I keep reading on here about how Wilder spunked our money away. I’ve always thought overall we did good with transfers with him but thought best take a look back. Fees using transfer market.com
Pre Premiership (recap)
Sold Dcl
Sold Brooks
Bought Egan
Bought Norwood.
Few good Free’s
Overall: Fantastic 11/10 League one to Premiership. Whilst making a profit.
First season in Premiership:
Sold no one of note.
Bought: Berge for 20m
Bought: Mcburnie 17m
Bought: Mousett 10m
Bought: Robinson 6m
Bought: Freeman 4m
Bought: Osborn 3m
Overall: 8/10 we finished 9th in the Premier-league playing fantastic football. Berge was touted by clubs in Europe ended up selling for a similar figure after helping us to promotion. Mcburnie currently our best player. Mousset for the one season was worth the 10m. Robinson / Freeman not very good and Osborn was okay he’s played a lot but nothing special.
Second season in Premiership:
Sold no one of note
Bought: Brewster 22m
Bought: Ramsdale 18m
Bought: Burke (Swop for Robinson)
Bought : Bogle 3m
Bought : Lowe 3m
Overall 5/10. League position horrific and Brewster since Wilder left has sat on the injury table and been crocked ever since. Ramsdale we sold for big profit and now plays for Arsenal. Burke I don’t even want to talk about awful player (no argument the Robinson money virtually went on him we spunked that. Bogle and Lowe for their money are very good. Bogle has a very exciting future. Lowe is very hot and cold but £3m in PL is nothing.
So this argument about how Wilder spunked money. Looking back with hindsight Brewster and his injuries seems very poor, but he made that money back with Ramsdale. Burke is dreadful. The others overall look good signings. Large majority of the team got us 90 points in the Championship too.
Myth: Busted.
