Wilson: I will have to make a decision on my future 

Pretty sure the decision will be Liverpool's and not yours, kid.

Only interested in how much we will get for him, he's not good enough for this side.

Christ, some of these comments might fit in the players you hate thread. I find it majorly disappointing it looks like we're going to let the lad go without any real opportunities here. Wasnt the idea of sending him on loan to see how he coped in higher standard of football than the U23s?

He did well in The Championship and hasnt looked out of place in the Premier League, albeit in a struggling Bournemouth team. And he isnt always out of contention because of niggling little injuries either.

The only decent thing is I suppose we'll get a decent wedge for him plus a sell on clause.

Good player but not good enough at the moment. He could still develop but waiting for a place on our bench isn't going to do him any favours. 

I like Wilson. He skilful, intelligent, and can score goals. 
I also think he’s not quite good enough and will leave in the summer.
If I were to go out on a limb, I’d say that in three or four years he’ll be a top Premier League player, and various people will bemoan why we ever let him go. But he won’t reach that standard sitting on our bench, and he won’t get off our bench by staying at his current level. 

Wish he'd fuck off.

Sell him to one of the current bottom 6 sides that stay up, with a sell on clause.

Bournemouth, West Ham, Brighton is about his level currently.

He is good enough to play for any team outside of say the top 8 or 9.

Shelvey level player -- should have a good career.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that actually, we should keep him for at least 1 more season.

With the likes of Lallana and Shaqiri very likely to depart in the summer, there's a need in my opinion for a left footed option in the attacking midfield areas. Plus, he's a creative player with very good set piece delivery - something we could do with more of.

Add that to the fact that he's a homegrown player, which we'll be losing when Lallana leaves, then to me, it's a no brainer to keep him, unless he himself asks to leave - you have to have a minimum of 8 homegrown players registered to ensure you have a full 25 man squad. We currently have 24 man squad registered in the Premier League.

Our current homegrown quota is as follows:

Christie-Davies, Isaac David*
Clyne, Nathaniel Edwin*
Gomez, Joseph David*
Henderson, Jordan Brian*
Lallana, Adam David*
Lonergan, Andrew Michael*
Milner, James Philip*
Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexander Mark David*

We could see half of those leave in the summer, so the senior homegrown players will need to be supplemented by players currently classed as U21 homegrown, or by incoming transfers of homegrown players - likely why we've been linked with the lad Cantwell from Norwich. (I'd take Wilson over Cantwell anyway).

Trent will move from the U21 registration to the senior registration next season, so will replace Clyne who I expect to leave. I'd also expect Christie-Davies and Lonergan to leave in the summer too.

Luckily we've got Jones, Williams and Elliott who are good enough to supplement the over 21 squad. If Lonergan goes, I'm sure we can find a home grown third choice keeper. 

So I don't think there's a pressing need to stock the squad with more home growns unless the home grown requirements are increased which I think the FA are already pressing for. 

Lonergan's only on a 12 month contract that ends in July. He was only signed after Kelleher was injured with his hand.

If Carson is out of contract in the summer sign him up.

We don't need to register those 3 as they obviously continue to qualify as under 21s, and I don't expect that we would register them in the 25 man squad as a result. I expect that this is pretty much a given.

Also, I'd have Wilson over Elliott for the next season or so regardless, as Harvey continues to develop. Harvey certainly has the higher ceiling, but Harry is the better player of the 2 right now.

Good point. I hope we bring in an experienced third choice keeper to replace him because Kelleher is a long way from being ready.

I agree about Wilson but I don't see how he even gets on our bench at the moment unless we have a real injury crisis. He needs regular playing time to improve and the U 23 games are no good to him. 

I reckon Leeds will sign him if they get promoted. A very good footballer on the ball but does very little off it.

My main take away from this is that AOCs parents are extremely indecisive when it come to picking a name.

I'd replace Shaq with him. I love the powercube, but he hasn't been fit when we've needed him.

Our bench on Saturday was Keita, Minamina, Lallana, Origi, Matip, Williams, Lonergan.

Lallana's off in the summer maybe even Divock although hopefully that means Werner or A.N. Other is his replacement. There's massive question marks over Keita's fitness. Frankly, Id have had Wilson on that bench ahead of Lallana, Keita and Divock but, he only needs to replace one.

“The name’s Oxlade-Chamberlain. Alexander Mark David Oxlade-Chamberlain. Licence to... hang on, where’s he gone?”

Would depend on who we sign for me, for instance is we signed Sancho, then it would be best for him to leave, but I am a big fan and think he could score a load of goals in this team.

Also depends on how much anyone offer for him as well I guess. If it is anything close to like £30m, I think its pretty hard to say no.

I actually think the another loan but to a decent team in the Bundesliga would be a good move for both parties. A high pressing team that is in Europe would be ideal. Perhaps if we are speaking to Leipzig about Werner, then Wilson could come into the conversation.

Just a year or two too old for me, now.

I have a feeling he has not been injured this entire time. Think Klopp has put him out to pasture
