What’s that? A thread not about Wilson ? How very dare you? 😂

One of Da Silva or Bidwell has surely got to go
He has no mens football under his belt yet does he? Tbh i don't think there's much between League 2 and the National League and FGR will probably be up there. Maybe if he excels he'll move up the ladder in Jan.
I thought he was going to Grimsby. The suggestion was that we've built up a good relationship with them during Obikwu's loan spell and were hoping to send more of our youngsters there.

From brief glimpses of him in the City unseen he looks technically very good and has a bit of a physical presence about him. Might not be thrown straight in but I agree long term he has been signed as the starting left back
He did have a month out with an injury in Feb 2025…. I don’t know the extent and only came back into Granada squad with mostly sub appearances. Could be just phasing out as they knew he was leaving? Sounds like this one was in the bag whether we were promoted or not so must be value in him

Brau has obviously been signed to be our starting LB. No point otherwise.
He’s never played regularly at this level, is new to the country, doesn’t really speak the language, and has had a spotty injury record. I would bet on him becoming the eventual starter but I think it’s quite reasonable to expect a lengthy adjustment period and it’ll be a genuine contest between him and Dasilva at the start of the season.

There’s a chance that KKH is a better Championship left back than any of them, and for as long as there’s a logjam at his preferred position then I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start there - he didn’t sign to sit on the bench.

I'm sure clubs will be queueing up to take the 'best in the league' for the peanuts he would be available for then.
The blindness some of this fanbase has for Wilson is wild to me. He's so poor and if we go into the season with him starting something has gone wrong.
At this point it’s just embarrassing. There’s always been this weird thing of blindly backing players not good enough by a section of the fanbase…but we’re still expected to seriously challenge for promotion. 😂😂😂

I don’t dispute that fans aren’t allowed an opinion, but as you’ve alluded to in your own reply some fans have very strange views on some players, so I would rather trust in Frank and his team to make the right call on this.

Personally I’d like another keeper, neither are adequate for a promotion pushing team, that being said I don’t know if there is a keeper out there that is going to come in and be the solution for us.
Would a current international who played 120 times in the Prem and just played half a season in Ligue 1 be adequate for you?

At this point, for some ability doesn’t matter.
Someone like that available on a free and seemingly happy to get playing time without being too fussed where, it looks like a no brainer to me. Look at it differently, would you rather sign him or Wilson up for the season?

Wilson should never have been offered a new contract. Even after his one season of playing first team football, a replacement was brought in for him because he wasn’t good enough, which says it all.
