Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 If he was regularly fit he’d want to play. He wouldn’t start for us if so. He’s not fit often enough and is therefore somewhat useless cover. If he does go he’s been a really great player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Injuries, age and last year of his contract make it an easy decision. Excited to see who we might get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Sounds like there’ll be enough interest to generate a decent transfer value in spite of his injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 @Theregularscalled this months ago. Think he predicted a Saudi move but West Ham interest might give him food for thought. Was £26m being banded about yesterday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this why it's impossible to fairly value players with the inflated prices paid by the Saudi League. He's been in the England squad and a champions league team for a league wanting to raise it's profile, so there's logically that. But then we'd still have to prove it. West Ham apparently showing interest at those prices might be interesting, then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 If we can get over £20m and replace him with DCL I think that’s fairly good business. That said, I love Wilson and he’s been up there with one of the better strikers we’ve had here in my life time. Only Ba comes close post-Shearer. I’ll still be sad to see him go despite the injuries.

geordie_b Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Two Saudi clubs interested, one PIF owner the other not. Non PIF club bids 50m, we accept but Wilson fails to agree terms PIF owner club then matches the 'fair market value' offer and Wilson agrees terms. Nice way round the rules...

Jagten Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 9 minutes ago, nemtizz said: Wood went for that much last year, and a half fit Wilson is 10x the player. Wilson is 32, has had two ACLs and has 1 year left on his contract. His numbers are still excellent, but I can’t see a PL club giving him more than a 2 (maybe 3) year deal, so his book cost would be huge at anything other than a nominal fee.

I could see a newly promoted team taking a punt on an experienced striker who might give you the 10 goals that will keep you up for a season, and to be a positive influence in the dressing room, even for those times when he can't play. Genuinely could/should have been an England regular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) He is an Alpha player and has to get used to being second choice or move on... Actually think a two year contract in Saudi would be ideal for him as he deserves rewards for the effort he put in for us during the Bruce years!

I wonder whether many players in his situation regard being binned off to Saudi as a "reward," lucrative and undemanding though it may be. Maybe more of a consolation prize for someone who wants to keep competing at a high level but can't find any takers. I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
