Ed 01 if you will . I see you mention morton a few times on threads and I haven't seen much of him myself, is he that good or potentially, what is his attributes etc
Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - he is very good technically. He is very fast and has a good brain on him. Also I like that he learns well. One thing I would say he is weak at is heading. I have never seen a player misread the ball in the air as often as he did in one particular game. I can't remember the game but I do remember him misjudging every single header. It was very odd. He has come on in leaps and bounds this season, mostly playing in a holding role, which is something we need cover for. His recovery pace is a particular asset in that position as he can get out to wide areas and get back centrally very quickly to pressure the ball.}

Thanks for sharing Ed. I've never seen him play this season but from what I saw before, I always thought of him as more of a high energy, box-to-box type of midfielder. Kinda interesting that he developed into more of a holding player this season.

{Ed001's Note - he played a few for us as a holding player, but he was still raw and struggled.}

I know a few Blackburn rovers fans (season ticket holders) that say he is atrocious and has by no means played all the games he was available for, for them. Covered at centre back a few times as well. He gets battered on the rovers social media pages and is simply not at a good enough level for Liverpool. I know he is young but so is my son and he won’t be playing for Liverpool anytime soon either.

I look forward to seeing him play. When I last saw him play he didn't look up to standard and I must admit I thought he would be another Woodburn.

I can’t see him playing for our first team next season either Tolk. He was dropped half through the season and started to play again after injuries to others, fingers crossed for the lad but atm he is championship standard.

I saw him play a few games for Blackburn and he was in their top 3 players in every game I saw with Wharton and Brereton-Diaz. He anchored their midfield very well in my opinion and they will probably miss him next season if he doesn't go back.

I'd be happy to have him back as a squad player but we shouldn't be relying on players like Morton and Clarkson to come back and make a difference in my opinion. Our midfield needs first team quality additions. They could maybe replace Arthur and Ox as deep squad options but we need 1st team quality players to replace Milner and Keita.

For example I'd take Connor Bradley back to replace Ramsay in the squad, but if Trent was leaving there is no way I'd be advocating Bradley replaces him after 1 good season in a much weaker league. Same as I won't advocate Morton or Clarkson replace Keita and Milner who were regulars in the starting XI when fit.

Pre season will certainly be interesting and spots are up for grabs. I will be more than happy if one of the youngsters mentioned makes an impact next season.

A bit early to be writing off a 20 yr old, isn't it? I don't think there's any expectation of him coming in and being a first teamer next season; championship standard at that age isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd be more concerned with his potential, ability to learn and improve his game, and attitude over what Blackburn fans (does it matter they're season holders? ) and social media think.

MK, going to be honest, I'd advocate nearly anybody who can play football and actually show some effort more than 4 times in 5 years to replace Keita.

I think out of all our loaned players this season, the guy who I think can break through next season is Bradley at RB. He’s had an excellent season at Bolton and he plays a position that is essentially up for grabs (if Arnold moves into midfield) . Both Bradley and a fully fit Ramsey can save us millions in that position for arguably the next decade.

If Arnold does move into midfield it would give us.

Alexander-Arnold.
Bacjetic.
Henderson.
Fabinho.
Thiago.
Jones.

Before any signings are made.

Needs a PL loan I think. If Fabinho is staying let Morton get 30+ games at a Palace or West Ham rather than a few off the bench for us then come back for the following season if he does well.

I’ve seen him live a couple times. He won’t get in the team.
