Liverpool Set To Pull Plug On £4m Deal To Sign Danny Wilson

Hmmmm, by the sounds of it he is a good player and I still think we should go for it


Liverpool are ready to ditch a proposed £4 million deal that would have brought Rangers defender Danny Wilson to Anfield, according to a report from The Daily Mail.

Premier League regulations on homegrown players mean that the Reds will withdraw from the deal. They had thought that players from across Britain would count for the quota of eight homegrown players in a 25-man squad.

However, the regulations only include English and Welsh players and not Scots like Wilson.

The Gers are therefore set to miss out on a £2.5m transfer fee plus up to £1.5m of potential add-ons, something the cash-strapped Ibrox giants desperately need.

The 18-year-old, voted PFA Young Player of the Year in Scotland for last season, could therefore decide to see out the last year of his contract with Rangers before signing a pre-contract agreement in January with another club.

That could mean that Rangers receive somewhere in the region of £650,000 in compensation under FIFA rules relating to players under the age of 24.

Wilson has so far refused all offers of a new contract from the Ibrox outfit.
 
Add another £5M to that fee and we could get our hands on Simon Kjaer from Palermo.

Can we assume that this will be you standard response to all transfer speculation this summer KHL?

Ie

"For £Xm more/ less (delete as approprate) we could sign/ could have signed (delete as approprate) Simon Kzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
 
Apparently Kjaers €12M clause will only be valid for another 24 hours or so sparking a lot of rumours of United, Arsenal and us beeing involved in a late transferbattle.

COME ON YOU LIVERPOOL!!!

No.

But we really should buy him now.
 
That's absurd.

We don't know the rules and instead decide to spend time, money and effort fucking other clubs and players about?

I can't believe we're bracketed in with the Welsh.
[/quote]

Why? There are Welsh teams in our league set-up.
 
I guess we'll be spending that rather feeble sounding 2.5m on someone English instead then. Not sure what that will get us.

Shame. Sounds like he's alright. At 18 would he eventually qualify as Home grown if we signed him now? Can't recall the rules.

And There's an English team in the Jocks league.

We're an English League so surely Home Grown = English.
 
Doc was fairly sure it was a done deal as far as Rangers were concerned and you would hope that our officials would be aware of such rules before making approaches for players.
 
We obviously dont want him that much if we are willing to pull out the deal for that reason.

*If true*, it makes me wonder whether Rafa is still maintaining his policy of buying as much as he can get with his budget rather than concentrating on quality.
 
Just a question, how can the Welsh be considered home grown and not the Scots. The FA are rather ridiculous.

If hes 18 would he not be classed as homegrown by the times hes 21?
[/quote]

Thats what I've read aswell
 
Or maybe we're pulling out because Rafa's just been given his transfer budget and he's realised that spending £2.5m on an 18-year-old CB maybe isn't the best use of his limited resources?

Haha!
 
We should sack the person who fucked up the intepretation of the rules. Having said that, he's only 18 and can not be included in the 25 man squad as we can register as many U-21s as possible. Sign him if he's really good, if not just flog him back to Scotland when he's 21.

it will only be teams from cardiff or swansea as they are part of the english league, welsh league and scottish leagues are different. I suspect Uefa or fifa see home grown as within the respective associations in the case of the welsh/english/scottish thing!
