"I think we've seen he has fit very well into the team and scored a few goals and he is showing he is fantastic with the other players. "I think they are pretty happy but again it depends on their future results but they have had a fantastic pre-season and it looks like a bright future." Liverpool's first game after the international break is a blockbuster clash against Manchester City on Saturday.</blockquote>
