Yea he's very fast over short distances.
Which is probably the best natural attribute a centre back can hope for.
It means he can close people down during counter attacks (rather than give yards of space in front of him) knowing he can likely catch up with them if they knock the ball behind him.
Just hope he has the balls to toughen up for our league. He and Sakho could be a great combination.
Canos should be moved up to the reserves. Oozes class.
First time I've seen that right back Waldron, where did he come from?
Massive kid, only 17 years old.
Canos is pretty massive as well. What are they feeding them?
Waldron has played a few games this season for the U18s I believe.
I believe you got your names mixed up there. Canos isn't that big... he's a wee kid.
Pretty impressive work there, showing some good anticipation. Could probably benefit from a full season loan out to an English club (hopefully in the Premier League) next season, to get used to the more physical play. Or he could stay and try to play himself into the position ahead of Toure as Skrtel's first backup though I'm not sure that's the best thing for him.
If Derby gets promoted next season, I wouldn't mind us loaning them Wisdom again for the full season (if they want him to stay) so he can get the minutes he needs.
If none of our defenders leave, we'll have 4 senior CBs in the team: Skrtel, Toure, Sakho, Agger, with a couple of "maybes" in Kelly (if he stays and stays fit) and Coates (apparently still has 2 years on his contract). Probably a lot better for the likes of Wisdom and Ilori to go out and play more, especially Ilori, who hasn't played much at the senior level in any country.
The cliched but valid question is: How would he cope with repeated high balls to a giant in a cold wet, windy night in the Brittania?
Definitely signs of what we paid for there though. Could prove to be an excellent acquisition.

He's starting to look like he could be our Rio Ferdinand. He looked dodgy in the air for our reserves though, so that'll need work over the next year or so.
I'm confident Rodgers and his coaching staff can do the needful, given the way they've improved Skrtel (and Agger to some extent) in the air.
sell agger for 12m plus and keep him sakho and skrtel as first choice cbs.
Sakho and Llori future CB pairing...
Everton 0 Liverpool 1 Teixeira assisting Lussey to give us the lead.
I love that they have a player called Dufus (sp?). Life can be cruel.
It's not Duffuses FFS. It's Duffii.

Octopi is also used. Just like hipopotami, cacti, foci, syllabi, ignorami. It just sounds way cooler.
'Doofi'. It's boss.
Calm Down lads!
*Diffuses Duffuses/Duffus dissidence*
Wouldn't know how it sounds, but in some of those cases (I'd explain which ones but I'm guessing folks don't want a Latin lesson here) it's flat wrong.
Doc's right IMHO. When you're using English, keep it English.
