adamoafc Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Very good player. Barnsley forum were saying they should sign him when he was released in the summer. Couple of reels of his play. Looks a very decent addition likes to run at opposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Must mean the end for Connor Brown. And doesn't speak wonders for Josh Law's future either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLegend Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Could mean we'll be seeing more of the 5-3-2 formation then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sounds like a similar player to Dummigan. Welcome to the club Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 A Liverpool supporting mate who is well into the youth team called him "the most exciting youth team product behind Raheem Sterling" and expected him to be Liverpool right back "for a decade". If he shows half of that promise, he'll be a great player here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishblue Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 After joining from Northern Irish Premiership side Glenavon in July 2011, McLaughlin’s breakthrough season came a year later, when he was selected as part of Liverpool’s first-team squad for their pre-season tour of the USA. However, any potential debut was put on hold due to injury, something that turned out to be a regular occurrence throughout his Liverpool career. Former Liverpool right-back Rob Jones, who coached McLaughlin at the Academy described the Northern Irishman as one of the best right-sided players he has ever seen and believed that he will make it if a club gives him a chance. (Lets hope it will be at Oldham) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) A Liverpool supporting mate who is well into the youth team called him "the most exciting youth team product behind Raheem Sterling" and expected him to be Liverpool right back "for a decade". If he shows half of that promise, he'll be a great player here. Excellent accolade and could be a real gem. I just wish you hadn't said your mate was well into the youth team! Does 3-5-2 beckon?

BP1960 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I remember watching a match on the Liverpool TV channel a couple of years ago, he was right wing back then and looked impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If we could get Martis in on the left and another striker in, we might scare a few teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sounds a good prospect for the future once he gets his fitness back. Now for s decent striker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he shows half of that promise, he'll be a great player here. If he shows a fraction of that promise, he'll be sold for £200k to the first bidder.

Midsblue Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Quality player. Very pacey and a great foot on him. Expect some decent delivery from right flank. If we get a striker with same quality then superb...a similar winger on opposite flank then ecstatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
