Looks like he could be on his way

WTF ?
Another loan deal ? Would it not make more sense to bring the lad back and see if he can do the job for us instead ? We know we need a striker FFS !

Nemeth sold

Olympiakos have confirmed the signing of Liverpool striker Krisztian Nemeth.

The Hungarian was on loan at rivals AEK Athens last season scoring three goals in 17 games and has sufficiently impressed the Greek giants.

The 21-year-old, who was heavily linked with a move to the club throughout the summer, follows in the footsteps of Albert Riera, who moved to the Karaiskakis Stadium in July from Merseyside.

Nemeth moves in a 1.3million euro deal, with the Reds set to take 25% of a sale should the striker move on and will undergo a medical on Saturday.

"Olympiakos C.F.P announces a deal with Liverpool for the acquisition of Hungarian international player, Krisztian Nemeth, who will sign a three-year contact with the club," the Piraeus team announced.

Another "hot prospect" sold before making a dent/start in the 1st XI

[Benny The Noon]

Nemeth has finally gone - his agent has stated he was sold for financial reasons and not because manager thought he wasnt good enough

[Raoul]

Such a shame we only won 1-0, I'd have liked to see Pacheco starting tonight, but not sure that is such a good idea given the narrow lead and the situation. I guess he'll be on the bench again, but hopefully Roy will be able to give him a good 20 minutes or so.

[Owzat]

He'll come on after 70 mins when we're 0-9 down!

Does anyone know were Pacheco is? 

I thought he was doing quite well at the start of the season, particularily in the Europa league.  I heard he had a terrible game against Northampton and hasn't been included in the squad since.

Ive also heard that Roy wants to turn him into a winger and that he needs to work on his pace. (is that even possible).

This kid will leave soon if he cant even get into the squad and i think he is too good of a talent to lose.  He probably would of being more suitable than Shelvey the other night against Wigan.

[Tim LFC]

Well the reserves coach said they're working on him turning into a winger. NESV won't let the lad go cause he's young and has a bright future, they'd probably tell Hodgson to play him if he wanted to leave.

[Red-er-Dare]

I also heard they were retraining Pacheco to be a winger and I must admit I was dissheartened to hear this. It's definately an English 'thing' I reckon where we have young kids with skill and ability to burn and tend to coach it out of them to suit the industrious nature of the English game. I'm not suggesting the coaching staff are coaching anything out of him, although it could be possible. But it must be annoying for a player like Dani to have a new manager come in and say ''right, I think you'll be better off at this... we'll get practising and training you do do this... instead of this...''. The kid has ability, give the kid a chance to shine through his natural game before coming in like a bull in a China shop and changing things.

Pacheco wants to leave


Dani Pacheco was told by Roy Hodgson that he would be included in his plans, and the fact that the Spanish youngster has spent three years at Anfield, qualifying him as a `home-grown` talent helped him secure a professional contract at Liverpool. However, after failing to be selected by Hodgson, Pacheco wishes to leave Liverpool. Real Sociedad had wanted to take Pacheco on loan last summer.

As i said in the other thread, it'll be a shame if he leaves.  Him and Nemeth have been our most talented youngsters for the last few years.

[Redangel]

We're supposed to be focusing on bringing young talent through but unless we shape up and at least give them a chance none of them will want to stay.

Hope he can be persuaded to stay but if not can't say I blame him. He must feel if he can't get a chance with the way we're playing at the moment he'll never get one. He's not even been on the bench !!

We're supposed to be focusing on bringing young talent through but unless we shape up and at least give them a chance none of them will want to stay.

Surely they have to shape up first?

[Redangel]

By shape up , I meant the club needs to decide if we really are going to pursue a youth policy and give talented youngsters a chance , or are we going to let them go and see another team benefit from our work !

I don't think for one minute that he would be homesick if he'd been given a chance.

Whatever you think of him Ryan Babel has had more than a fair chance , let's just be equitable.
If he's not up to it , then at least we know , but for God's sake let's find out first !!
