Martin Lol Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 In the past week Liverpool have signed Mihail Alexandrov, Nikolay Mihailov, Dani Pacheco, Alexander Kacaniklic, Marvin Purie, Mikel San Jose, Krisztian Nemeth and Andras Simon, all aged between 15-18. They won't all make the grade but Rafa is definitely trawling through Europe to enhance the quality of youngsters coming through. http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=474874&CPID=8&clid=14&lid=2&title=Reds+land+another+starlet&channel=football_home Liverpool have continued their youth recruitment drive with another raid on Bulgaria. CSKA Sofia midfielder Mihail Alexandrov has announced that he has agreed a deal to move to Anfield. The 18-year-old told Bulgarian radio that he has already passed a medical with Rafa Benitez's outfit. Alexandrov revealed that he will finish his current youth season with CSKA before linking up with Liverpool. "Everything is done - I've passed a medical, agreed terms, the only thing left is to sign the contract," Alexandrov is quoted in the Bulgarian media. "Even in my most optimistic dreams, I never thought I would move to a club this big." Alexandrov's capture is Liverpool's second raid on Bulgaria following the capture of Levski goalkeeper Nikolai Mihailov last week. In the last week the captures of youngsters Dani Pacheco, Alex Kacaniklic, Marvin Purie, Mikel San Jose, Krisztian Nemeth and Andras Simon have all been confirmed.

Thespence Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 FIFA have regs for signing players under 18 from other countries, it is not allowed. To get round this the clubs do a "Barca" & give or find the parents jobs as FIFA cant stop the likes of Ms Mihailov getting a job at ALDI in Liverpool. Barca found the parents of Messi & Dos Santos (IIRC) jobs, not ALDI in Liverpool though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 We should be doing more of this. I suspect there may be a flipside in years to come though. I can't see local young talent wanting to join an academy full of foreigners plucked from around Europe where their chances might be limited. It's just like young English kids in London know they'd be better off going to West Ham than to Arsenal. Nevertheless the pros far outweight the cons.

Martin Lol Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Great for young english talent Spurs have got 5 1st year Academy players that were in England u16 squads last season, Andros Townsend, Adam Smith, Saulo Asajile, Ryan Mason and Dean Parrett. There's serious optimism about Parrett and Smith but just as easily could be all of them falling by the wayside over the next couple of years.

Thespence Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 We should be doing more of this. I would prefer dabbling in the Argie & Brazilian market place. We would need a agreement with club in either Belgium or Holland for theses lads to play there until they got EU passports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
