Beginning to like the way Rafa is influencing the youth setup at Liverpool. The academy is restructuring and that has to be a good thing as it wasn't producing a lot in recent years.

Besides those already mentioned it seems we have also signed 16 year old Pacheco from Barca and 18 year old San Jose from Bilbao.

The new recruits aren't all Spanish either but are coming from Sweden, Hungary, Bulgaria and South America.

While I'm still patiently waiting for that first big name signing to arrive, I'm glad to see Rafa is looking well ahead by working with the youths. Something Houllier really failed badly at for me.
