OrangeRab 2,770 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Getting rid would probably hand them next years title on a plate. But I wouldn’t put anything past Wilson. Kent is the least of our worries. Let’s see if we can actually sign the 4-5 quality players we need on a shoestring budget. Before pretending we’re Real Madrid and we can do better than Kent on a free. Laudrupsleftfoot and Bad Robot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a fucking incredible player for our level of football and there is zero chance of bringing in anyone half as good without spending serious money. I think he has fantastic talent but just doesn't show it enough for me, probably go somewhere else and be a superstar. crabbit247 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,779 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 He stepped up today where others like Morelos and Tillman failed us. He lacked quality at times, but didn't hide and was again our danger man. We're over reliant on him which is a criticism of many others including Wilson. I'd keep him but like so many of them don't really care if they go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to spend multimillions to sign someone better so for me it's an absolute no brainer to re-sign him at whatever a week he wants. crabbit247 and born a blue nose 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. To replace him with a better player + fee + wages would need to be Alfredo levels of scouting for it to be worth letting him go, which it doesn't feel we have. He's frustrating as fuck man, but seems Beale is getting a tune out him, would be very tempted at a new contract for him. Alfredo's times up tho.

BigBearButt 3,652 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Was he worth our initial outlay? I'd say no. Would I want to pay him more than he is currently getting? Fuck no. He already gives a poor return on what he is being paid. Id be selling him and morelos in Jan and bring in players who actually want to play for the shirt rabc10000 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate is whether we should offer him a new contract or not (and how much to offer). Some want him moved on. If he wants to leave it’s all irrelevant.

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,950 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Other than chasing money, and I wouldn't necessarily blame him for that given it's a short career and he's never staying in football beyond playing, I think he'd be mental to leave. He's now under a manager who knows him as a player as well as he knows himself, has confidence in him, and will play to his strengths. Why give that up to find himself in a lower end EPL team spending 80% of his time pressing and tracking back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
