Wilson is a hopefully just a diversion for force Brentford’s hand.

I don’t get the appeal, we know Wilson’s ceiling is slightly lower than what we need (considering the ££ required to buy him) whereas with Wesley, Davis and Samatta we could be surprised by how much they progress but we will only find out for sure by playing them/not putting road blocks in their way.

I would prefer Balaban than Davis.
I’d prefer Gregnash to to you

Wilson clearly has talent, he's just injured all the time.

Still, be someone for Lansbury to talk to in the treatment room.

The injury record is definitely the biggest problem but even when fit I don't think he's been totally convincing in the premier league. He'd have been perfect last summer but this year I don't think he adds enough to justify the risk of such a big part of our budget.

Wilson is injured at the moment. Would be a mug's signing in my opinion.

I remember Gregnash.

I remember traffic jams, motor boys and girls with tans.

Sounds like Wilson is a stalking horse.

I’d prefer Bournemouth’s other striker rather than Wilson, the Norwegian bloke with the English name.

Josh King, decent player and I’d agree with that.
Hopefully signings will start panning out now. Given Smiths comments about Luiz coming through the door late last pre season, He obviously wanted players in early this pre season. I’d start to wonder what was happening if we haven’t started getting a couple in by the end of this week, especially an attacker or two.

That’s the fella. He always looks as though he puts a shift in and can play out wide as well as through the middle I believe.
