Two starts. Three assists. One of England's most dangerous attacking threats. So of course Boothroyd put's Ojo on the bench for the U-19's Euro semi against Italy starting in 10 minutes.

England. Be it The Hodge, Boothroyd or now Allardyce, you couldn't make it up.
 
England deservedly got beat 2-1. Ojo 'officially' with 4 assists through 4 games. (2 starts.). Although it was a comical oggie off the Italians shoulder for the English goal today. Came on way too late. Looked England's best attacking threat again when he did on both wings.

Added bonus that England have qualified for next year's U-20 WC by reaching this stage so a good chance of some more excellent experience for the developing boys.

Very good tournament and very good experience for Sheyi who now fly's straight out to America so that's a bonus for L'pool to have him join the start the US training camp having used this tourney for his early pre-season work.

Scouse did you watch that Italy England U21 game?

Just wondering if you noticed Locatelli for Italy?

Supposed to be a good player, CM at Milan but I've not seen him play yet

(just googled it but it came up with teams from years ago, 2007, some class players here! England U21 3 - 3 Italy U21 - Match Report & Highlights )

Very good CM. Can defo see him being a star in the future. Good technique passing and composure. Heard good things about him and that lad who scored the Peno can't remember his name :)

Yeah every Milan fan that I've seen speak of him say similar things, just wondered if he stood out at all for Italy today.

Still only 18 so will probably be 3+years before hes used more than 4 games a season in the league lol

I had it on in small window the corner the screen so wasn't really paying much attention until Sheyi came on, but to be honest Vanoli, as he was as a player, is an old school Italian coach and they're beyond defensive. They've managed to get through 4 games and reach a final without scoring a goal from open play which is quite impressive. If boring as f to watch. So it'd be hard to judge him regardless. One who has stood out is the captain, Romanga from those ***** in Turin. Don't know if you caught a conversation the United thread recently about City and Bonucci. Romania, along with Rugani, is a massive reason why I don't think they'd have a problem selling if the price was right. As much as I hate them, Juve have some fantastic young centre backs coming through yet again that will be the main stays of both they and the National team.

Locatelli made his debut the end of last season didn't he? (Forget against who.). But then Calabria did the previous year and hardly got any minutes under the Inter man when he should have so I wouldn't hold out much hope. If Berlusconi wasn't so in love with Donnarumma he'd of probably still been in the Primarvera too.

Even better than first thought: Wijnaldum will have Liverpool medical on Friday - Liverpool Echo

£23 million down plus a possible £2 million in add-ons. In today's market for one of those rarity's, a midfielder that scores double figures a season, that's a snip.

WELL happy with this addition.

Well that means Coutinho is off then. No way can we have all those attacking mids vying for only three positions. I doubt Wijnaldum came to play as backup. Really baffled with this signing as most Newcastle fans are glad he is gone as he didnt bother to turn up when they needed him most. Last thing we need is more players who have no bottle. Just think we turned to GW after the Zielinski move fell through. Meh.

Not at all.

Coutinho may go in the future but it has been almost silent thus far. The reason? He is not consistent enough for the bigger sides to justify the 45mil+ Liverpool will want

I 'think' Klopp has targeted him for his versatility and goals from midfielder. He can be used as part of a midfield 3 or in the 3 behind the striker.

He shown glimpses last season, and whilst there are concerns it was a total shitfest at Newcastle and with better players around him he could fulfil the promise he shown at PSV

we have genuine squad depth in attack for once.

Agree about the squad depth but 25 mill for GW is not good value. Just feel he isn't that big an upgrade on what we have. Plus were not in europe so game time could be limited for certain players. Will be interesting to see what happens to certain players e.g Milner, Lallana etc... Will they be happy playing just cup games.

LOL. GREAT shout again. Our business really has been great this summer. With still a lot of outgoing to come and (crosses everything) at least a LB coming in.

You feeling happier on Klopp's vision, short term and the club he's building for the long haul, now than you were a few weeks back?

I see where he's coming from to be fair. His double digits tally is misleading. And he was invisible during the away games in a manner that can't simply be blamed on Newcastle being ****. He will need to get back to his PSV levels sharpish. That starts by putting in a much bigger shift than he did.

PSG mate. They REALLY rich.

Hey, they want to tip up and pay ******* stupid money like Utd are busy throwing around then they can be my guest. £50/60/70 million, I'd snap their hands off. NO player is worth keeping when it get's like that. And when that point happens, if it does, in the future, I think we'll be in a conveyor belt system where we have another quality young talent ready to step up. The way he's always worked. So we aren't left with our pants down like we were over Suarez scrambling round in a window to replace a departure. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see another 'Grujic' bought for buttons and loaned back to Eastern Europe again in January for example.

But until PSG or someone does stump up stupid money, he's going nowhere.
