Harry Wilson

Re: Harry Wilson

Is he a premiership player ?? are we more emotional about his talent as he's Welsh and played for us ??

I'd say he was.
Was one of the better attacking midfielders in the league last season in a side that didn't play much football. He'd do very well at Brentford.

Re: Harry Wilson

I wouldn't say any of those options are terrible.
There are a lot of Wales players who need to drop a level to ensure get game time, I'd say probably about 80% of them seem to be at the wrong level.

I think this is his best option, it would be the best fit for his style.

Re: Harry Wilson

I'm not sure about that if he's got the opportunity to play for a team in the Premier League. The overall standard of the Primeira Liga in Portugal is pretty similar to the Championship.

Benfica would offer European football and he’d be towards the top of the table, rather than in a potential relegation fight with Brentford.

I know which one would prepare him better for potentially playing at the World Cup next year.

I think Welsh players need to be careful about the clubs/projects they join but recognise element of luck to it as well: Chris Mepham joined Bournemouth at the wrong time but it now might become a good club for him with Parker replacing Howe and assistant who never focused on the defence.

But the wrong level? Vast majority are at the right level or lower than they should be in order to get game time already.

Harry Wilson has consistently been one of the best midfielders in the Championship - I don't think you can ignore how bad our season was last year which still goes back to Warnock's awful final transfers. He deserves his chance to step up and make Premier League football his playground.

Re: Harry Wilson

He’d be daft to go to Fulham who ruin players consistently and Brentford might not stay there long.
At his stage ,going abroad would probably be a one way ticket to obscurity so he’d be much better finding a stable premiership team or coming back here at least till it becomes clear as to whether we’ve still got any serious ambition of the top division.
That’s possible if Liverpool extend his contract rather than selling him cheap.
I can well see him being included as a makeweight deal for someone like Harry Kane though .

How would going to play for Benfica be a one way ticket to obscurity?

Re: Harry Wilson

Isn’t the £1.5m the value of the bid that Newcastle have lodged for Dion Sanderson?

Yes apologies, I thought it was odd.
Wales Onlines headline confused me, didn't read it properly.

Exactly. Playing Champions League football for one of the biggest clubs in Europe, or trundling along for a mid-sized team in the lower half of the Prem/top half of the Championship?

Re: Harry Wilson

According to Transfermarkt, his contract with Liverpool has 2 years to run, so maybe we’ve got a chance of getting him back on loan.
Obviously, he’ll have to compete with Bale for a spot in the team…

Re: Harry Wilson

Swansea after him on loan now as well apparently

Re: Harry Wilson

If we can’t have him then I don’t want anyone else to have him.

Seriously though I hope he goes abroad, decent team, strong league, settles and becomes a better player for Wales.

Re: Harry Wilson

They were after him last year as well and he came to us. I can’t see him going there, particularly as they’re supposed to have shelled out a million for that PSV Eindhoven striker.
