If Liverpool would consider loaning this player out next season we should be first, second and third in the queue. Going to be top drawer.

Two hopes and I believe Bob is dead! Maybe they’ll lend Brewster instead

Could easily see Brewster and Wilson

**** off Lino.
I can't see us signing anyone on loan from another Premier League Club purely because we're not that kind of club anymore. We've got our own state of the art Academy and would rather develop our own stars than help other Premier League teams by developing their players for them, very much like Leeds have done for us this year.
Curtis Jones does look a prospect though, for his sake I hope Klopp gives him sufficient game time.

Because we might not have any ready yet for this season but we could in a years time
We’re not in the Championship anymore.
The club has said repeatedly how vital it is for there to be a pathway for our u23’s. Loaning young players from other teams would be a huge slap in the face of all the work we’re doing at the club to the players and behind the scenes.
We have a ton of talent. Expect more Alzate’s and Connolly’s. Any other incoming young player will likely be a Lamptey type signing.

Anyone remember how Tammy Abraham got on at Swansea?
If you are pinning your hopes on a teenage striker you are asking for trouble. We don't need loan strikers, we need permanent signings that have scored goals in proper leagues.

It’s all about staying in this league for us though. If it’s improving a player for a rival then obviously not a good idea but it’s not.
Say we have £50m to spend, we could get a top loan attacking mid in for est £5m and spend big on a quality striker, or we have to spend on an attacking mid and drop down on a striker. Get the better striker and the quality loan, stay in the league then address the perm attacking mid next summer.

Curtis Jones has already started producing the goods in games against PL opposition. So it’s not a direct comparison with Albion academy players who will be eased into cup games and sub appearances over time.
He’s ready to improve a PL first eleven.

5 goals in 31 games is not excellent, unless you're Tammy's mum.

I’ve had to bite my tongue on some of the opinions on here as I don’t think they quite get how football works...! But yes, you’re right, obviously!
I didnt follow Swansea at the time but when Potter joined and I was hanging out at a Swansea forum, they were pretty much in agreement Abraham was shite.

Only if he‘s a defender?

Yes yes yes. But is he a DEFENDER? Or can he come in and we LOAN him out again? And if he’s got a work permit to play here then frankly I’m not interested.

We need more CB’s, has Curtis Jones played in that position? If so sign him up.
