SUPERTOON Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 7 minutes ago, Happinesstan said: Aye. 35M for a player we don't need unless Wilson gets injured sounds a bit pointless. Certainly wouldn't have helped us break down Forest any quicker. Wilson is very very likely to be injured though, having a player similar to him to come in and rotate with him would be sensible surely ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Just now, Jackie Broon said: Watching his highlights it seems like he has played, or is very capable of playing, as a wide forward on either side. Although, the link is probably bollocks. I was responding to the direct comparison to Wilson, but he did play the RWF role in Jones' system so I'm willing to see that as a possibility.

bigfella Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Looks equally at home both wide left or in the middle on that 7 minute highlights reel. Also seems good with both feet. We need competition for places and especially backup for when Wilson gets injured. I'm in, sign him up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got back-up for Wilson, I know Wood isn't anywhere near an adequate substitute, and we need a different approach when he plays, but he is cover. We are currently one midfield injury/suspension away from being forced into using Anderson, before intended. CM is our priority, for me, and is also a position that we can improve upon. I'd spend our money on that position and get a CF in on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is more more likely to get injured than Willock, Joe or Bruno and the drop off from him to Wood is currently the biggest in our team between starter and sub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know @McCormickis big fan and it’s seemingly within our price range I’m surprised we haven’t been more heavily linked. Fits the profile and just scored 2 goals in 60 minutes in his last game. He’ll probably want a Champions League team (or someone like Arsenal). I’d be astounded if he entertained the idea of joining Forest or even Leeds.

TRon Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I've stopped checking this thread much tbh, feels like we are at a bit of a deadlock.

Happinesstan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The fact that Wilson has played 90 mins in the last 2 matches gives me confidence that the medical team have confidence in his level of risk. Shearer had 2 huge injuries but came back to play 5 full seasons at the top. Inevitability is not a guarantee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stopped checking so much because I don't think there'll be days of speculation first. I'm fairly sure we'll have a couple in by Sept though.
