JFK-1 1,669 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Who knows what can swing these things but he's a born scouser and lifelong Liverpool fan. Maybe the lure of Gerrard will swing it. I doubt he would be so enamoured of Rodgers as Gerrard despite having been previously managed by him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard is seemingly keen to offer the carrot for his former team-mate to resurrect his career in an arena he will recognise for its traditions and huge passion. Flanagan has not been able to recapture the heights of four years ago – not yet, at least – but he has pedigree and a serious work ethic. Assuming his injury issues are behind him, Rangers could be about to seal their best deal yet for a player who won’t require a transfer fee. https://live4liverpool.com/2018/06/view-from-the-kop/rangers-have-landed-a-gem-in-flanagan/ Be very careful with bringing in players with 'baggage', in recent years it has rarely worked out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No injuries all of last season. As for the off field thing it sounds like an isolated incident and obviously Gerrard already knows him very well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the off field thing it sounds like an isolated incident and obviously Gerrard already knows him very well. From what I can see, he started 14 League and Cup games last season for Liverpool under 23s and Bolton (loan) in the Championship. The positive being he started his spell at Bolton on the bench but after a month started getting a starting place and the team avoided relegation. Bottomline, if SG (who knows the player) thinks he'll do a job, then he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Craigy1881 79 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 if he knuckles down and performs to his potential (was on standby for the england world cup squad in 2014) then he could be a good asset. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks the racist's case is still not been dealt with a year+ after being raised? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,587 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I take it you haven't seen much of Flanagan? He's a Premiership quality full-back. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
