one/s will genuinely make it here and grab a place in our midfield in the not to distant future? will any of them? we really could do with at least one of them turning out to be a top class player for us.

I like Suso a lot but I've really been more and more impressed with Teixeira over the past year or so. He's a bit stronger, quicker and more decisive (or at least quicker to decide) than Suso is, I feel, and I really do think he'll make it at the top (ish) here or elsewhere. So much depends here on the right spaces opening up. I don't know much about Alberto. He looks good but a bit dazed by the pace in England. Presumably he'll acclimatise and improve.

I have big big hopes for Suso still. Haven't seen Teixeira at all I think, and I have not been impressed with the little I've seen of Alberto so far. As Macca said looks at least a yard of the pace. £6M seems well steep at this stage.

Teixeira looks to have more goals in him than the other 2 aswell, Suso i think is definately in Rodgers plans but he wants/needs him to toughen right up, we can't be babysitting players, for to long anyway, tbh im not sure how much you can really install toughness/grit/will to win into players if they don't already possess those attributes already.
