Quality, off work today so will be tuning in.
 
He says Blackman isn't guaranteed a spot in the side like a lot of the Chelsea players who go out on loan are, he says we don't bring players in like that, they have to get in our side. To be fair, we all knew this anyway.
 
Talksport loves Wilder.

But to be honest, who doesn't?

Indeed - once he's taken us up through the Premier League and Europe, followed by a successful spell on winning World Cup (x2) and European Championship with England, his place every Saturday on MoTD will be drooled over by all but our S6 neighbours ;)

UTB
 
He didn't say much we already didn't know.

1: The start of the interview took a leaf out of Gary Smegsons book.
He started the interview by bigging up the club, said there was 28,000 there on Saturday, a Smegson style exagerration because there was just under 27K there. He also said he's been to BL several times as a punter in big games but he thought the atmosphere Saturday was one of the best he's known and it's important because he wants to make BL a difficult place for opposition teams again.

2: Asked about Billy Sharp and whether he'll be a success in the Championship, replied that he's a natural scorer and will do a job anywhere. Also praised his leadership qualities.

3: Asked about his spending power for this season. Said that salaries and transfer prices have shot up drastically in the last few weeks, never mind the last few years but he said he'd be doing it his way and looking at common sense value for money. He won't pay silly prices.

4: Asked about our new goalie Jamal Blackman. Said Chelsea's goalie coach was at our match and they have big plans for him, made it appear as though it's a loan with little chance of us making it permanent. Wilder said that he likes how in the tunnel pre match he towers above everyone but said he'd like Jamal to be more vocal, it seems he's a quiet lad off the pitch.

5: Asked about our chances for the season. Just gave the generic non commital you just try your best and see where the teams ends up. He finished by giving big credit to Brentford, said other teams have brought in big players than need to gel where as Brentford have a settled side so it was one of the toughest starts we could have had. Said Brentford will beat better teams than us.

Good interview, spoke loads of common sense and came across well.

He explained that in order to bring in highly rated developing players sometimes the parent club will enforce conditions meaning they must play a certain amount of games but he said that wasn't the case here, there are no strings attached regards this loan.

Said he's told Jamal there are no guarantees he'll play and he'll have to work hard to get a game.
Wilder also said Jamal is a Croydon (South London) boy so it's a long drive up the M1 and he's impressed by Jamals desire to join our club and willingness to fight for a place in the 1st team.

You mean as a Chelsea player he hasn't got his own helicopter?

My missus thinks differently to that. When she saw him for the first time on Saturday she said "I bet he's got a big chopper". I just laughed at her and said, "no, apparently he's commuting by car from South London". Women eh? They've no idea have they?
