He may have competition from the likes of Eduardo Salvio, Adrian Lopez and Diego Castro, but I feel Pacheco has the ability to get ahead of them in the pecking order, if he demonstrates his best form. Still, with Atletico interested in signing Diego from Wolfsburg, that much vaunted position between midfield and striker maybe taken up.
If that is the case, Pacheco may have to fight for a position on the wing with Arda Turan and Jose Antonio Reyes. If such a scenario occurs, Pacheco may just find himself on the bench for the majority of the season which will be helpful to nobody, neither to Pacheco nor Liverpool. Let’s hope he has some guarantees from the Atletico management team that he will play as otherwise I can see him returning to Liverpool, and then perhaps being sold back to somebody like Rayo Vallecano next summer.
The ideal scenario would be for Pacheco to show his capabilities at Atletico, develop his game playing first team football in La Liga and return to the Reds a different player ready for the starting eleven. It is uncertain however whether Atletico already have a permanent transfer clause written into the loan agreement so this may not be possible. In any case, let’s hope he has a successful time back in Spain.

the lad has something in him thats for sure, he reminds me of a young luis garcia, hes very well regarded in spain but i just hope the lads been guaranteed a certain amount of games.
I think the lad needs to play every week or what talent he has will never be tapped into.
I dont think he has the mental attitude to try harder like many players when hes not playing and doesnt give 100% when he comes off the bench (joe cole) thats why he has never really had many chances, but i reckon if he got some back to back games we could see what hes made of
….OMG,,,

I still feel that we need to move for Sturridge. I still scratch my head when he was offered in the Torres deal and we didn’t take him. He’s good enough to start and be the first man off the bench if a striker is out of form, or injured! I’m a Pacheco fan hard core, but moving to Athletico may work in his favour (competition may bring the best out of him) or not (based on Diego or others coming in!). I belive that a move to Vallecano is also not a good move for him and new boys tend to have a hard time keeping posession! I think a team like Villreal, Malaga, Deportivo, or even Valencia would have helped him! Hope Dani does well! a 10-15 goal season with 10 assists would be perfect for “the killer”
How can it be good for him to go on loan to a big team like Athletico?
Of course they will favor their own players and not those they got on loan. Even if they think he is good they will not risk to increse his fee if they want to buy him later.
Liverpool should have vetoed the deal, but I dont think Liverpool really caress anymore what happens to him as he was Rafa’s signing.
