JFK-1 1,671 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Danny Wilson is being lined up for a move away from Glasgow Rangers, according to the Scottish Sun. Major League Soccer clubs are reportedly preparing 'lucrative' offers for Wilson, whose contract is up at the end of the current season. Wilson, 26, has started the last 11 league matches in a row for Rangers and has been a key figure under Graeme Murty. The Light Blues should not allow Wilson's contract to get to the summer unsigned, and this should be a wake up call for the club. With veteran Bruno Alves frequently injured, Wilson has been a very reliable centre-back for Rangers and impressed in the goalless draw against Celtic on December 30. Letting him leave would be an error, but if Rangers do not offer Wilson a competitive salary then understandably he will weigh up the best offers he has, whether this be a MLS move or a return to England. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/01/23/report-rangers-regular-danny-wilson-lined-up-for-mls-transfer/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This would be a great move for him, and in my opinion the right move all round. He's a good player, but not the standard we need in our starting eleven. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,370 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think it's a silly move all-round. We'd be losing a decent defender that's coming into his prime -- one can only hope! -- and one who has been doing well this season. He could get into the Scotland squad, which would vanish if he left for the MLS. I agree with Ian, though: I don't believe it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueger 8 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This would be a good move for Danny, would imagine with Martin coming and Bruno staying he feels he will be 3rd choice centre back. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,413 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 You can see his contract is coming to an end as he is playing decent. Unfortunately for me he isn't solid/consistent enough and we need better 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,370 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The fact his contract is ending may indeed by the incentive that has fuelled his good performances of late. It shows that he can reach that level. Moreover, defenders mature later anyway; he's still only 26! I would prefer Wilson with one of Alves or Martin as the first-choice pairing; the solid defender, alongside Wilson's play-making abilities. I think Martin will be the third-choice: Alves is too good to leave out, and Wilson is good, but has that experience of knowing what it means to play for Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,370 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think Wilson should be playing for Scotland; which is an indictment of the dearth of CB talent in Scotland, rather than me saying he's a top, international class player -- whatever that is nowadays? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had high hopes for Wilson, when he rejoined us I really thought he would kick on and reach the potential he has always shown, however I gave up on him after too many howlers and I don't see him getting any better than the standard he is at but needs to have more consistency, I would love to be proved wrong by him! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,370 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It appears I'm in the minority with regards to Wilson. I can't believe YOU'RE ALL WRONG?! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
