KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Scott Dann vs Phil Jones.. any ideas?

Phil Jones will soon be signed by Man Utd, which (if I was in his position) is the right decision from a professional standpoint. he's a promising young lad and has been approached by the champions who are managed by one of the best managers in the world, even in getting the best out of his players.

we do hate Man Utd, but those are the facts.

Scott Dann is a lifelong supporter of Liverpool and would jump at the possibility of playing for this team. he is available and seems "in the bag", but depends if we can secure a better option.


Now..

I have not seen any of those players play and cannot really assess whether Dann or Jones will be better. Also, are any of those players able to replace Carragher in the long term? or Skrtel and Agger?

If any one has seen both play, please limit the discussion to only these two players.

jones is still a baby but he looks like a top, top player in the making to me my preferred player at CB. scott dann is solid no nonsense type CB likes defending pretty mobile doesn't give any players he plays against an inch, having said that not quite sure if he's an lfc class of player and would he compliment carra? who although getting on will still be our no. 1 CB next season. tbh i don't want dann i'd have a fair few names ahead of his on my CB wish-list but he does wanna play for lfc and he's a good player so he'd be a good signing for now but i'd imagine in a couple of seasons most people would be looking for a better CB then scott dann

Why not put Kelly at CB? I always thought that was his prefered position and now Johnson is playing better and we have young Flanagan for RB i'd give it a go.

flanno should be loaned out still a baby and kelly doesn't need the pressures of being a CB yet he'll probably progress into a CB but kelly is doing brilliantly at RB

i think now is the time to have carra and kelly together lets be honest with all due respect to carra next season he should not be starting

Flannigan doesnt need to go anywhere. If he keeps up the performaces he put in at the end of last season then he'll be make a good assit to our 1st team.

well if we look at what is looking very likely to happen this summer, we are clearly in the market for a CB witch makes kelly being a CB next season unlikely making kelly a RB witch doing so makes flanno 3rd choice at RB so he will be playing very little witch is of no use to him or lfc so flanno should be sent out on loan would do him no harm whatsoever. and i still think kelly should progress into a CB at his own pace.

Not really House. Ideally we need 4 full backs at the club. With Johnson playing well at left back we'd only need to bring in one other naturally left footed full back to give us more balance in that postion. The only other full backs we'd have would be Kelly and Flanagan.

I think Flanagan could push for a regular starting place at right back if he continues to put preformances in like he did towards the end of last season.

you think we'll be selling aurelio? i hope we do but don't think we will so he'll still be there and we should deffo sign a LB so johnson and compete with kelly for RB so thats 2 LB's and 2 RB's carra, skrtel, soto/wilson, new signing 4 CB's thats how i think our defenders will look next season. we should make sure flanno isn't being over played at his age so the first half of the season he can play in the carling cup and learn as much as possible in training and then second half of the season on loan for some experience. because flanno is good he isn't half as good as johnson or kelly.

Scott Dann definately has more experience and his absence was evident in Birmingham's poor performances towards the end of season and cost them their place in the top flight.

However, Jones is still young and untested in EPL despite playing first team football since March.

Hope we sign Cahill or Shawcross personally.
