Yes i know but you must understand that liverpool did not have 4 quality strikers at that time, they had jokers like titi camara and an injury prone robbie fowler. I do agree if your good enough your old enough, but you have to look at our situation we have a strong midfield and we have a coach that loves to drag players careers on and on and on. By the time josh breaks into our first team jack wilshire will have so much experience that josh could be left behind, which is sad because they will fight for the england shirt. Lionel messi was probably the most talented teenager i have seen only ronaldo (Brazilian) was better, he had a vision for the game that is wayyyyyyyyyyyy ahead of josh. I like josh a lot i think he will be brilliant but he will have to wait because our midfield is fearsome. Cj even mikel when he was 19, he was in the first team playing matches at anfield and old trafford and champions league semi final games, but mikel came into a midfield in were maka was finished ballack was in poor early season form, plus he had unusual strength and ball keeping skills which allowed him to play in big games.
