Jon Flanagan

[Camble]

My favourite player right now. I love a gutsy defender who has come through the ranks. He's a hard ****er. But he can play. If he can play from now till end of season the experience will be invaluable. Kelly and Johnson will be moved on imo . wisdom still to come back.

I'm right with you, along with Hendo.

I'm right with you, along with Hendo.

Nice to hear Hendo is supporting his colleague in this way

[Exiled_red]

I've been really impressed with how he has progressed in the last couple of months. At the start of the season you imagined that he was probably 4th choice RB (behind Johnson, Kelly and Wisdom), now he's 2nd choice at worst and if he continues the form he's been showing Johnson will have a fight on his hands to get back into the side.

[Shaggy]

His progression is ****ing bananas. Remember on Being Liverpool when Brendan told him "you're no Cafu" and to play within his limits? Well he's clearly no Cafu - who is - but he is so good on the ball that he really fits into Rodgers way of playing....I think Brendan did him a little bit of a disservice

[Fosterbloke]

I hope Cafu was watching the other night! Although he's nothing like him, he would have seen a very good player. Some of those passes were great and that run into the box was so encouraging!

[peekay]

I thought he was going to go the route of Mellor and Spearing - committed but not at the level needed for us.

He has proved me and quite a few fans completely wrong. He is definitely going to be an integral part of the core of the next generation of LFC first team and squad.

[vlahka]

I will totally rage if Johnson takes his place when he returns. I've always preferred flanagan to him.

[paulg]

Hopefully Rodgers will go on form, not reputation and keep Flanaghan in when Johnson is fit.

Flanaghan still looks like a lost kid, in his face, but plays in a way more mature than his years. I'm so happy to see a local lad making it because he's clearly good enough.

Haha, I've always been a fan of Flanagan, but that's a bit much.

Anyway, one would assume they'd share the FB's roles, with Johnson hopefully at LB.

I think Johnson has played his last game for us.

yeha unbelievable turn around

he was a bit of forgotten member of the squad. I always felt he was worht keeping around - as a young squaddie/loves the club and when needed for 10 games a season would come in and work his socks off - a bit like and i hate saying it what united did so well for years, had a group of lads who had come through the ranks, who basically filled the squad out and you look at and think, how the **** are united winning titles with these guys

but he's pushing on better than that. great to see, and if wisdom comes back a better player well i'd suspect sadly it'll be the end of kelly - i like kelly but he can't seem to get right and he's been all over the shop the last few appearences

ideal situation if we could afford to do it would be keep kelly but give a year on loan next year to go and get himself sorted with regular games. But i think, if we could get £5m for him we should prob take it.

[Slinky Skills]

In the Derby game when he went flying in on Pieenar to try and win that header!

[RedReet]

I think Johnson has played his last game for us.

I'd be disappointed if so, but like with Pepe I can understand the logic if we do.

£5m?

I think Rodgers would snap their hands off if somebody offered anywhere near £5m.

[PTP]

yeah why not - i know we seem to do **** with transfers but worse players have gone for more

still young, english premium, loads of potential, can't see him demanding high wages -

[BigChief]

On a related note, thank God we didn't end up signing Monreal from a few windows back. Hasn't turned out to be the next Spanish fullback breakthrough we were expecting. No real pace, a bit lightweight and suspect defensively.

Flanno is beginning to remind me of a young Gerrard's demeanor. He believes he can do anything, and I mean truly believe it. That includes giving Ozil a kick and asking 'Wot?'.
