No worse than Wilson
Why does Wilson get shat on here so often? He is a steady lower end Championship keeper in my eyes. Nothing spectacular but definitely not poor. He got in the team of the year so can't be that bad.

Also got to add he an ideal backup, good character doesn't seem to moan. I'm really happy to have him

Amazing that nobody came in for him in the summer then, isn't it?

In this case, I wasn't even slating him, just saying that Marosi was no worse than him.

I have a feeling we weren't actively trying to offload Wilson. Collins is on more and strikes me as someone who'd be more fucked off being told he's number 2 (or even 3)

Wilson said himself at the awards dinner he was told to look for another club, didn't he?

“But at this moment in time I don’t believe we are interested in anyone or can do anything. Again, we have got to be careful because there’s only so much you can do in any transfer window and I think we reached that point a while ago, although we were still interested in doing something but it wasn’t to be.

Doesn't really make sense considering Turner was saying we were looking at 2 players on deadline day.

As I said in July, there was not much in the way of funds left

I was ridiculed stating this

the extra Vik money helped finance BTA and Norman

loans were an option with a Villa player

I think people were more baffled by the fact we've got no money after spending another shed load on two strikers.

I wonder if BTA would have come in if Bassette was available earlier?

Not really all that surprising there isn't much in terms of funds left, if anything.

Wage budget will certainly be at and more likely above our turnover and the Gyokeres / Hamer money will have been all but spent.

Any future incomings will need to be funded through player sales or sell-on clauses.

It doesn't make sense because Robins can hardly say 'yes I really want Matty James but Doug is saying no' can he?
I know and it's a fair point but what he says literally doesn't make sense...

"But at this moment in time I don’t believe we are interested in anyone or can do anything. Again, we have got to be careful because there’s only so much you can do in any transfer window and I think we reached that point a while ago"

I mean what is it? We have reached the limit or you're not interested?

As I stated last week, and again people can believe me or not. I've seen texts from those involved

Doug has put the stop on it 100%, Robins and James wanted it.

Of course Robins is going to toe the line in a press conference he isn't stupid

Why? We were looking at a defender and a midfielder. These didn't happen and they were that and we haven't looked at any one else after that.

By those involved you mean Robins and King? That’s quite the claim!

I'm not sure what you're saying here?

My point is that he is saying we have reached a limit, which would make sense had we signed those 2 players on day. But we didn't...

Robins does seem to be saying some slightly contradictory stuff the last few weeks. Not sure if he is just trying to manage expectations.

Eg. I think a lot of people knew Palmer was on the way out. Robins seemed to imply this was sprung on the club. Suspect he's just trying to manage PR on this because the club never got a replacement in.

Robins always manages expectations, always has done and always will do. Personally, I think this is a good thing.

He’ll know the squad isn’t quite good enough to challenge the Top 4, yet.
