Good post BT. I posted this on the other forum last week after watching JQ at AFCB in the Caraboa Cup.
“I’m just back from watching Quansah help Liverpool get into the quarterfinals of the Caraboa Cup. In terrible conditions he did very well. He looked comfortable on the ball and played out from the back on several occasions with good passes. AFCB not the best PL side but he handled everything they threw at him tonight and despite losing AFCB played very well. So well done to him.
Keeping to the OP, the loan with us last season was beneficial to everyone, us, Liverpool and Quansah.”
It wasn’t completely agreed with! Some thought he should have been better and that his loan wasn’t beneficial to us. Oh well, different opinions eh?
Now, Klopp trusts him and has played him in several cup competitions. I think Klopp playing him shows that his time with us was beneficial to Liverpool which is good for us in that the big clubs ‘trust’ us with their youngsters. I hope that continues despite JBs exit.
UTG!

Former Bristol Rovers loanee makes admission on integration into Liverpool's first-team..By Daniel Hargravesi2-prod.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/article8431351.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200e/0_JMP_Lincoln_City_v_Bristol_Rovers_RS_094JPG.jpgWhen Jarell Quansah's loan spell at Bristol Rovers ended at the end of last season, I don't think there were many who expected the young defender to go on and do what he's done this season back at his parent club Liverpool. Quansah played 16 games in League One last term but his spell in BS7 coincided with Rovers' poor form during the second half of the season which saw Joey B*****'s side win just four of their final 20 league games. The 20-year-old has benefitted from the Reds failing to sign a centre-back, playing nine matches so far this season for Jurgen Klopp's side. The German is understood to have been seriously impressed by the centre-back during pre-season and has integrated him into the Liverpool first-team. Last week Quansah thought he had scored his first goal for the Reds in the Europa League against Toulouse but saw it ruled out by VAR. Currently on England U21s duty alongside on-loan Rovers goalkeeper Matt Cox, the 20-year-old spoke openly about his unpredictable start to the campaign, saying to the Liverpool Echo and other media outlets: "You can look at that both ways, can’t you? ‘Surprised’ could be deemed as an interesting word, but I think the way he (Klopp) means it, I wasn’t really expected to be there yet. i2-prod.bristolpost.co.uk/incoming/article8912827.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_GettyImages-1746834211.jpg“I don’t think it was a surprise of, I’ve trained with them before and I’m not a good player. I think it was how soon it came and how I’ve dealt with the adversity that I have been thrown into. I wouldn’t say it was a surprise as in if he thought I was going to be a good player or not, because I’ve shown that before in training sessions. “It’s probably not expected from going from a loan at Bristol Rovers to straight into the first team, and do as well as I did I think. That’s where the surprise came from. “So no (this season hasn’t exceeded expectations), because no-one has said Jarell Quansah is one of the best players in the world yet. No-one’s said he’s a top centre-back, no-one’s said he’s all this. “So until I’m regarded as at least one of the best players in the Premier League, then there is no reason for me to sit on what I’ve got and go, ‘oh, yeah, I’ve played nine games for Liverpool.’ That’s never been the end goal.”

Former Bristol Rovers loanee becomes a Liverpool goal scorer in Europe..i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/article30955213.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_GettyImages-1483117903.jpgThere are very few collaborations in football more iconic than Liverpool and European competition which puts former Bristol Rovers loanee Jarell Quansah in an exclusive club as a goal scorer for the Reds in Europe. Having seen a late equaliser against Toulouse ruled out by VAR last month, Quansah managed to score his first senior goal on Thursday night away at Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League with a composed finish in the area following a corner. The centre-back's rise continues to impress Gasheads who, I'm sure most will admit, didn't expect to see Quansah become as involved for Jurgen Klopp's side as he has been this season after an indifferent loan spell in League One last season. Starting 15 league matches in third tier under former manager Joey B*****, the 20-year-old struggled at times although his spell did also coincide with the fact that Rovers had a poor second half of that campaign as the youngster played in just two victories. Speaking post-match after the 2-1 defeat, Klopp continued to rave about his young defender who has now made 12 appearances for the Reds this term, stating: "He deserves it. He's a top talent and will be a really good player. I'm really happy for him that he can get these kind of experiences. It's super important for us, obviously, we need him. Tonight was another step for him."

Jarell Quansah becomes latest Liverpool youngster to sign strict 'car clause' in contract..by Josh O'Brien.
Jarell Quansah is the most recent Liverpool star to sign a 'car clause' in his contract - something all young players at the club are required to do.
The 20-year-old central defender has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Anfield, having made 14 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool so far this term. However, the club are doing all they can to ensure Quansah's feet remain firmly on the ground if this contract clause is anything to go by.
As revealed by club academy director Alex Inglethorpe, Liverpool have implemented a strict policy that forbids the younger players in and around the first team from arriving at training in flashy vehicles. Inglethorpe explained why the rule is in place while speaking to the We Are Liverpool podcast.
"There's a balance, so what we now do is that the players sign up to a car clause. You don't want them driving in with a Range Rover," he explained. "The reason you don't want them driving in with something which is too big, too grand, too much of a statement is because it's not just the manager and staff that might have an opinion on you but it's the senior players.
"I'm not sure that James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, the first cars they drove, there would've been an element of humility and I use it in a presentation with the boys. "You can't go into a race you're never going to win, I don't mean with the car, I mean with life, you can't think 'I am a first-team player because I have a better car'.
"We could afford to pay them more but we don't because I don't think that would be right, there's something around deferred gratification than instant, you should earn it a little bit and the players know if we don't approve of their car, they can park it in the David Lloyd [Gym] car park but it won't be in the Academy. I don't want to be an idiot about it but I don't want them to work 10 years for an audition and fail it before they've even set foot on the pitches."
Quansah has been the subject of praise for his mentality in recent weeks, after his comments about taking Joel Matip's place in the side following the Cameroon international's injury.
The young centre-back made clear he was looking to take advantage of Matip's lengthy absence, telling LFC TV: "At the start of the season when I’ve stayed and not gone on loan I thought I want to play in these games.
"So obviously, it’s a shame what happened to Joel and my condolences go to him. But my idea was to try and get over him anyway and try and be a starting centre-back in the Premier League."

Alex Inglethorpe turned down the chance of becoming our manager when he was managing Exeter City. in your experience, what do managers think about the prospect of managing Rovers sdg - there is always a long queue, given the jobs-to-hopefuls ratio, and the 'potential' of the club and volume of the crowd must be a pull, but surely they must fear being next in a very long line of 'treadwaters'? (sounds a bit harsh, but as the David Goldthingy says 'Bristol is the Bermuda triangle of footballing success') |

(sounds a bit harsh, but as the David Goldthingy says 'Bristol is the Bermuda triangle of footballing success') I can only speak for those who wanted the job and they were all very keen. No idea why those who didn't want it didn't apply.  Those who hadn't worked in the area before were shocked at how difficult it is to get new players to move to the the Bristol area. It really is a thing. |

Same sort of thing in Australia where it'sm much harder for A-League teams in Perth or Adelaide to attract players. Although in these cases both cities are very boring and over a day's car ride from the next city.
I often wonder whether footballers want to play football or just want to live as a footballer. If it's the former why would Bristol Rovers be a bad choice - haven't we always paid relatively well for the division.
