People might say that he's not that type of player, fair enough, but I'd say that's why he's knocking about with the likes of us.
A comparison can be made with Whittingham. As much ability as Wilson, fantastic vision, the ability to put a ball in places other players could only dream of, but, like Wilson, his work rate and ambition was questionable. There's no doubt in my mind that Whittingham was a premier League footballer, as is Wilson in terms of natural ability, but, I don't think that he has that desire and willingness to do it. Time will tell.
