Potter just signed for 3 more years at Liverpool. This must be a good sign for him that he's still wanted!
(lets not forget Partridge though!) Just hope Potter won't be another case of being happy in the reserves at a big club! I think Potter could come good - give him a year - reckon he needs to build himself up. he plays mostly right wing - so he could be one for the euros 2008!
I think Rafa has shown that he rates him not just as a reserve player but as a first team sqaud member. He has got a couple of useful starts in the CL qualifiers. I think this is a great opportunity for him.
are they both wingers ?
No. Partridge is an out-and-out winger & Potter prefers to play centrally but because Gerrard / Alonso / Hamann have these spots sewn up Potter's recent opportunities have been mainly as a wide midfielder. He looks a much better prospect in the middle in my opinion.
Good to hear potter is more of a central midfielder. We have wingers coming out of our ears. I hope things goes well for him at liverpool. It will be hard to get a place in the first team
i read somewhere that potter said that he considers himself english but was grateful for the oppurtunity...can anyone say they saw this as well or can anyone root it out?
That may have been Anthony Gerrard (Steven's cousin), centre half. He played a few games for one of the underage sides, but when he had to produce documentation proving his eligibility, he couldn't. Doesn't sound like anything I've heard from Potter.Quote:

**edit, i dont watch the u21s. i just checked that out there.
Last summer: "I think they realised that I had Irish grandparents and seeing as nothing had happened with England they approached me. As soon as the opportunity came along I just took it. It's a decision I've never regretted, in fact it's one of the best decisions I have made. I've made two appearances now for the under-21s and hopefully I can add to that."
