Danny Wilson Deal Agreed

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I think ideally I would want someone better as first choice LB. The options out there are limited though.

Exactly he might not be ideal, but if he's available on the cheap then he's worth the punt IMO. Plenty of experience, english and still an improvement on Insua. Only real issue I can see is that he will be on a really high wage and would have to take a massive pay cut.

Signed and sealed!

Hopefully that's my signed top.
Asked someone who knows him to get me one signed by the whole team.

Looks like the deal was done on the roof of the Atlantic Tower hotel.

"There were other clubs interested in me who are in the Champions League, but once Liverpool came in for me there was only one team I wanted to go to."

Does anybody know who he is talking about?

I thought it was just us in for him or at least that's the way it seemed.

Aye, Rangers.

[Shaggy]

Great stuff.

Only a three year contract though?

[SimonNo7]

Aye, Rangers.

i'm not sure but i think because of his age he can only get a three year deal.

DANNY WILSON last night joined Liverpool in a record £5million deal - after Kenny Dalglish pushed through his dream move.
And a stunned Wilson has offered a special thanks to Scotland's greatest ever player.

Reds ambassador Dalglish tracked the Rangers kid throughout last season and urged new boss Roy Hodgson to make Wilson the most expensive teenager in Scottish football history.

Wilson said: "Everybody's told me Kenny's been in my corner throughout the last few months, that he's wanted me to come to Liverpool.

"I can't begin to tell you what that means to me, that someone of the stature of Kenny Dalglish rates me.


"If indeed he has played a big part in this dream move then I have to thank him for everything he's done.


"For him to think I can play . . . well, that's just something else.


"Every player likes to be told that somebody believes you are good.


If somebody like Kenny Dalglish thinks you are good that's incredible.


"I've not spoken to Kenny yet. I'm sure I will at some point and I can't wait to meet him. He's an absolute Scotland legend and it will be a thrill for me to hear what he's got to say. From what I believe he's still heavily involved at the club."

Maybe Kenny should be having a word with Torres and not Purslow.

The 18-year-old has joined the Anfield club in a £2m transfer which could ultimately be worth £5m to Rangers, depending on appearances.

However, Miller believes Wilson has been lured to Merseyside by the idea of playing in the Barclays Premier League, without having thought the move fully through. The former Rangers defender, now manager of AIK Stockholm, the Swedish champions, feels it would have been better for Wilson’s development as a player to have stayed in Glasgow and learned his trade under Walter Smith.

“I think it is the wrong way to go,” Miller said. “I know that people will say, ‘How do you turn down a move to Liverpool?’ but it is not a move to the Liverpool first team. He will go down there and without a doubt be on the periphery of the senior side. That is no good. For young players to keep developing they need to be playing in the first team, as simple as that. My fear would be that without that he will stagnate. He certainly won’t be learning the way he would if he was playing week-in, week-out.

“I know Rangers might have been keen to take the money because of the situation they are in, but I would imagine Walter [Smith] would have tried to talk Danny into staying. It would have been in his best interests to stay at Rangers for another season and possibly even another one after that. It is too early for him to go now.

“What you need to get through to young players in that situation is that if they stay and improve they can move to a big club, but as a player capable of going straight into the first-team. That is not the case for Danny just now. He is only starting out and he will find that he still has quite a bit to learn.

“When I was manager of Hibernian, John Collins wanted a move. I told him he wasn’t ready for it, that he needed more time to learn the game. He took the advice and when he did get the move to Celtic he went into the first team and was a big player for them. He went on to have a fantastic career, but every player needs to have a good grounding first.”

Miller spent nine years at Anfield, as head of the scouting network under Gerard Houllier before becoming a first-team coach when Rafa Benitez arrived, and retains many contacts in Liverpool. He warned Wilson that the players ahead of him in the first-team queue will not cede their places lightly.
“I know the set-up at Liverpool and I know a lot of the players who are still at the club,” Miller said. “Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson are strong, strong characters. They will not be pushed out of the side easily. Danny might feel that even training with them will bring him on a bit, but for me there is no greater learning curve than playing first-team games. He would have got that at Rangers this season and he would also have got good advice. Aside from Walter on the training ground, he would have had David Weir giving him all kinds of verbal coaching throughout games. That is invaluable.”


Maybe we should loan him back for 2 seasons?I believe playing next to David Weir would have been good for the lad,but the old man is about 40 now.He would get into the team no problem.
