Hi Eds. A question or two about Grujic, if I may. Is there still genuine hope that he will make it into a first team regular?

I understand the need to get him games on loan, for permit issues as well as personal development and I think the loan was a good idea, for all parties. Also, regardless of what he was told about game time that he hasn't had, he was clearly earmarked as a star of the future. With the uncertainty over Can's future, and the need to bolster the midfield do you think Grujic will have the ability to step up in the near (ish) future?

One more. Yesterday he was deployed as a defensive midfielder for Cardiff. Will Klopp or anyone at Liverpool have had an influence on where/ how they want him to play as well as how much?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what Liverpool expect but his family are far from happy. He was a young player who was offered too much money by the club who then lied to get him a work permit. There has been no plan for his development at all and it would be fair to say he has been entirely mismanaged by the club.}

It seems the only plan we had for Grujic was pre season game involvement. Hardly inspiring.

Ok cheers ed. Well hopefully there's a way back for everyone. Would love him to succeed. He's looked pretty good whenever I've seen him.

He had injuries and is way too robust with challenges but he should have been given more opportunities too. The loan will be good for him either way.

I agree Amerigo, I think there may have been an initial plan - he was certainly getting games pre-season but injuries have robbed him of time to get experience and consistency. in that time others have come in and pushed him further down the pecking order unfortunately. he needs a loan as he looks further away than ever to the 1st team right now.
