Not really a surprise is it? He was always signed with the future in mind and based on his form for us last season he's not ready for regular involvement at that level yet.
Like you say, a loan to a Championship club would be a sensible move for him, although Liverpool may want to keep him at their training ground for a while and have their top coaches work on him. Maybe send him out in January.
RM previously said he was going to be involved this season as CAFC was banking on getting some £££££££ from the add-ons that were part of the transfer deal
[cite]Posted By: sam3110[/cite]Apparently his wages aren't amazing but the signing on fee was enormous, as JJ wanted a big lump sum for a car and house
I heeard he was promised 20 games a season, but due to a misunderstanding it turned Liverpool meant they'd buy him 20 games a season for his Xbox, not start him 20 matches.

I heard he's already fallen out with Hodgson. He prefers the Playstation 3 not the Xbox.
Well as soon as he does feature on a Liverpool subs bench people can have a dig at Parky for not playing him last year and then make some sort of cryptic comment as to why he didn't play as much as everyone thought he would
I heard Hodgson's scared to play him in fear of scuppering his planned move to Real Madrid in January. When you're as cash strapped as Liverpool you just can't risk a deal of that size not going through
I know this isn't going to be popular on here but i really think that although Shelvey and Bailey were the 2 players we got money for, they were also part of the problem last year in that we were always accomodating them into a position, not really knowing where best to play them, particualrly Shelvey. Not saying he won't go on to be a good player but if we took him back on loan i wouldn't see it as a good move for us or him.
[cite]Posted By: Plaaayer[/cite]Thought it was strange Spearing was on the bench ahead of him though? Maybe an injury?
Why is that strange? Spearing is 3 years older and has more experience than Shelvey.
Because they paid over a million for a player that plays in the exact same position as Spearing, which would suggest they don't fancy him much but then put him on the bench ahead of Shelvey, thats why it's strange.

Nothing controversial in that - I agree completely
I wish Jonjo all the best but we have seen the last of him as an Addick. League 1 football is no good for him

Liverpool needed to up the number of English players on their books, that's why the went for JJ. So JJ has got his work cut out to make an impression there.

I'd have to agree with this. They are both good players but I think theor presence did unbalance the team at times last year. Seems like Strachan is having the same problem with Bailey at 'Boro - i.e not knowing his best position.

Let it go
Won't be coming back here anyway.

Do houses have a street value?
