Fulham are trying to sign Andre Wisdom on loan http://mirr.im/11JSo1V via If Kelly can stay fit for us and they can guarantee him games then great move IMO.
That's a good idea actually.The better idea I think, would be to offer them Kelly instead. He'll go straight into the Fulham starting lineup, and get all the game time he needs. He's also a bigger injury risk at this point, which means we don't really know if we can count on him to be available when we need him. If he blossoms and stays fairly injury-free at Fulham, he'll come back ready to take over from Johnson, who is in the final two years of his contract if I remember correctly.
The Reds are also unlikely to allow defender Andre Widsom to join Fulham on loan this summer.
The Cottagers are interested in taking the 20-year-old on a season-long deal, but the ECHO understands Liverpool, whilst open to the idea of loaning him, would prefer to send him to a club outside of the Premier League, where there would be an option to recall him to Anfield, if required.
Kelly's only rated so highly because he's a local lad.
I appreciate there was potential there, but 23 years old and 35 appearances, mainly due to injury problems suggests he's not going to make it.
Wisdom has more of a future.
Kelly has the talent, build, height, and speed to make it. Some players turn out to be pretty healthy after lengthy injuries when younger.
If he can get over those injuries he'll be a good player for us.
Wisdom's been very meh for me. Looks very nervous when he has the ball. But maybe he's a completely different player at centre back. Doubt it.
Disagree. What's Kelly being local got to do with anything? Owen and Gerrard were always getting crocked until their bodies sorted themselves out. I think Kelly is class. But it's a moot point as both Kelly and Wisdom are centrebacks playing at full back.Kelly's only rated so highly because he's a local lad.

I also think Wisdom will be better than Kelly
