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

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.

But I expect we'll be buying at least two players this summer who'll be ahead of him and the bench on Saturday was weak in midfield because Henderson was unfit and Milner was covering for Robbo. I like Wilson but I think next season he'd be sixth choice attacker and eighth or ninth choice midfielder.

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.

Based on how we have signed players in the past I cannot see us spending money on a 'possibly overhyped?' and overpriced English youngster. The value has to come from buying somebody with lesser of a profile in the UK,surely Shirley?

I did say for instance, could be another wide forward.

However, any 19 year old who has double digit goals and assists 2 seasons running in a top 5 league deserves all of the hype.

Fair comment. Id like to see the lad stay here though.

Weird when you're getting upset about a loan player wearing an item of clothing for the club he's contracted to...

The should have half and half jackets for loanees.

He may be worth keeping just as someone who can put it in the top corner the odd time, but I don't know when he'd play outside domestic cups. Wouldn't seem like a wise career move from him to go from playing pretty regular football on loan to being extremely bit-part at 23 years old. If Shaqiri's not getting any time now, he doesn't really have a hope either.

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. 

True.

I also think he's not the right type of player for the way we play. He'll be brilliant for somebody, just not us.

We should probably just give him to Bournemouth, to compensate for the absolute fortunes we took for Ibe, Smith and Solanke.

Sell him to Lazio for £4m then brag like fuck when he goes to Inter for £60m in 6 years time and we make an extra £20m in add ons.

I’m convinced he’d score plenty of goals in this team. Not sure we can afford to fit him in most games, though, with the style we play. At home against teams where we dominate he would bag a hatful.
