As a Fulham fan I’ve heard the same rumours, he’s had a brilliant season this year, and I even thought he might go back to Liverpool with Salah leaving, he will be good for if plays wide right for you, my only concern that this might be the exception, for in the last 3 seasons he’s struggled to get regular game time,
Nice to see you again on here, Franky.  Hope all's well.  :)
yeah I’m good laughing at spurs and West Ham
not sure really probably prefer Spurs all that bollocks about joining Europe super league when they’ve won nothing in the last 20 years , West Ham sold there soul leaving Upton Park so that would be good too lol

I take it you are Spurs down first but if it happens to be Spam with their tax-payer acquired stadium and dodgy owners, that is a great consolation prize.

Anyone else uncomfortable that these rumours are circulating in the days before the game.  Feels a bit Man U.

No, there's been links for a month or two now.

Wilson on a free is a good signing. Gives us a good rotational option with McGinn on the right hand side, can also play in the 10, and crucially, even with the wage bump he'll get, the deal will be cheaper than Sancho currently is on our books.

He really feels like an Emery player, and has great set piece delivery too. We might actually be able to score a penalty...

Smart signing, low risk, no issues at all with it. And definitely won't be our only wide player of the summer. Look forward to that one in June.

You'd expect Alyson to be more involved next season too.

We need to get to a place where Alyson's starting to happen.

I suspect Alysson is Morgan Rogers' eventual replacement. 

Even looks like him.

Always liked Wilson but fear this is a one off season (Like the one Bailey had prior to new contract)

I would like to think Allyson is the Bailey long term replacement once we exchange his glass legs for footballers ones.

As Smithy says above, he's been a one-in-four player for most of his career, which has been one-in-three this season. So his record is fine, and I think someone to help manage McGinn's minutes in that wide-right-but-actually-playing-in-the-middle role that they both seem to do, he'd be ideal for a couple of years while we sort out a longer-term replacement for them both.

My concern would be that he's had a such a good season because everything goes through him for Fulham - so he gets more of the ball and more of an opportunity to shoot than he would with us.

On the plus side - we've got a pretty damn good record of bringing in out-of-contract players and them hitting the ground running.

He'd struggle to be shitter and contribute less than the trifecta of awfulness that is Sancho, Bailey and Guessand. Even so, a bit of a meh signing.

I think it would be meh if it were our top/main signing for the summer, but assuming it won’t be as disastrous a situation as last summer I’d expect some improvement to the squad. Him as a squad option is pretty decent, in an area of the pitch where we do need a refresh.

He couldn't be less involved. Something seems a bit off there in all honesty. Pre season crucial for him.

I’m hoping his aim is true
