Under 18s 1 up against Palace. Another goal for Sinclair. I'm not sure I've seen a better finisher come through at Liverpool since... well, in a long time. he really looks like an incredible talent.
Threw the game away though !
Make that 2!
? Non comprehende senor
Ha- luckily I didn't come back to this! Pity for Dunn.
Sinclair looks like a monster in the making.

... since Nemeth maybe? The kid could really finish. Too bad he had so many injuries. Wasn't Lauri Dalla Valle pretty good at sticking the ball in the back of the net as well, before we sold him to Fulham?
This lad is in a different class. Don't get me wrong, I liked Nemeth- but he never looked like a number 9- he always looked like a number 10 who was performing that role, and had a very good conversion rate. This lad is frightening. He is aged 15, playing at U18 level, and he makes his opponents look like kids. Scores every type of goal, long range curler, rockets, poachers' efforts, and cooly slotting it in. He's a different class. Apparently the Academy staff think he's the next messiah...that's the level we're talking here.
We paid £750,000 to the Baggies for him aged 14. I think that says a lot about our hopes for him.
Somebody was asking who's the last prospect we had as promising as Sinclair, and the answer's simple: Sterling. Comparisons to the likes of Nemeth don't really do it for me: he's a cut above every young striker we've had since Owen came through, with that rare combination of technical exellence and great athleticism.
And it's no secret why: he's one of the best young players in England and we paid big money for him, just like Sterling, and also just like Ibe and Ojo. It's not rocket science, but it's a pretty good tactic nontheless as far as I can see. I only hope we carry on doing it now Comolli and, to a lesser extent, Pep Segura have gone, because us getting hold of these lads was the bright spot of our recruitment over the last couple of years.
The u16s have started the season well, btw, with 2 wins from 2 against Wolves and Palace. I think they won 4-1 against Palace, with a goal each from Rossiter and Marsh and 2 from the very exciting winger Harry Wilson.

Crystal Palace U21 1-3 Liverpool U21
No Suso and Pacheco. Potentially involved in the Hearts match?

Liverpool and Norwegian second division club Ik Start have reached an agreement over the loan deal for a talented 19-year-old striker Villyan Bijev. The youngster, who spent last season on loan at Fortuna Düsseldorf and scored 4 goals in 17 appearances, will be on loan at the Scandinavian club until 31st of December of this year. Liverpool will continue to pay his wages and have been clever enough not to include an option to buy in the deal. Although, if the USA U-20 international impresses the management at his temporary club, he could extend his stay there.
Liverpool signed him last summer on a 5-year-contract from California Odyssey. The Merseyside club more likely to loan Villyan Bijev out at different clubs until 2014 when the American expected to get a work permit due to change of rules in the UK work permit policy.
Villyan Bijev will wear shirt No. 20 and could make his first start this Sunday against Bærum.
Apparently Suso was serving the second game of his four-game suspension for being red-carded twice last season:

Still available for the Hearts game, though. If Adam and Spearing are on the way out, I'd think there should be a good chance of some involvement for the lad.
Academy starlet Jerome Sinclair was on the mark as England U17s beat Turkey 4-1 in the SGP tournament on Friday night.
Steve Cooper's U18s are in action on Saturday morning when they travel to Manchester City (11am).
After netting a double for the U18s against Crystal Palace last weekend, the teenage striker fired another cracker against Turkey.Steve Cooper's U18s are in action on Saturday morning when they travel to Manchester City (11am).
sadly yes. next week.
I rate him, what do you reckon his chances are of making it?
