Any opinions on Danny wilson and his transfer to Liverpool

Any opinions on Danny wilson and his transfer to Liverpool

hes a wonderkid on FM, so signs are good.

Decent signing though, not seen him play but from what iv heard hes v good and still only 18.

The Joe Cole transfer caught my eye but thats being discussed on the Liverpool thread.......


so back to Celtic and Rangers then.

I know Dave asked above about Danny Wilson - but is he a player for now or a very good talent for the future?  The next Alan Hansen?  What do the Rangers and Celtic fans think?

(Just to bring the two threads together)

I'm absolutely gutted on him leaving to be honest...think he's a great young player and not even just in the smaller games in the SPL...was also excellent in the champions league games he played & against Celtic;

would stick money on him being liverpools regular centre half by 20-21....really just wish he stayed with us a bit more to develop- he woulda been playing for us just now rather than 3 years time

Gutted at this one more than our other departures!!!

Any opinions on Danny wilson and his transfer to Liverpool

This is a an absolute steal for Liverpool. This lad is an excellent prospect and the level of composure he has for his age and relative inexperience is quite something. He has been thrown in to big games in the Champions League and Old Firm games and handled it better than a lot of experienced pros.

My one worry about the move is that I fear that it may have come a bit too soon for him. I am sure if he'd stayed at Rangers another couple of years he would have got a lot of games under his belt and broke into the Scottish national side. If he doesn't get many games at Liverpool it could hurt his development, that said I would have him in before Kyrgiakos any day of the week and I think Roy Hodgson is a good enough coach to bring the lad on properly.

A little aside now, I'm not a Liverpool fan but I think there are a lot of doom and gloom merchants that could be proved very wrong by Liverpool this season. Very real top 4 contenders IMO.

Looks like James McArthur is going to join his pal at Wigan. Really thought he would have ended up at Rangers, I think the fee is only around half a mill and the wages can't even be in 5 figures a week.

West Brom fail with third bid for Preston's Lonergan  
 
Preston have turned down a third bid for goalkeeper Andrew Lonergan from Premier League side West Brom, according to their club website.

The Championship side's manager Darren Ferguson values the 26-year-old at £20m and is determined to hold on to him.
 
Who said our transfer market is over inflated!

Danny Wilson is a good wee player, but I think he is going the way of Liam Millar!

Leaves Celtic for Man Utd without fully developing, then goes to Sunderland, then on loan to Ipswich. Now plays is football for Hibs in the SPL lol idiot!!

I think wilson will do better than Hibs in the end tho, but won't survive in EPL

Is Gary Hooper of Scunthorpe any good? Meant to be interesting Celtic.

Agree.  Very good player now considering his age and inexperience but nowhere near ready to be playing in the EPL right now.  Def wouldve been better playing for Rangers for another couple of years instead of the Liverpool youth team.  Also itll be interesting to see how he fares without Davie Weir walking him through games.

Definitely good business for Rangers though. One year left on the contract, and next season would likely be 4th choice behind Weir, Bougherra, and Webster.

Liverpool have bought potential, but by EPL standards its a pretty low risk bet.

On another note - David James possibly to Celtic!? Really not sure about that one.

Salcido to Wigan for 2.5mill euro's?  only 2.5mill??? You have to be shitting me!
