0-7 final score, 2 goals + 4 assists then taken off after 75 mins
He kept us out of a relegation battle last season.
he is far too good for the Championship, lets be honest he is a mid-table prem league player :thumbup:
The "powers that be" at Cardiff City should be asking themselves why Wilson had so little chance to flourish while he was with us last season. Then again, there've been so many clues in the past ignored as to the sort of aging, very limited, squad, built by Neil Warnock in the main, we had and the problems which would be caused if we kept on heading the same way. Wilson just followed the likes of Whitts and Tomlin in being the "token footballer" at Cardiff at various times in the past six or seven years - it shows how talented the three of them were that they were still able to be pretty influential despite the disadvantages they were operating under.
He's really PL quality and it is exciting for Wales to see Wilson playing consistently well.
As for city.... When we committed resources for quality players like Wilson (let me also add Reid) we didn't have a playing style that suited them or a manager (especially in Warnock and McCarthy) who could get the best out of them.
Now we have a manager who is trying to change the playing style .. we don't have the resources to commit for players like Wilson.
A perfect storm of ineptness in running a football club.
If he was as good as you say, why did he end up on the banks of the Thames ? No one else, here or abroad , was interested in him.
I've got a feeling we've had this exact conversation before but I'm going to do it anyway. He had 7 goals in 31 starts in the PL for a struggling Bournemouth team. Not world beating but not bad either for a young midfielder in his first full season. Buendia by comparison this year has 1 goal in 17 starts so far
Yet he’s only 24. When he was 20 he was having an outstanding season for Derby. He’s head and shoulders above the young city players being talked about in other threads. If even one of those comes close to being as good as him I’ll be both flabbergasted and delighted
If any Premier League club wanted him they would have signed him. He’s a championship player and that’s all. If he ever makes a consistent Premier League player , I’ll show my backside in Sports Direct. I agree with one thing you stated- he’s a Welsh player who’s currently doing well. But never in the Premier League. Come back on here in the distant future and prove me wrong.And keep reading my posts, you’ll learn something. It’s called being realistic.
25 in a couple of months. He’s a player of considerable ability, there’s absolutely no doubt about that, but Klopp obviously didn’t fancy him (most of Liverpool’s youngsters get game time in league matches if they’re deemed good enough - even Marko Grujic made 8 sub appearances in the Premier League).
Wilson’s not a guaranteed starter for Wales, either. The fact that he’s spent most of his career to date in the Championship must mean something.
He put in some fine performances for City last season, most notably against the division’s weaker sides, but he was anonymous in some and a bit petulant in others.
I don’t quite know what it is about Wilson that has resulted in a situation whereby a player with his natural ability is still in the Championship. Inconsistency maybe? Time is still very much on his side but he’s got a lot left to prove in my opinion.
I think hes a bit of a luxury player.
Hes not good enough for the top PL clubs thats for sure.
He got a lot of attacking ability but not sure his all round game is that strong.
Also whats his best position. Wide , no 10? If his all round game was better maybe for Wales he could play midfield. As it is we play a L1 player.
Do teams battling to stay in the League see Wilson as a player they want to add to the ranks. The answer it seems is no especially with a large fee involved.
Because he was not playing well on a consistent basis?
Fulham play the game in a manner that allows him to play to his potential more often.
I suspect that if he was to maintain the standards shown since his move to Fulham then a top 10 premier club might be interested.
He destroyed us last night. His work rate was phenomenal. However he wasn’t rated by the Bournemouth fans and has yet to prove he is anything better than a high end Championship player.
