Wilson starting on the opening day (2 Viewers)

[Hobo]

Be in tune with the elite tactician we have as manager and know that we would sign a replacement!

What other changes are happening for the first game then? Let's us all know.

It was pretty obvious that we weren't going to start the season with Wilson in goal.

5 keepers on the books. Surely we need to offload. If we can’t sell them then surely it’s a mutual termination no?

not to the armchair experts on here

It was pretty obvious that we weren't going to start the season with Wilson in goal.

But didn't know who or when the transfer would be completed. Which could have easily been after the first game.

I don't recall anybody suggesting Rushworth as a candidate?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Hopefully now Wilson will start the season where he belongs on the bench and Collins starts it elsewhere.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No Wilson is no2 and Collins is No3 it's just that the No1 Dovin is injured. You can't knee jerk and sign someone Everytime your first choice player in a team gets injured.

If and when Wilson or Collins gets moved on then that is different.

@Hobo you didnt want to sign anyone unless we got rid of Collins or Wilson.

Was never a fan of Collins. But shifting him will be difficult I think. Can see him sat in the background just running his contract down.

 

[RegTheDonk]

Now the other option isn't Collins or a child I'd change my vote to 'no' but I found it a bit of a worry that in the signing article on the website, Lampard saying Rushworth will learn a lot by sitting on the bench and watching Brad do his stuff. Doesn't bode well

He meant sitting on a bench in the changing room watching DVDs of how not to do it.

Mutual termination isn't ideal as that means we're paying at least part of the contract up but its hard to see someone coming in and offering Collins the wages he's on at the moment so that seems the most likely outcome.

Thats assuming there's anyone out there lower down the leagues that wants him, if not he can just happily stay here collecting a wage.

Better be an 18 certificate on that horror show

 

[Grendel]

Give it a rest. At the moment we have Dovin Injured. Wilson, Collins and Bell. If that doesn't change before the first game who are you picking?

Thats like saying we have 3 strikers

Roy O Donovan
John Gayle
Graham Withey

I heard that Northampton enquired about Collins but didn't pursue it , maybe suggests wages are going to be the issue

It might be that the club have to play the long game here. Send him out on loan and consolidate on the wage split and hope he performs well so at least they could put him on the market in January where there's more interest.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Got to love the certainty now it’s happened that we won’t be starting with Wilson. Negotiations with Rushworth don’t go well and we do start with Wilson.

Yeah and that’s the thing. It appears as though clubs aren’t interested and any lower down the pyramid probably can’t afford the demands. It will have to be a mutual. Even a loan will likely mean we pay towards it.

Is it too late to change my mind?

I don't need to change my mind, I voted No, Frank Lampard could see what we all could see and he's sorted it. Thank you Frank, thank you Doug.
