He can and probably will play in midfield according to the OS (the "can" bit, I added the probably)

I've never heard of him playing in midfield for Liverpool,not sure where the OS have got that from:icon_conf If we need a midfielder then WTF don't we loan a Midfielder and not a Centre Half ?

Maybe he is deemed as a defender/midfielder in which case we have?

But he isn't,he's a Centre Half,I see and know quite a bit about Liverpool fc..he's a Centre Half

Just like Worley is then.

Whilst I think it's a great signing I'm worried what sort of message it sends to the squad.

good up and coming player

To be honest watching the interview with him he does keep referring to himself as a centre half, so I will accept defeat on this one, was just playing devils avocado

Hobbs Wings In

Posted on: Fri 25 Jul 2008
Talented teenage defender Jack Hobbs has become Leicester City's sixth signing of the summer.


The 19-year-old, who can also operate in midfield, has joined on a season-long loan deal from Premier League giants Liverpool.


He joins fellow new boys Michael Morrison, Lloyd Dyer, Nicky Adams, Aleksandar Tunchev and Kerrea Gilbert at the Walkers Stadium and is delighted to be here.


He said: "I am really pleased to have signed and can't wait to get started.


"Liverpool have some world-class centre-backs so I spoke to the boss and he said I was free to go out on loan and gain some experience.


"Leicester showed their interest and I had no hesitation in coming here.


"This is a massive club with a good manager and top class Premier League facilities.


"I now want to start playing and get to know the lads. I can assure everyone that I will be giving 100 per cent.


"I want to help this club get back to the Championship at the first time of asking," he added.


Hobbs joined the Reds from Lincoln City in August 2005 on his 17th birthday.


The youngster had played just three minutes of professional football for the Imps before Rafa Benitez swooped.


Hobbs was made captain of the Reserves during his first season on Merseyside and was also a key part of the FA Youth Cup winning side of 2006.
On Saturday, April 28, 2007 he was named amongst the substitutes for the first time in Liverpool's Premier League encounter against Portsmouth at Fratton Park, but did not make it onto the field of play.


The tall defender went on to represent England Under-19s at the end of the 2006/07 campaign before making his senior debut as a last minute substitute during a 4-2 Carling Cup win at Reading on September 25, 2007.


Hobbs later made his full debut against Cardiff City in the Carling Cup and turned in an impressive performance.


His first appearance in the Premier League came when he replaced Jamie Carragher after 51 minutes in the 4-0 victory against Bolton on December 2.


A week later he started a league match for the first time, away at Reading.


On January 24 this year, Hobbs joined Scunthorpe United for the remainder of the season and scored his only goal for them against eventual runners-up Stoke City.


In total, the defender made nine appearances for the Iron before returning to Liverpool.
Hobbs will wear the number 25 shirt.

Personally I find our current recruitment policy bewildering. I genuinely can't see us doing anything this season at all. Really hope I am wrong :icon_conf

 

[MKFox]

he looks a bit camp

Me too,I find our Squad a mixture of Odds and Sods

Got a very ITK mate who's a liverpool fan and he reckons the lads brilliant, he's spoke to me about him in the past as well.

Im pleased with this signing, at least we have enough cover at the back, apart from the left which is fairly worrying tbh.

Everything looks wrong to me, wrong mix, wrong balance etc

 

[fosseman]

Maybe NP is now ready to get the rubbish out or at least paid off. Let's hope so.

Gilbert on the right, and Chambers at left back

And five feckin' centre halves sat on the bench

Relegation fodder, if you ask me

Yep, we'll barely miss a left-back at all.
