Eds, any idea what the club have planned for young Brewster? Be nice to see him on the bench perhaps at some point or are we liklely to lose him to another club soon?

{Ed002's Note - He is just a kiddie who still attends school and cannot be loaned out. There are clubs interested in taking him when he turns 18. The club will want to keep him.}

Thanks Ed002. Just thinking how Fowler and Owen were first team regulars at a similar age and wondering if Brewster may end up making a career elsewhere if we don't give him a first team opportunity soon.

{Ed002's Note - You think Liverpool should start playing a 17 year old so he doesn't leave for a career elsewhere? Other clubs play kids when they see that they are ready to step up - I would be surprised if Liverpool started to play them just to keep them happy.}

Very good player but miles away from being ready, u23's are his level for now. let him get used to that level first. He might be ready for a few appearances in the cups next season but he looks the part. great group the u18's this year.

Bit harsh Ed002, was only pointing out that we never used to be afraid of using a young player - if he's really not ready for the 1st team yet then fair enough but if other clubs are sniffing around then perhaps they do think he's ready and if that's the case it would be stupid of Liverpool to let him walk away without having given him a chance.

{Ed002's Note - As long as the club are happy to take a risk over results they can play who ever they want.}

What clubs? he's 17.he would struggle for game time in the Championship never mind the Premier League. Juventus have been mentioned on here but does anyone think with the forwards they have that Brewster would be any better off there?

{Ed002's Note - And Dortmund - try the search engine.}

Same applies to them as Juve, would be well down the pecking order. Young Sancho isn't exactly getting much gametime there is he.

{Ed002's Note - You don’t understand.}

Same as Juve at Dortmund. just look at Sancho.

Enlighten me.

{Ed002's Note - Clubs look around to find the young talent - Dortmund have approach sera English sides about play. Whilst the Liverpool fans think just about all of theiir players are rubbish, other clubs don’t and both are able to provide players with a planned development path something Liverpool Dre unable to do.}

Surely it comes down to the lads attitude. If he has a good head on his shoulders and realises that he needs to learn his trade and wait for his opportunity when it comes, then he'll be fine at Liverpool for a while yet. If he gets to an age where he feels ready for the next step but doesn't see himself getting at here, then he has a decision to make. That decision is surely a few years down the track.

{Ed002's Note - He’s already moved once to because the opportunities might be better. Why do you think he left Chelsea after 7 years or whatever.}

World of differene between Liverpool and Chelsea. young players just don't get a chance there whereas Klopp has proved himself to be a great manager for young players to be around. just look at Solanke, highly rated by everyone in football yet going nowhere at Chelsea, a couple of months at Liverpool he's starting merseyside derbies and getting in England squads.

I’m not a Chelsea fan but some they have the best youth set up imo you just need to look at some other the growing coming through.

I agree with you Big Emre regarding their futures. Mourinho was the biggest culprit for not promoting the youth.

It's also worth pointing out that when the likes of Owen and Fowler were coming through, anyone could choose to leave school the second they hit 16 in principal. Now they have to remain in education at least part time until they are 18. Together with the UEFA (FIFA? ) rules about the contracts young players are allowed, it is pointless comparing today with the start of the PL era, it's just too different legally to matter.
