'Pacheco will shine at Norwich'
25th Mar 2011 - Latest News
The Spaniard today finalised his temporary move to the Championship high flyers and Kenny's son, who once had a spell with the Canaries between 1999 and 2002, believes City have got an exciting talent on their hands.
"I think Norwich fans should get really excited about this young talent, because I certainly get excited whenever I see him play," said Dalglish.
"I'm a big admirer and I think the majority of Liverpool fans are admirers of his, and there will be a lot of them keeping a close eye on how he does.
"They all believe in this kid and they want him to progress and be a first-team player because of what they've seen in pre-season games and his stints in the first team. Norwich have certainly got a very talented player, a real talent."
Despite his diminutive size, Dalglish believes he can come back to Liverpool a stronger player in the summer.
"Gianfranco Zola, Messi, they're not the biggest but I don't think it matters if you've got the quality," he added.
"He's a strong little boy. He's short but when your touch is as good as his, it gets you out of a lot more trouble than when you are big and strong.
"He is a second striker, likes playing off another striker and can probably play on the outside of a front three as well. He likes playing in the hole too and is very successful when he does it, if he's playing in a footballing team.
"I think any team in the Championship would have taken Dani and Liverpool looked hard at the style teams were playing and, with Norwich playing such an attractive style of football, he had to go to a team that does that because he is a terrific footballer.
"Liverpool have just gone out and spent 30M and 20M on two centre-forwards, and to expect Dani to go and compete with them is an unrealistic expectation.
"But there's no doubting players like him have got immense potential and have what it takes to become top players."
