Liverpool 2011/2012 squad

The state of the squad as it stands today.  Suspect there will be a few comings and goings.  Currently we could fit everybody on the books into the Premier League squad list barring two senior players.  To be honest there are a couple of players in this category that would not be missed to much by the fans if they were left off. In the example, El Zhar and Insua are the odd men out.

Players in italics are on loan/likely to go out on loan

Consult wikipedia if you want to go further down the rabbit hole of U16s that would technically be eligible, the ones I hear the most hype about are the new signings O'Hanlon and Jones as well as Sinclair and Williams.  On a further youth note, I couldn't find birthdays for Baio, Gainford, Quirk, Wearing, and Wilson so I just threw them all in as 1995, I'm sure some of them are 1994, but their listed youth cup eiligibility dates should be more or less correct.  It was difficult finding confirming info on the status of Nacho, Marco Bueno, Marc Pelosi, and Villiyan Bijev.  Since his trial ended I have seen Nacho play for the U18s so the reports of him signing are likely to be true (still would like some D.O.B. info).  Haven't seen Pelosi or Bueno in a youth kit yet, so I will hold off in putting them on.  Bijev is reportedly on loan to Racing Genk for a year until his Bulgarian passport is good enough to get him a work permit in the UK, that means that he is likely to never actually play in an academy league match for Liverpool, maybe he will feature in next years, NextGen U19 if LFC participate again.

An explanation of the color coding if you couldn't figure it out:
Not going to make it
Small Chance of making it
Decent Chance of making it
Good Chance to make it
Currently proving that they can make it/have made it

Just because I colored someone yellow doesn't mean I don't rate them, its just a simple fact that not everybody can make it
