Danny Wilson

[Mattshark]

In fact I'd get rid of Wilson and Carragher (offer him a coaching role or something) and have my CB pecking order as:

Agger
Skrtel
Coates
Kelly
Wisdom

I'd get rid of Sama too, he's another disaster waiting to happen.

Really should not be a centre back for us.

[Reece]

Would be interesting to know whether (long term) Rodgers will see Kelly more as a RB or a CB.

[Tee]

His best attribute is his confidence on the ball in defence. If he doesn't get a chance in this system then he'll never get a chance.....

Danny I always enjoy reading your posts and respect your knowledge, however you cannot be serious about him being confident on the ball. Seriously? He has looked anything but in the few games I have seen him play - infact his lack of confidence in possession leads me to believe he has no future here. Reminds me of Dossena in all honesty, just not as good.

[Reece]

Or Rodgers could just ask Matt I guess

[Mattshark]

Or Rodgers could just ask Matt I guess

Damn right

He is really weak in the air and doesn't have enough presence to be a centre back imo.

[Buzzo]

Or Rodgers could just ask Matt I guess

prob this is what happened re. Andy Carroll.

[RichC]

Kelly has the potential to be a centre back whether he makes the most of that potential we'll have to see.

[Lee]

Our forgotten man.

Got to be loaned or sold this week. Surely. He's nowhere near the first team so surely it's in everyone's best interests that he moves on.

[MrMichael]

Good lord, Wilson. Did he play at all in pre-season? Seen in any squads?

I guess he's in the same sort of position at the club as Pacheco and Ecclestone.

[little dave hedgehog]

who?

[Gibbo]

I honestly forgot he exsisted.

How much did we pay for him?

[MrMichael]

I honestly forgot he exsisted.

How much did we pay for him?

~£2m up front. Apparently it was a 3yr deal, so that would make him having come into his last 12 months now...

[Gibbo]

Oh really?! I thought we payed a bit more than that!

Not really a bad deal for what was a punt on a promising player then.

Bristol City set to sign Liverpool defender Danny Wilson on loan

Thursday, November 22, 2012

Bristol City were today closing in on highly-rated Liverpool defender Danny Wilson.

In the market for a commanding centre-back, Robins manager Derek McInnes was hoping to land the 20-year-old Scottish international on a short-term deal before the 5pm deadline for loan signings.

Wilson, who has been described by many as the new Franz Beckenbauer, is in Bristol for talks and, if a deal can be concluded in time, he will travel north with City's first team squad for Saturday's npower Championship clash with Middlesbrough.

Although Liverpool paid out an intial £2m to bring Wilson from Glasgow Rangers to Anfield in 2010, the Livingstone-born defender has struggled to make an impact, making just eight first-team appearances for the Reds.

Behind Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Jamie Carragher, Sebastian Coates and Andre Wisdom in the Liverpool pecking order, Wilson has not played a competitive senior game since Brendan Rodgers took over as manager in the summer.

But he has featured regularly for Liverpool's unbeaten Under-21 side this season and is ready to go straight into City's team if selected.

Wilson came through the youth ranks at Rangers and made his professional debut in a League Cup tie against Dundee in October 2009. He made 26 first team appearances in all for the Ibrox club and was named Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year in 2010.

He joined Liverpool in July 2010, signing a three-year deal, and made his senior debut in a League Cup tie against Northampton Town two months later.

Wilson also featured in a Europa League clash with Sparta Prague and made his Premier League debut in a 3-1 defeat at West Ham United in February 2011.

Unable to break into Liverpool's first team, he spent the second half of last season on loan at Blackpool, making 10 appearances and helping the Seasiders make the Championship play-off final.

He represented Scotland at under-19 and under-21 levels and was promoted to the senior squad by Craig Levein, making his full debut in a 3-0 friendly victory over Faroe Islands in November 2010.

He will have to earn his money there.

They have been shipping an average of 2 goals per league game.
