Rafa signs more youngsters
We have today completed the signings of Besian Idrizaj & Ramon Calliste. This brings the tally of young talent acquired this summer to six.
Idrizaj is 17 and is Austria's current young player of the year, and has signed a two-year deal with the European Champions after recently enjoyed a trial spell at Melwood. The boyhood Liverpool fan is an attacking midfielder and has signed from Linzer ASK in the Austrian league. Idrizaj is delighted with the move and said: "I have always been a Liverpool fan and it is a dream come true to play for them. "If you get a chance to go to Liverpool on trial then you have to take it. You cannot ingore a trial with the reigning Champions League winners. I would even have swam across the channel just to take part." Striker Ramon Calliste, 19, is a Wales Under-21 international and he has signed a one-year deal with Liverpool. He was released by Man U at the end of last season and impressed Liverpool during his recent trial scoring for the reserves against Newcastle last week.
Hopefully Calliste will be as successful for us as John O'shea has been for Man U after being released by Liverpool. We may be struggling with higher profile signings but at least Rafa is doing his best to secure a successful future.

becoming a bit tired of hearing about new youngsters we are signing that we are never likely to see play in the first team! what happened to the all essential right winger and defender that we need?!?!
we need a hungry reserve side that has the pottential to step in when needed like Arsenal do... seems Rafa is aiming at this due to the fact that we dont have Chelski's resources... We do need a RW and a pacey CB before tomorrow night and I just hope these two signings are just appetisers for the main course tomorrow. Solano and Mexes maybe?
sounds about right although not sure about getting mexes
