I'd happily take Wilson, think he would be a really smart signing that would be an excellent squad player.

Agreed. He's still only 28, and has 14 goals in the last two seasons (in 47 games).

Good player but he’s in Fulham’s first team most weeks, would we be able to offer the same?

I watched the game today (fulham Brighton). i didn’t really think he did much other than the goal . Keeper would be disappointed not keeping it out

His stats this season are fantastic for a midfielder. Lots of assists lots of goals. I’d be happy with him to help us over the line.

An option for the summer maybe. Bissouma on a free from Spurs. He's 30 this year, never really shown his talent since moving from Brighton, but Unai loves a player who's lost his way.

It's a no from me.

He's meant to have a terrible attitude off the pitch, lazy and late if I remember correctly.

Diaby often had that habit, not feature too much the pop up with a goal or assist.

Not sure how much that is really smoke and mirrors - I got the impression he was being held up as an example for Frank's new and more disciplined regime (in contrast with Ange's dilettantes). It's notable that as Frank has become increasingly desperate to cling on to his job, Bissouma has been "forgiven" and is back in the first XI.

He looked like the next big thing at Brighton, got the Spurs gig and has done nothing. No thanks.

Arguably more to do with Spurs can’t be botheredness than a lack of quality from Bissouma. I wonder if Unai would get more out of him. A good shout if so.

Well you have to bring players in from the cold sometime. Doesn't change the fact that he was disciplined and no other players were so you'd think it was reasonable given Bissouma didn't go running to thevPFA.

They let Ndombele go for free last summer, that's £100m plus written off on those two, that's a lot of cheese room experiences to shift to cover that.

Doesn’t Bissouma have some ‘interesting’ allegations following him around?

 I thought the whole ‘live badgers, Swarfega and a member of the Household Cavalry’ thing turned out to be a hoax?
