Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he'll continue to back the club's academy talent.
Rodgers is adamant the Kop kids will still get their chance to shine.
"I don't think it's more difficult for young players here now," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.
"In fact I think there will never be a greater chance if you have the responsibility and if you have the talent.
"Young players will never have a better opportunity at any club than at Liverpool.
"New players coming in here won't stand in their way. If a young player is performing he will play. I will always look to young players.
"Yes, the dynamics of the group and the whole club has changed now but that doesn't make the opportunity any less for the young player.
"There is an opportunity here for a young player if he has that talent base and the determination and the desire.
"Look at Raheem [Sterling] and what he's achieved since he broke into the side. He's only 19 but is maintaining his place. If other players here have that quality then they will play.
"Javier Manquillo is only 20 but after arriving here he went straight into the team because he showed up so well in training and in the Borussia Dortmund game. He will feature heavily for us this season.
"It's never about the age for me, it's about the talent and the commitment to playing."
