In news that never will have troubled the headline writers, Ben Woodburn has been sent on loan to Sheffield United, while Harry Wilson will also spend a year at Championship level with Derby County. It's been a while now since both youngsters were first touted as Liverpool's next big thing and almost two years since Woodburn scored his one and only first-team goal, becoming their youngest ever goalscorer.
Loan deals smack of the shop window, not very auspicious when it comes to a player's long-term prospects at a club. It doesn't seem likely now that either player will become stars at Anfield.
