Who will Wilder try & sign?

[Original United]

If he goes to WBA, which current United players will he try & sign.

Firstly players like Baldock, Egan, JOC etc I am sure he would want to, but they are unrealistic. So for me it will be Basham, Stevens, McGoldrick & Sharp.

As a side issue if he goes for these our friend Alan Harper on Porktalk will have to invent more bollocks as we would barely have a player currently aged over 30 in the whole squad.

 

[JackSUFC]

Can’t see him signing any to be honest. If he wants to sign Stevens that’s fine with me though.

We’d be stupid to sell our younger, more valuable assets to a divisional rival. Also will PA want to do business with Wilder? Can’t see it.

 

[Carlton Blade]

No way WBA give Wilder a free reign on signings if he goes there

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Lundstrum, Norwood & Moose and I'm happy to contribute to bus fares etc.

 

[Torrix1889]

There's only a couple I think he would really want and he couldn't afford them, (JOC & Egan)......he might look at Baldock, Stevens & Bash but not sure they would improve West Brom enough. I would have said he would be interested in Norwood definitely but he was part of Slav's Fulham side so he may want to keep him, at least until Jan anyway, unless we can get Coulibaly out of his 3 year Berrschot loan... Fleck maybe?

To be honest our squad is a bit of a mess at the moment and has past its peak in a lot of respects which was a big part of the problem......even if CW had stayed then we were due a major overhaul...the only problem with that is Wilder would have bought a load of Champ players again....

I assume he will try to swap Burke for Robinson again.

WBA fans would go barmy if they where the signings he would want. That's if he goes there.

 

[Nosworthys Throw]

Norwood and Stevens would be nice

 

[AnotherBlade]

He will be respectful I think. A few from Northampton who could have done a job at the begining of his first season and he seemed to make a point of leaving them alone.

 

[DronnieBlade]

More than a handful would simply not wish to be reunited with Wilder.

More than a handful !!

He's made mistakes, but he isn't stupid.

 

[bonobo]

Norwood could be the one. Although he played for SJ before, I think he would want some space to bring a midfielder in. Possibly McBurnie, could be our best chance to move on a striker for some sort of fee.Stevens, if the Sessegnon rumors are true.

Norwood is one of the few players we have on the books who fits perfectly into any of Slavs previous preferred formations. I'd be shocked if he's not a stalwart for Slav next season.

 

[bongleblade]

I’d take Lunny for Pereira

 

[knowsnowt]

Really can't see wilder going to wba.

 

[Patrick Fletcher]

I assume he will try to swap Burke for Robinson again.

if we play a 433 to be fair that might be a good deal, he will actually suit us

 

[Scarebus]

Really can't see wilder going to wba.

They've been tapping him up for ages. Big Sam screams "hold the fort until wilder come in"

 

[Hagansbootlaces]

CW has a great CV, but he like everyone else isn't perfect, plenty of signings didn't work, granted not all of them were huge transfer fees, and for every free signing that worked and stepped up there have been big money signings that didn't 'projects' tat never worked Morrison/Rodwell.
It's great to have 100% control but you can't hide when it doesn't work

 

[S64 Blade]

Rodwell

 

[Torrix1889]

if the Sessegnon rumors are true.

Are there any actual rumors though or just people putting 2 and 2 together?

 

[Bladesman]

I assume he will try to swap Burke for Robinson again.

I'd take Robinson back in the Championship. I reckon Callum would suit Slav's system.

 

[Bladesman]

2 and 2 together. Ryan only just arrived back in the UK the other day I think.

 

[ancientblade]

callum robinson would definetly fit in to slavs front 3 set up he never fitted our old fashioned 2 up front system as for sessignon if he comes in and rnd is kept can see stevens and lowe being moved on also doubt whether osborn will be kept on or even fleck

Are they going to give him money to spend!

 

[ancientblade]

i think wilder is nailed on for the west brom job we know alladyce and wilder are good mates and i think thats why big sam is stepping down and think he will have recomended wilder to the baggies board also think he will come in for 2 or 3 of our players

 

[originaltrueblade]

Hopefully the crap signings he made

 

[BlairBlade]

We can hope.

He didn’t show many signs of playing said youngsters...

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We can hope.

What a situation that would be. I bet Robinson is emptied his locker already.

Oooh Dronnie, is that inside info, or your opinion?! You're probably right either way. but that's probably not unusual either.

As for Wilder and signing our players. There's a few reasons I can't see many, if any going. 1 we're no likely to sell to a rival club for promotion. 2 he'll only want the better players who are likely to be in the team anyway. 3 the most likely are the senior players who Wilder had/signed from the two promotions like Sharp, Bash, Fleck, McGoldrick and can't many of those not playing. Sharp is arguably the most likely, but then again, can you honestly see the club selling a potential 20 goal a season man to a rival!

It's ironic on Robinson, he would have really suited Slav's football as a left forward, but I would imaginne Wilder will be more than happy to use Ronbinson in the Championship, it wasn't as if Wilder didn't rate Robinson, but for the Prem he doesn't have enough standout qualities, that's what Wilder said in effect when he sold him. But for the Champ it's a different ball game.

As for the Burke knockers. Just as Robinson would be ideal for Slav's system, so could Burke as right forward and he could play as a winger effectively. That's where we'll see the best of Burke. He could be a real fans favourite next season. I honestly wouldn't swap him for Robinson as others have suggested if we can get the best out of Burke, and in the Champ why not!?
