Liverpool were in search of a top quality playmaker in the summer transfer window but were not successful in bringing one.
They were eagerly interested in Mkhitaryan, Willian and others but in the end had to settle with a decent loan signing of Victor Moses.
More importantly, they loaned arguably the biggest young talent in their squad, Suso to Almeria. The Spaniard played 14 league games for the Reds last season and showed glimpses of immense quality and Liverpool will have the sensational superstar back next summer.
Rodgers signed Brazilian Phil Coutinho last winter who quickly became a major hit at Anfield and is still the first choice. Inevitably, Suso was loaned out to gain more experience as a player of his talent needed.
Since moving to Almeria, the 19 year old boy has absolutely taken La Liga by storm.
Although, the Spanish club is currently placed 17th in the league, Suso is the main man who is leading the side and perhaps is the club’s only hope of survival this season.
His stats are no less than amazing. Almeria has scored 15 goals in 13 league games and Suso has directly contributed in 7 of them, scoring a superb goal and providing no less than 6 assists.
Only, Koke, Neymar and Fabregas have set up more goals than Suso. His more experienced team mates look up to him who is playing with amazing maturity.
Ability to hold the ball under pressure, dribble, providing the killer pass and determination of the highest order of helping his team makes him invaluable.
The best part for Liverpool football club is that Suso claimed that he had bigger offers from Germany but wanted to stay attached to Reds.
His final passes have provided regular goals for a weak side like Almeria. Imagine him ripping defenses alongside Coutinho for Suarez and Sturridge, Reds can surely cause havoc.
All the talk about how brilliant German upcoming youngsters are, the Spaniard is not going to be ignored. Suso is indeed a special talent.

Texiera is even better than Suso and we are ruining him.
Pull yer ead in!
Texiera seems to be coming along nicely. A promising talent but still adapting to living and playing in England. His time, like Suso, will hopefully come.
Suso, however, has been a mainstay of Spain’s youth sides, been toughened up here and is now reaping the rewards from regular game time in a league he knows – Almeria against Real Madrid is coming up which will be a great test for him.
He is streets ahead in his development and I personally think a better alL round player than Texiera. Looking forward to seeing Suso next season and hopefully Texiera will have joined the first team.
your so wrong its dumb-founding.
he’s that “that good” that even Brentford sent him back. looks like the lad will be another Pacheco, plenty of potential but too arrogant to try to improve
i hope i am wrong and i hope it does turn around for him, he is still only young and plenty of time to grow and learn, Sturridge being an excellent example of that.
Ref: Liverpool Fc in the top four?
LFC is aiming at top ‘four ‘ places , but LFC has done basic mistakes when playing another ‘top four’ contender,eg Arsenal, When playing against a’ top four’ contender ‘away’ , LFC must firstly ensure not losing the match. The match, at Arsenal was allowed to be too ‘open’ and LFC played in the hand of Arsenal!.Playing on home ground is another issue. But to achieve ‘top four’ we need to collect even one point on opponent ground.
Food for thought !!!!
Well Philip, the top four finish does not depend on one game, home or away! let’s wait and see shall we!!
Top talent..needs to bulk up for the Prem, we just need another striker and our attacking options look good- Loic Remy will be available for a reasonable outlay! Another point with reference to Luis Suarez..I hope FSG make it clear to Real Madrid that if they want him next season they must not sell Benzema to Arsenal..That would make no sense!
@ philip W: Agreed your point met, considering a top 6 clash works as potential 6 pointer, so probably away draw is equal to a win. However, I think that day LFC’s strategy was not wrong – Arsenal was leading the table & we could have toppled them with an away win. LFC was also unlucky for the perfect goal being disallowed, otherwise from 1-1 it could have gone either way. Still, if we can reach half way point (Dec end, 19 matches) with 38+ points, we ‘ll have easier second half (home matches against Arsenal, MCity, Chelsea, Everton, Spurs & NC) & if FSG spends another 35mn in Jan, i am sure we ‘ll end up higher than MU, Spurs & may be even Arsenal.
@LFC_Fan n Phil I agree with ur views.But d absence of both Enrique n Johnson killed our game plan against Arsenal given d formation we played.I’m sure it won’t continue.Fen Way can’t dish out 35m but I hope 4 15-20m.that can get real 2 talents in d AM n DM.I’m sure if we drew 2,win 1 n lose 1 of d aways 2 everton,man city,chelsea n spurs then we had started.When all players r fit lfc will do well.
I sincerly believe LFC will do well this season judging by the progress so far. BR only needs to address the attaking department by adding just one striker and a creative midfielder.
The likes of Metroglour and any of Koke/Pastor/Cabaye are wellcome but not Will Hughes.
