Danny Wilson and Agents' advice

[FernandoR20 2,133]

No, fuck him.

[Creampuff 22,628]

I said when he signed for Hearts that he'd be playing for us this season.

[CalvinC 1,414]

He's pish, he can go to hearts and stay there.

[clan macrae 292]

When he was born in Paisley I imagine.

doesnt make him Scottish.

[G.E.C. 19,075]

I liked him during the 09/10 season. His only weakness for me was his build which allowed guys like Higdon to bully him but he had plenty of other good attributes.

[folkestoneger 8,433]

doesnt make him Scottish.

We are back to the "being born in a stable doesn't make you a horse" argument.

For me the Coyles of this world are not Scottish because they chose not to be as soon as they opted to be Irish

[LoyalWilliam91 32]

Fuck him. He took the money and ran.

He knew staying at Ibrox would've helped his development more than getting splinters in his arse on the Liverpool bench, but the the wee cunt wouldn't listen.

All he saw were pound signs.

[craigyrfc11 24]

we managed flog dud for 2.3m tae liverpool great business

[Allanger 625]

I doubt if we would have developed/improved him.

[FlippinEck 3,737]

Have a go at the player all you want but ive said it before and I will say it again. The Danny Wilson deal for us was a great piece of business.

A 17/18 year old who had played a handful of games and had 6 months left of his contract, we sold him for £2M with another £3M in clauses. If he went on to be a success we got that £3M, if not, we got our £2M for a player that had a few good games for us and a few average games. Of course I'd rather he had went on to have a successful career but im not going to have a go at him for leaving when I reckon he could have been pushed.

[Ferdasyn 431]

As TMB has said, we sold him. For over £2m. Great business.

I doubt he forced our hand.

He didn't jump ship like some others recently.

Exactly. As I said before, we used the money we got selling Wilson to buy Jelavic (Walter Smith confirmed that). If Wilson wasn't sold we might never have won 3-IN-A-ROW under Walter. I'd rather have Jelavic than Wilson and Thomson so Walter did the correct thing.

Thomson was another of those transfers that came out of nowhere and I was a little disappointed with the price as it was what we paid but when you look at the injuries he had since leaving, makes you wonder if we had our doubts about his long term fitness. As you say though, that money was put together and we got Jelavic, which was a great buy for us

I remember somebody on here saying at the time that we sold him rather than give him the contract that he wanted because there were doubts about his long term fitness.

[the goal machine 7,818]

And isn't he a Liverpool fan? Would definitely take him back.

[Uncle Fester 186]

Average player who wanted to play for other clubs bar Rangers found out he was more hype than talent.

Your entitled to your opinion but I can't remember in my 47 years of attending matches a central defender at 17 years old have as much poise and matuity.

D J ?

[clan macrae 292]

History has shown that for the most part, the only way is down after you decide to leave our great club. I can only think of a handful of players that have moved on have had any real success after leaving us.

I was sure you were wrong but in fact you are spot on.even the great Slim Jim wasnt the same player.

[clan macrae 292]

D J ?

DJ never played centre half for us untill later in his career,and i dont think he was all that good in that position.

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

I'd have him back

[toolongawake 1,209]

He didn't ask to leave, he didn't jump ship, he was sold. The club's decision to allow him to go. If they were to bring him back, I'd be happy to see him at Ibrox

True that he didn't ask to leave but he rejected a new contact so we had no other choice but to allow him to go.

[King Jela 20,663]

Who's to say staying at Rangers would have made him a better player ? 2 years after Wilson left we ended up in the 3rd Division, would he have really continued developing into a better player playing at Rangers, under McCost of all people, in the 3rd Division ? Can't see it.

And above anything else, he saw the opportunity for a chance with a bigger club in arguably the worlds biggest league, how anyone can get pissed off at that is beyond me.

[King Jela 20,663]

That's because when ever someone does leave us it's to move onto the Premiership where's theres a slight difference between playing Dundee United to Man United.

Did Owen Coyle play for ROI? I can't remember but I thought he played for Scotland.
