Yes weeks and weeks on the treatment table.

Wilson is a vastly superior player

so that would be the same as Wilson the last few seaons then ?

i have never seen him play.. but if he is 'vastly superior' then you cant blame him for going to the league above... and i guess that would explain why a club in that league is willing to take a punt on him going a season without breaking down... same way maybe we should take a punt on Reda.

ps - i reserve the right to moan like hell when Reda breaks down 10 matches into the season!!

At least that would be a ten match undefeated run for us

If Johnson has no club offer him a month contract if he's that desperate and it's allowed.

We can't have another season of him though.

Month to month would be awesome
But I imagine if he lowers his expectations on wages and contract length
He would get a years contract out of someone

17-25 with Wilson so a bit better I suppose?

I guess whichever is cheapest out of the two or which ever you could get on the shortest contract would be the wisest one

No, personally I wouldn't sign anyone with such a poor injury record. That's why I'm not arsed about missing out on Wilson. And regardless of the how good reda is, I wouldnt sign him even in a short term contract, the lack of loan window means its far too big a risk and disrupting trying to replace him midseason when he invariably breaksdown.

Its time to move on, once bitten twice shy, twice bitten.....

Problem is, if (when) he gets injured, it's the scrambling round to find a replacement.

I'd far rather get a long term first choice... although admittedly we might be close to needs must!

Wouldn't touch Wilson or Reda. Look at their stats. Can't get 15 games out of them. Move on

On the plus side, at least we don't have to bear the embarrassment of putting out a team including a player whose first name is 'Kelvin'.

He climbs on as a Championship player on Championship wages £££££££££££££££££

We need players who want to play for us, so I don't see at as any great loss.

Would prefer Richard Wood back from Rotherham personally!

Don't think we're going to have much choice TBH, going to have to sit down with Reda
And work out a deal that can be of benefit to both parties.
The injury last season was very unlucky IMO and could have happened to anyone, but
There's no denying he's an injury prone player and therefore a risk.
But if and it's a BIG if we got 30+ games out of him, that could make the difference
between challenging or not. IMO

Has to be a no surely, if he fails a medical and he's not worth the risk for Rotherham then surely he's too much of a risk for us on a smaller budget.
Plus the fact his heads been turned by a bigger contract, means his not that fussed about the project here and linking up with TM.

TBH if Rotherham pulled out now because they didn't like his hair,
I wouldn't want him now. Screw him.

He'd drop three divisions if the pay was more.

But it isn't, higher division invariably means higher rewards.
