[Football] James Wilson

[portslade seagull]

Just no thanks. L1 maybe

 

[ac gull]

Think even Burton Albion would turn him down, probably end up at Wigan on loan

....parking is allowed in the field."

"I'm sorry, did you mean parking is allowed in the field or not?"

"No no no no no..." etc

[Lindfield by the Pond]

No.

Said after a game that he could f**k right off back to Manchester, only to realise he was behind me. Got a selfie with him though. Fickle fans eh?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

No thanks

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

Nope.

His best bet now would be to drop down the leagues and sign for someone like Preston, Wigan or Bury to rebuild his career

 

[chaileyjem]

Players develop at different speeds and sadly can get long term injuries at a young age. Yet still come through the other side. Good thing we were for example more patient with Solly March , just as inconsistent and injury prone in his teens etc than some are arguing here with Wilson.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Great finisher, the trouble was the nerves issue or virus he picked up.

I wouldn’t have him back, because I think he needs to re-establish himself at a lower level post injury.

As they say - 'no deal is better than a bad deal '

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

He had a few inspired moments - the goal at Derby, for example - but even when he was fully fit (if indeeed he ever was), he was inconssitent and no better than Sam Baldock. I'd hope we can do better, even in January.

 

[Normski1989]

What? Why? No!

Why would you even consider him as an option?

 

[Easy 10]

Started well enough, but then I always got the impression he thought Brighton was a bit "beneath" him. The fact that Baldock was keeping him out of the team even once he was (eventually) fit again told its own tale. He just went through the motions here, which is often the way with young loanies from bigger parent clubs.

Whilst I've spelled out my reasons in this thread why it's a definite NO from me, I think your assertion is a little unfair on Wilson.

He definitely had some real fitness issues that held him back (possibly stress / nerve related?) but after that New Year game where he chucked up before kick off, and looked rough as ****, but still gave his all through the whole game, despite being plainly not well - I'll not accept he wasn't trying.

LOADS of players would have simply refused to play that day, and not just loanees, either.

he certainly seemed to put more effort than that waste of our youth team development space, Akpom.

If we don't do better than James Wilson in January we are in deep shit.

Another player with talent but no application or ambition.

Unusual circumstances in that game for sure, but he played 25 times for us, and other than that fairly promising start I thought he gave us precious little and just didn't look committed enough. Some of that would've been down to the mystery virus I suppose, but like I say, once he was apparently over that, it was Baldock who was always in the team ahead of him while he was picking up splinters. You just didn't get the workrate from Wilson.

It has been debated to death on here, and elsewhere, and who knows what the full story is (and I'm not suggesting we have any RIGHT to know), but I'm absolutely convinced that a lack of DESIRE to work was not Wilson's problem.

You simply can't file him with wage-thieves like Best and Agustien.

Pretty good assessment, always thought he had more to give,
