Liverpool confirmed a deal to sign Brazilian midfielder Allan Rodrigues de Silva via their official website.
The 18-year-old has been sent on a half-season loan to Finnish side Seinajoen Jalkapallokerho known as SJK. Th Brazilian 18-year-old will return to Anfield in January.

The fans are not happy with the decision from the club to send the Brazilian to Finland just after he arrived from Brazil.
After arriving from the hot climate of Brazil, he will be traveling to north European cold conditions and it will be very difficult for the young kid to adjust to the conditions and the fans are furious with the decision from the management.
It is not his first visit to the country, as Allan travelled with the first team squad on trial to HJK Helsinki for training sessions ahead of a pre-season friendly in early August.
Fans have however taken to Twitter to criticise the choice of loan destination for the Brazilian, with a decision which geographically takes him even further away from his homeland.
Here are few of those Twitter reactions:
Allan rodrigues de souza looks like a quality signing, but knowing the Liverpool committee a couple of more loan trips and he’s out

Not wanting to add fuel to the “LFC transfer fire” but I’ll just say…how’s a season in Finland going to develop Allan for the EPL? #lfc

Nice of Liverpool to confirm Allan after he’s been there for a month and then loan him to a team whose name he’ll never be able to pronounce

@Reuslsm @LFC the fact we loan him to Finland means he will never ever figure in 1st team & we will sell him for a quick profit #FSGWAY #LFC

@Jones93_ @Reuslsm yes it’s obvious he couldn’t get a work permit it’s the choice of where to ‘develop’ is the issue

I can’t wait for him to go out on loan for the next 3 seasons, never kick a ball for us and then get sold to Granada for £1.3m @LFC

@LFC A source of income by acquiring potential talents that most likely will never involve in the first team action and later sell off.

@LFC best of luck on loan to the lad, maybe 1 day he’ll get a chance to play for our fantastic club (or get loaned out again & again) #YNWA

@LFC why waste him sending him to a shit league might Aswell just play him in the Europa league

The only good thing about the loan is that it is for six months only. Liverpool could have used him for the under 21 side or send him on loan to a Championship club or Scotish Premier League where conditions are more favourable for the youngster.
Fans were frustrated when highly talented and adored players like Suso and Daniel Pacheco were loaned out to leagues which did not favour them and could not fulfil their promise at the club and left.
Liverpool also bought Luis Alberto Romero and Tiago Ilori who could not make an impact at the club due to mismanagement and loaning them again and again and not given a proper chance.
This is the newest addition to that list and fans are now really furious with the club.
