Not sure he is technically good enough for any ball these days tbh. I know he has played a role so far, but I think the Championship has flattered him slightly. Forest are getting a player on a serious decline, unless by miracle he returns to some kind of form after 2 years. Don’t forget the Rogers effect..

Devonfox1884 Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 £10m and everyone is a winner. Well apart from Forest… and Wilf as he has to play for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanlegend Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 Used in the right system Wilf is a top DM. Hasn’t been the same since his injury but before that he was one of the best in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 He’s not the player he once was. He’s a destroyer that has lost his agility and can’t pass a ball consistently. He was nothing short of world class for 2 to 2 and a half years, however the fall of has been nothing short of dramatic since then. If we can get any sort of fee and shift him on to pastures new, then replace him with a player who can work within this system, it’s an improvement.

Wymsey Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 (edited) As it has been mentioned in recent times in other threads about him, he has had a tough time personally which could - albeit slightly - have affected his performances.

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 Can we stop talking negative of him....just incase the Forest read this forum and change their mind about buying him. Can we just wait until he officially signs 🙏 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get any sort of fee and shift him on to pastures new, then replace him with a player who can work within this system, it’s an improvement. All the discussion about his age and potential for him being older than his 'official' age makes a lot of sense. And before that wild poster comes in to start crowing about racism - he did fail an MRI aging test. Signed a 6 year contract with us that saw him committing to his prime - a very generous deal for him and real loyalty to us. Might have been future proofing on his behalf. The massive drop-off in form and fitness - very similar to aging players but in his position there's nowhere really to hide. A seeming reluctance to look at a serious move; he still, theoretically, should have his best years ahead of him. Why isn't there more chatter? Whatever comes of it, it was a real privilege to watch him play for a good 2 years of his time here. I'd argue that in his peak he wasn't a million miles from Kante and that's no slight praise.

LCFCJohn Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 I don’t want to be too smug about it as if he did rediscover his best form, he’d be an excellent signing for them. But if we can get a good fee, it’ll be good for us. If they pay us a good fee and his really is past it, that’d be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
