gator Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Objectively I think QPR would be a very good move for him, there is an opportunity to play immediately, Mark Warburton has been good at using and developing young talent and The Championship is one of the most competitive leagues in the world from top to bottom!

I second that. Keep the Canadian connection going at QPR. At the very least I think he should play in the Championship. Holland would be okay, but it's arguably a step down outside of Ajax and maybe PSV. He has 6 different clubs from the Championship after him, so guaranteed that one of them are offering him boat loads of playing time. If that's QPR then all the better. If all things are equal regarding playing time, choose the better league. Blackburn could be good for him too as it would keep him relatively close to Liverpool geographically. So too would Stoke, but that may be a tougher team to get into. He needs to play regardless of where he ends up.

apbsmith Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 No harm in sharing a link, thx for sharing it for the CMNT supporters. Football Insider is usually fairly reliable. Something to be said to have that many clubs having registered interest. Nice to see Liverpool wanting to hold onto him also. Agree with article, has impressed in his recent outings ( yes I know just U23, but still looked hungry and ready to ball). Hoping he lands somewhere where he can slot right into consistent minutes. Liverpool is a class organization, so I'm sure that is being evaluated and important. Exciting days ahead. johnyb, CANMNT_SUPERFAN, Mikmacdo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer21 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hopefully he lands at a club that gives him playing time and allows him to play free, attacking football. I'm sure he and his family will be mindful of this after being stuck in a rigid, defensive system at Kilmarnock. It would be great for his career to start scoring and assisting goals in a competitive league. I kind of hope he ends up in Netherlands for this reason, although I admittedly don't know anything about Zwolle's system. I just know the reputation the Eredivisie has for development, and that the Championship can be a very tough, physical league like Scotland, albeit at a considerably higher level of play.

Unnamed Trialist Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think he has to judge where they want him most, and I imagine that amongst many suitors there are always those that are just hedging their bets and have a list of half a dozen to pick up on loan, and others which have actually looked at their roster, that player, and have a clear idea for Liam. This you can gauge. That said, no matter what the club, the manager is in charge and you can never have minutes ensured anywhere. You have to train and play to be on the pitch if that is where you want to be. That is why I am in favour of any deal where Liverpool or his agent require some sort of penalization clause if he doesn't get minutes. For what it is worth.

That's why I hope he goes to a club that the manager knows who he is and wants him to fit into the style of play he's trying to implement, and not just looking for a player to fill a need. Watching all these football documentaries, it's interesting to see the amount of managers who don't have a say on who comes in, and without contractual obligations for the players - they end up just being a squad player.

When Klopp first arrived at Liverpool, he was adamantly opposed to loaning young players out to other clubs. He preferred that they stayed home to develop and learn to play Liverpool's style of football. He's evolved over the past few years to allow some loans. However, he does insist on such clauses penalizing the loan club if the player doesn't get certain amounts of minutes. It'll be great if that happens in Liam's move in the next few days.

Great to hear. At Liam's age he has to play and be challenged, and big clubs have so much youth talent they have to loan. IMO. Dortmund is still a club developing players but not with the reserves a club like Liverpool has. baulderdash77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Mark Warburton, he has been very good at playing and developing young talent and tries to play an attacking posession based brand of football!

toontownman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Zwolle, then QPR would be my preference but really wherever he gets games is the best option. It is good they are still looking at a loan for him and maybe not ready to cut losses yet. Shway, N1ckbr0wn, apbsmith and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Hoping Zwolle as the Eredivisie has a solid track record in developing attacking players for the major leagues. Zwolle plays an attacking 433 like most of the clubs in the Netherlands. Edited October 2, 2020 by shamrock toontownman and Bertuzzi44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there might still be a provision which allows loan moves between Premier League teams and teams lower down the English pyramid. If not, less than 90 days until the winter window opens!
