    Sanchez is not a prospect, he is already one of the best forwards in the world.
    Okay then wise one

    You're taking the piss, right?

    *Just noticed your name, 'Afootballmug'. How fitting.
    Flanagan is 17.. already has premier league experience

    Kelly is proving himself time and again

    Coates.. fair enough I have little proof. I'm just biased.

    Henderson.. plays the game simply.. but is clearly a top player for his age and will only improve. He was picked only last week at one of top young players in the world... above Welbeck.

    Carroll.. he's not been good this year. But this guy terrorised the league last year.. and it's only a matter of time.

    Carroll is built for the premier league and England.. it's just a question as to whether he's built for Liverpool.

    Coming from a neutral perspective and not including the ones who have yet to make any impact at all i.e Raheem Sterling etc

    1 - Jack Wilshere
    2 - Mario Balotelli
    3 - Phil Jones
    4 - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
    5 - Kyle Walker
    6 - David De Gea
    7 - Aaron Ramsey
    8 - Chris Smalling
    9 - Wojciech Szczęsny
    10 - Tom Cleverley

    Definitely not the best prospects at the club tbh, Sergi roberto, Rafinha (thiagos brother), Samper, Dongou, Grimaldo are probably the 5 biggest prospects. Thiago I already consider to be in the first team, Tello is definitely a hot prospect too. Montoya is a beast but I can see him wanting to leave to get first team football at some point I hope he stays thugh as he ould definitely be the first choice right back for a long time after alves. Dont really see Dos santos or Fontas having much of a future at the club, Dos santos is just less talented than the likes of thiago whilst being older as well. Muniesa and Bartra are the 2 young CB's that may make it, the only reason fontas is in the first team is age, really.
    You forgot Gerard Deulofeu

    lol, one of the worst defences in the league?

    do you watch much football apart from the top 4?
    I guess I was a bit mean, Most awful in the top 10.

    True story, look it up.

    Some players take time, the quality is obviously there... like there was with Lucas.

    Time will tell.
