It’s not just the fans asking him to loosen the purse strings, it’s the clubs most valuable member of staff.

Re: Harry Wilson
Cos he is a babyliner.
No room for one of them in our team
Dodged another bullet.
What really interests me here is who within the club thought he would be a good signing?

He’s been ****** over by Garlick again.
Garlick out.
Re: Harry Wilson
I wonder if we'll go back for Quaison now, sounds like the 12m and add ons offered for Wilson would get him.

Re: Harry Wilson
Are you suggesting that by adding Stephens and Norris that our squad is now stronger than it was with Hendrick, Hart, Lennon and Gibson?

Re: Harry Wilson
So what's your point? I was saying that signing Stephens and Norris does not mean we'd be stronger at the end of the window, which you're agreeing with.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 3:38 pmNo. But we are only two short of our usual squad size.
And we added Brownhill in advance of Hendrick leaving.
And Brownhill was Defour's replacement, not Hendrick's.

Babyliner - not heard that one since primary school, but that's not the first word that came anywhere near my head to describe Wilson.

I really don't get why people come on here in a bit of a strop attempting to vent their evident frustration. It's pointless to get angry over things you cannot effect. Transfer windows are terrible things, don't let them get to you.

Re: Harry Wilson
I didn't think you could be a babyliner in professional football since offsides were introduced? We called people that at school or 5 a side games when there was no offsides and you had one guy stood on the goal line trying to poach everything in all game. Or does Wilson have an offside rate equal to Wood?ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 3:42 pmI would think Dyche thought he would be a good signing given that we were trying to sign him.

Re: Harry Wilson
If that's true about Eliasson going off to the rubbish French league for just £2.5M, then it really is criminal that we haven't taken him. Absolute no brainer imo at that price with his crossing record which is phenomenal, bearing in mind what Chris Wood and Jayrod absolutely thrive on, and yep, could have turned out to be a real turkey at the higher level, but he'd have been a lot cheaper turkey than bloody Gibbo!
Re: Harry Wilson
Non of those players are good enough for the PLLong Time Lurker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 1:50 pmNiclas Eliasson - £2-3m ( left wing / right wing )
Connor Roberts - £4-6m ( right back / right midfield / left back )
Ben Davies - £5-6m ( centre back left )
Ryan Manning - £2-3m ( left midfield / left back )
£13-18m total spend ( figures are very rough guesses with no supporting evidence )
Matt O'Riley and Andre Green on free transfers for the development squad- if they aren't hung up on getting league game time.
Ben Whiteman - £2-3 if we want to push the boat out

Re: Harry Wilson
Just looked through a twitter thread where all the LFC fans are saying £20m is too high for him.
Glad we’ve walked away if the price is getting too high for us (just as WHU did with Tarks), albeit hope we’ve got some alternatives lined up!

Re: Harry Wilson
Its bizarre how Wilson's scoring record is belittled by some on here. Makes you wonder why any Club is unable to use the same techniques to create an
accomplished striker/ scorer. A piece of cake you might think. Perhaps all that is needed on the training pitch is a concoction of 'heat maps' and then fifteen goals a season strikers would roll off the production line with calm regularity.

Re: Harry Wilson
Ruling out players from Europe, except the really expensive and obvious ones, which is who we have been linked with.
Ruling out players from other EPL teams.
Ruling out older players.
Ruling in players that fall within our financial constraints that could be expected to move.
Who should we sign ?
EPL ready players are expensive and we don't need EPL ready players. We need fourth choice back up players who are better than what we have in our development squads.
Players that might be able to step up when they are introduced to a higher level of football and who won't lose us a fortune if they can't.
The type of players who might be expected to have cheap Championship price tags and would retain that value if they proved to be no better than Championship players.
The type of players that we built our current squad with.
Are Norris and Stephens PL calibre players that will carry the club forward over the long term and provide us with profitable returns on our transfer investment to support our running costs ?
We don't have the necessary funds to spend £15-20m on singular players that could constitute risky investments that could lose us a lot of money if they don't work out. Wilson didn't look like he was PL ready last season when he was with Bournemouth and he definitely didn't look to have the makings of a £20-30m player in the future.

We look absolutely awful atm, the only side I would be confident of finishing above is Fulham.
BOS to come off the bench late and a 4th choice central defender is fine but our midfield needs strengthening now. I have no idea about Roca but he’s got pedigree and clear talent.
???? Roca Westwood McNeil
I’d be looking at Watford Bournemouth and Norwich. Delofeu And Capoue would walk into our side and improve us.
Then look at PL teams, Everton Chelsea and Newcastle desperate to offload players. Loftus Cheek on Loan? Delph would be excellent.

Nowhere near the Liverpool team file under Solanke and Ibe. When did Liverpool sell a good player that wasn’t good enough for them. Huge risk at £20m

Signing Capou would make a mockery of having just signed Stephens. If we bought him now what would we do with Stephens when Corky comes back fit, pay him wages just to look longingly at our bench ?
Capou also has a contract that ends in 2022 so we would have to give him at least that, clogging up our ranks with yet another depreciating asset.
Roca would have value going forward, but once again it would raise question marks about signing up Stephens to a 2 year plus 1 contract.
The gaffer reportedly doesn't like loans and Delph could cost us 80K a week or £4m in wages for the year. After that year we would have nothing to show for it. The same would apply to Loftus-Cheek.
We needed another central midfielder in this window, we got Stephens. That is it, done, dusted and sorted. Anyone else would simply replicate the excess goalkeeper problem we had when we brought in Hart as injury cover.

Re: Harry Wilson
I would take Hudson Odoi on loan. However, bringing in players on loan to shore things up is just piling up the work that we will have to do next Season. Work that we should have done this season, but have so far failed to do.
The same way that we had to turn to Drinkwater last Summer, because we didn't do what we needed to do.
It would be a lot simpler if our new recruitment department simply put in the performance that they are being paid to deliver. No other team is struggling as much as we are or having to rely on dusting off the filing cabinets to pull out the names of players they scouted 4 years ago to fill gaps.
More importantly, no other team has initiated a transfer strategy that has dropped themselves in the **** like we have.
