Flanagan's Contract Situation ?

I've read that his contract runs out in the summer, and i didn't see anyone mentioning this fact in the forums. How is it possible we still haven't offered a new deal to the lad ? Maybe the site where i was reading this news is wrong, i can't really believe this. Saw it on teamtalk's page where they made a team of players who will be free in the summer.

oh man are you kidding me? george what is wrong with you? you're supposed to get your fix of drama with your day time tv soap operas, yet you feel the need to turn anything LFC related into the same kind of bs story. why do you hate LFC so much?

at age 25 you aren't supposed to be lapping up the daily stars propaganda still, that's a quarter of a century on earth to find your feet... even after everything our (?) club went through with the national media, it's like you want to support them instead of us?

just in case you're genuinely wondering, like if you don't pay attention to what our players say and just rely on your subscription to the s*n - it's absurd to wonder why we aren't wrapping a contract up with 7 games left. do you realise how silly that is? we already know hendo and raheem wont be signed until post-season. what makes you think flanagan will be signed with games still to be played? why would we re-sign him today and leave the rest for the end of the season?

your way of thinking, or lack thereof, is the antithesis of a Liverpool person.

On local lad Flanagan, who has recently returned to full training after missing the whole of the campaign with a knee injury: “Flanagan is Liverpool through and through, and Rodgers sees him as a big part of the future too. He’s had a torrid year with injury, but a new contract should be sorted before the end of the season.”

Go to bed George, its past your bedtime and you get cranky without your nappy.

I was just asking a question, why you two jump on me, i don't have any subscriptions to a newspaper, i have just seen the news last night, i posted this without an ill attempt to attack our club if you cared to read my post.

I'm more than happy that AZPatriot camed with that link which reassures me that the lad's future is at our club.

Some people here are really butthurt and have anger management issues if they start bashing people out for asking a question, you need to be more relaxed, i even said that maybe the site was wrong, i posted this in the hope that someone will come up with something to make it clear about his situation, hence the question mark in the thread's title.

In order to get compensation for a young player running out their contract a new deal must be offered by the club of equal or greater value of their existing contract. It is entirely possible the club have "low-balled" him, i.e. just offered him something very similar to his existing contract until it becomes clear whether he will ever recover from his injury.
It sucks, but it does make sense.

I have no dog in this fight buddy but... They maybe believe that it would have been just as easy for you search the interweb thingy, for an answer, as it was to post on here.

Well said George... you only asked a question!

How anyone can misconstrue that in an attack on the club is beyond me… Its meant ot be a forum!!

This place is starting to resemble the fuckwits at over on RAWK

he wont go anywhere he got a hard on when he scored his last worldy goal, if that's not love i dont know what is

Flannadinho will be back to add some much needed scouseness to the team

Get off the lads back ffs, he was asking a question!

How about we keep these threads to the player threads rather than making new ones eh? Sterling was a unique case. For the rest we don't need a new thread each time they face contract expiry.

Thats a fair point...

... but he dont deserve the stick he's got for starting the thread!

Some may not like or agree with George but all he did was ask a question I mean it is a forum after all  lot of angry souls about at the moment .

I'd imagine Liverpool are concerned about whether he is going to make a 'full recovery' from his injury?

Agree.

Flanno is one of those players you love to have in your squad yet the team won't fall apart without him.

Fully recovered he is well worth a good long contract.

Niggling injuries mean the club will think twice.

No chance flanno wont get a contract. Will be sorted soon, and just as important he will be on the pitch again soon.

Thats a fair point...

I quite agree. I wasn't attempting to give him stick for it nor justify those posts.

Flanno's been offered a new deal, he turned it down.

Really?

Really?

A couple of weeks ago Si. 

Dont talk to him,slap his face.

We really need to seal 5-year contracts for Jon Flanagan, Jordan Henderson and Jordon Ibe.

These three players are very important for the club going forward long term.

I heard the same thing, but when I checked again today to post in this thread I could find nothing remotely reliable.

really? is there a situation he is very lucky to be offered a new deal after being injured for so long, i think this is media making up stories he wont go anyway as i dont think he would have anyone coming in for him tbh. not many teams want and old fasioned RB anymore who likes a tackle as the games gone soft.

hope its not true but doubt it is

Just people and media sh1t stirring, no way flanno would refuse a new contract.

Flanagan is nowhere near the other 2 mentioned, and would be a squad player.

If he signs a new deal, good, if he doesn't, meh.

Flanno was a star last season, he has been sorely missed this year.

No, he wasn't, as far as I'm concerned.

A decent enough player, but he's being ridiculously over hyped on here.

I think we miss him to an extent Swab but agree on your original assesment.

One of those agree to disagree points. I think we have badly missed him this season.

Even if its just for his crunching tackles and ability to get the crowd going, from what Im reading on here the crowd needs some encouragement to sing and cheers instead of videoing on thie mobiles.

The Scouse Cafu has been missed defensively, he's probably worse than Moreno going forward.

But yeah his tackling....... Remember that tackle on Milner last season when he almost cut him in half

At least he shows a desire to defend, a bit like carra loves a tackle, and his timing of tackles is pretty good.

I like Moreno, he is just raw thats the problem.

No offense lads, because I appreciate a good hard tackle as much as the next person, but there is too much emphasis on the physical side of the game in England, and that's going to be a problem for players like Flanagan if it's his main strength because slowly but surely it is being taken out of the game i.e. the tackle that puts ball and man in the stand

Add to that he gets run past far too often, his positioning is very dodgy, he lacks pace and awareness and his technique isn't the best.
I love his commitment, and can't fault his attitude, but I doubt he'll become a top player.
I think we'll see him leave in the next couple of years and go the same way as Kelly.

Then we ned to sign a new RB, because Glen is leaving, Flanagan too it seems, only Manquillo is left there and he isn't anywhere Liverpool level. I still think Flano could do a good job there if he's given confidence and minutes. It is important for him to be injury-free, it's a pity that he had such a serious injury because in this season he could have improved much further and cemented a starting place in our team.

Kelly had the same problems with injuries.

Flanno will get at least another season, and norman wisdom will probably come back as well.

But we probably need a new expereinced RB to replace Glenda.

Most top teams have at least 2 players in every position, 3 if players are versatile, Flanno has proven he can play both LB & RB. so he will stay.

I wouldn't waste any money on it though if it isn't there mate.

I'd be happy to have Flanno and Wisdom there if it meant getting more money to get goals in the side.

If we can rely on those 2 agreed, suppose we have played others as wing backs at times, with the 3-4-3.

Yep.

By some accounts we will have £30M to spend.

I'd be amazed if anyone would want any of that spent on the defense.

True.
The manager, rather than the players, is the main problem when it comes to our defense.
What he wants them to do is pretty difficult, especially if the midfield give the ball away, and we remain easy meat for the long ball with 2 split CB's and a DM playing a very high line, and FB's playing high up the pitch.

I would happily concede the same amount of goals as this season if I knew we were going to buy someone to put the ball in the net mate.

We will always be open to conceding goals under Brendan even if we buy more defenders.

What if its danny alves ?  .

This is one of the problems I have with BR's philosophy.
The best managers in football have always built their teams from the back, and there's a reason for this.

During that 10 game run, we seemed to be solid, I was very happy, but thats probably the longest we have gone with a settled defence and settled holding MF.
