Hi Ed's and Reds,

Just wanted to offer my thoughts on the futures of Harry Wilson and Ryan Kent seems to be a hot topic atm.

My problem with Harry Wilson is that he is good with the ball at his feet other than that he is kinda useless. He would need to add a lot to his game and I don't think currently he has the engine or defensive abilities to play how klopp would want in my opinion. If a good bid was received I wouldn't lose sleep if he was sold. If not give him another loan and if he plays well than we will be asking the same question this time next year. I do think he will be a good player no doubt but maybe just not good enough for us.

In regards to Kent if he was good he would have tore that Scottish league apart and he didn't, he played reasonably well at times but was by no means amazing. It's not as though Livingston and St Mirren would be tough work for a player that could get into our squad. He has a good reputation with the fans who sing his praises but that is down to him playing at his standard which would be better than most in that league and the heart and desire he has shown the club (also throwing one at Scott Brown had a part to play) but 6 goals and a few assists is not enough in that league. I'd sell to the highest bidder and if Edward's can do what he does best we could maybe get 10m for him. Really couldn't see that one biting us in the future.

I just don't think either have the consistency or attributes required to make it at LFC. Some standout elements to each of their games but not enough. If Klopp thinks a Cornetto is a better option I want a strawberry one.

I know the problem with opinions is everyone has one but that's my thoughts, each to their own and all that 😆.

I know what you're saying quigz and I understand people's worries regarding Wilson's work rate off the ball but I feel he's a real gem and would be sorry to see him leave. Feel he can be an excellent squad player rather than wasting money on a transfer.

Disagree
Harry wilson is also terrific from deadball and has a real good eye for goal. Plus he delivers excellent corners. He is ideal to give the main starters a rest when required and play those 20-25 games from the bench as required to keep things fresh. As for his tracking back he has not played in a system that has required him to. At derby ut was attacking football and he was almost at the core of most of their decent play. At liverpool klopp can surely add that dimesion to his game.
As for kent he is a winger who doesn't really go for goals but looks to create them. He can also add yo the team from bench because he has the pace.
Of course club is looking for moving the players on with their careers but inwould not mind either or both on the bench coming season. They can both do the job at liverpool.

{Ed001's Note - honestly I really do not know what people see in Wilson. He is average at best. He does not work hard enough in training or on the pitch because that is the way he is, not because of these ridiculous system excuses.}

I have to agree with Ed001 here, I think Wilson is a player that looks great on a YouTube highlights compilation but I’ve never watched him play and been impressed.

Ed001 you are talking rubbish. The well renowned football scout who goes by the code name 6 times says Wilson and Kent are the best wingers/ wide attackers ever. Now apologise to him please.

{Ed001's Note - well if he says so, it must be true.}

I prefer kent. The scottish league is a tough place for skillful youngsters to ply their trade. Its a very physical league. And its hard for a winger to completely change a teams fortunes. He needs good cf, fb and mf around him to be effective imo.

It seems to me young ryan is one big season from making our squad. History tells us that it won't happen but he has a chance.

I have to agree regarding wilson. Shame as he's a real lfc fan. But i haven't seem him do much for us. Scored some nice goals for derby but all from dead ball. That isn't enough to make our squad. Taa is a better dead ball player. Better passer, works harder.

Irishman, you had me in stitches with this one, man. Seriously tho, I have not seen Wilson play a lot so don't have an opinion on him hence, I will differ to the Ed's who are deep in the weeds on this issue and esp. Klopp who has had Wilson under him for 4 years now, overall. If Klopp does not think Wilso or Kent are good enuff and as Ed01/ 02 have said, he is looking to sell them outright then maybe Klopp knows best here.
