Well good luck to him. If he did return to us the advantages would be he knows the team, seems well liked and ought to be better next time around. The disadvantages being we don’t know quite how to fit him in the team and he drifts in and out too much to be a central (key) player.

In a sense it feels like Jerome Sinclair all over again. He’d do well here if he stayed fit - and he really needs a good full season under his belt. High risk going abroad. Though it’s proven a great proving ground for some others in the past few years.

We had Les Phillips, Micky Lewis and Martin Gray who were no taller and managed to do pretty well in midfield. The constant talk of his height is a little childish!

It is but you’d be wrong to think physical presence isn’t a real consideration when signing a player. A manager would happily go with a three man midfield of six footers but no way would he go with three at 5’6”.

If he doesnt come back the loan will go down as one that didnt live up to expectations for several reasons. Wherever he ends up, for his career‘s sake, he cant afford it to happen again.

He'd fit in well in Germany, but I'm not sure Düsseldorf is the right team for him. Good luck to him anyway...

Every time I read about Woodburn I’m reminded of the Roofe scenario. There will come a time and soon when he realises dropping down to make a new start is better than pinning hopes of making it at Liverpool. I do mean that with respect btw.

Kelly is 5 foot 4! Les was 5 8 and I think Mickey was 5 6

According to Wikipedia, Liam Kelly is 1.78m tall which equates to 5ft 10in on my tape measure. So who is exaggerating or is it Wikipedia?

That’s really weird, when I look him up I get 1.63 or 5 4! Which is I think the true figure, having seen him
