Do you think they're that bright? I reckon they just must be thick as shit and they can't think of anything else to write.

I sincerely hope he’s as good the hype and he does save us £70m. 
 

Hopefully more.

Feels like he's gonna be a good Pro but this isn't some Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney kind of player he isn't going to be a star but by all accounts he's the potential to be a really good player.. if like Henderson he puts the work in and football is everything not like Pogba type pricks where pogba is everything and they forget what it was that made them love the sport so much they became elite enough to reach this level. I've probably just heard to much hype over the years at our club for players who just vanished.

If he shows a really high level with us this season he'd be on track with the Wayne Rooney type wunderkinds. He's only 18.

I think it’s harsh comparing him to Owen & Rooney. They were both phenomenon’s & international quality by the time they were 16. Completely out the ordinary.

 

History has much more players like Gerrard, Carra, Trent & Jone who made their debuts at 18 / 19 and then kicked on. 
 

If Elliot can match any Gerrard, Carra or Trents careers (Trent has lots to come & Jones is TBC) then we’d all be delighted. 
 

I realise matching those 3 is still an immensely tall order.

Putting Gerrard in with those others is off kilter. Trent may get towards or hit the levels Gerrard did, but there’s 10 solid top level years to get though first. There was loads of expectation on him as well - they were comparing him to Keane and vieira when he was a teenager. Absolutely doesn’t belong in that group

I don’t know why we don’t get Edwards to just legally adopt them at 15.

 

It’d save an awful lot of fucking around and money.

I'm not comparing to him to Owen or Rooney I literally said this isn't some Owen or Rooney. He doesn't have to be either, Gerrard wasn't impactful as Owen or Rooney as young but he was a superior player to both, the most all round complete package this country has produced.

 

No take backs.

Maybe you’re right. I can’t fully remember. I just remember him having growing pains and a growth spurt and they were holding him back for a period.

Gerrard did have his injury problems as a youngster and he was deliberately held back a bit as he lacked quite a bit of discipline to go with his talent too. But Houllier played a blinder with Gerrard by both surrounding him with experienced players to learn from such as Hamann and Gary Mac and not bowing to the pressure of overplaying him as a youngster,which occurs a lot with talented young players.

He looks like a player now without that shit bun.

Not sure I agree with all of that mate. Houllier played him when he was fit and available. His time spent out was when he was having those growing pains as mentioned, but he also suffered a lot of muscle injuries in those early days. His first season where he was introduced to the first team aside, he was a 30 gamer there or there about every year, starting most games.

If you are good enough, you are old enough.

 

For example Emile Heskey was scoring goals in the top flight at 18....he was no 'superstar' though....OK there are plenty of examples of players who have good and even great careers who aren't doing it at such a young age, but for me if this lad is going to be a star then the next two years you'd like to think we see green shoots and who knows maybe he can be close to doing an Owen or a Rooney.

 

Getting the game time is going to be difficult though with us.

He played 31 times for us in the season where at the end of it he turned 20.

 

He also made 13 appearances the one before where at end of it he turned 19.

 

I always think the narrative around him and being held back/injured etc is a bit overplayed.

 

He of course them went on to be playing 50 games a season before he was 21.
