Hobbs a Keeper?

Jack Hobbs has certainly established himself as an immediate choice at centre back for Nigel Pearson since joining the club on loan from Liverpool in the summer of last year.

The big question now is whether Pearson will make any further advances to make the 20 year-old a permanent fixture of his Leicester side for next season, where the Foxes will hopefully be competing in English football’s second flight.

Competition at Liverpool for the centre back position is fierce, with Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger and Sammi Hyypia all fighting for the places. With three out of those four still relatively young, Hobbs would face the imposing task of removing two of them should he move back to Anfield.

Whispers around the club have certainly suggested a permanent move could be on the cards, and it would certainly be foolish of Pearson not to make tentative enquiries at the very least about the player.

What do you Liverpool fans think? Would you like to see Hobbs stay at the club and fight for his place, or would it be best for the player to move on?
