DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Rumours that he's declaring for Ireland in a well known tabloid tomorrow.
@Richard_Buxton_ - Jon Flanagan coming on for #LFC as Shelvey extends the advantage. Interesting story on the defender in tomorrow's Irish papers...
All I'll say regarding Flanagan is that if you're in Eire tomorrow morning, pick up a copy of the Irish Daily Star #LFC

Aah, that point in a potential prospect's thread when the genealogy becomes reality. Allegedly.
I look forward to perusing the Shtar tomorrow.
It'll be him declaring for Norn Iron, and the "interesting story" will be a cracking yarn about the time he threw up behind the Central Bank on a stag night.
April 1st is 85 days away.

YOUNG Liverpool right-back Jon Flanagan is understood to be on the verge of declaring for the Republic of Ireland.
The highly-rated defender, who turned 19 on New Year’s Day, qualifies through the so-called ‘grandparent rule’ and has apparently been ruminating on the decision for a number of months.
The Irish Examiner understands that, although there has yet to be any official contact between the FAI and Flanagan, he would be "welcomed with open arms" by the Irish set-up. The right-back has appeared for England U19s and U21s in the past year but reportedly feels that his long-term international future might be better served with Ireland.
Flanagan came on for Fabio Aurelio in the 71st minute of his club’s 5-1 FA Cup third round win over Oldham Athletic at Anfield last night and, just like his previous 10 appearances for Liverpool over the past season and a half, quietly impressed.
Should he declare for the FAI, then he could also solve a long-term problem for Ireland at right-back.

More of the same so. Still no definite evidence that he is declaring.

Do we have a long-term problem at right-back? O'Shea, Kelly, Foley, McSh-... well; all reasonably competent right-backs. The likes of Coleman, Wilson and Delaney could also do a job there if required, I'm sure. Strength in depth at left-back is the greater worry.
I'd definitely welcome a declaration from Flanagan though.
Indeed, the more the merrier.
What does it say in the Irish Daily Star about him?

John Aldridge bigging him up suggesting that he'd get his debut within months of declaring...

Been told that #LFC's Jon Flanagan won't be switching allegiances to Ireland as he couldn't even he wanted to. Not even an Irish gran

Odd. So where are the Daily Star/Examiner getting their info?

We were given a tip-off that he qualifies and is interested. An FAI source backed it up. Then again, not the first time this has happened! I remember Brady talking about bringing in Kevin Nolan in Trapp's first press conference when he was no longer eligible.
Odd. So where is James Pearce of the Echo getting his info?
Well apparently "someone told him".
Who that someone is is unknown, maybe they read it somewhere on an internet forum.
It's all speculation really until someone can produce official documents.
He's a very long way from being ready for senior international level, any time I've seen him play for Liverpool last season he looked a liability. Hasn't had a look in this season after his early season error against Sunderland cost them 2 points ( sub last night ). In time he could be a good player or just as likely sink down the divisions...
