Player Suggestion Josh Sargent

[Grizzly blade]

Maybe he said that cos we’d enquired? And found out he’s out of range.

Personally think Sargent is a good player and would link well with our midfield options.

Quick, strong, fit, and a very neat and tidy player.
Do t think he’s premier league quality who’s gonna score you 10 plus goals, but for this league he’s a top player.

Wilder: "There's genuine stuff and there's the mickey mouse stuff that happens. We don't play those games, we're straight”

Also Wilder: "Sargent, who I think is on his way for £20-25m, fabulous finish”

Paying him a compliment perhaps, suggesting that Norwich could probably get that amount of money for him.

 

[jono_t2000]

Not sure if mentioned alread, but thought it was kinda interesting... Sargent is represented by the same agent as O'hare and McCallum

 

[S64 Blade]

He looked excellent yesterday as a lone striker.

Yeah surely he just meant "he's worth 20-25 mill" because otherwise that's a wild lapse in professionalism!

No issue with him saying "he's a £20m player." The "he's on his way" bit felt unnecessary.

Bit odd given it’s exactly the sort of thing we know would irk Chris.

 

[ancientblade]

would love us to get sergeant fast and a good finisher as he showed yesterday would get 20 goals plus in our team

£20m+

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

16 in 24 starts last season. He'd maintain that over 46

 

[AWetFlannel]

Don't think Wilder meant anything by it other than to pay him and Norwich a compliment. He shouldn't be in the Championship.

It's the way he phrased it though.

 

[AWetFlannel]

It's the way he phrased it though.

I agree that it's slightly dodgy, can see why people are pointing it out but don't think it's a big deal.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

He could have meant "on his way" by his career and goal scoring is already going rather than he's moving.

Trying to take apart every little sentence someone says is something I only thought Taylor Swift obsessives did!

Sounded like Wilder knew he was being sold !

 

[bladesince64]

I think he meant exactly what he said.
Managers will be in the know as to players who are moving clubs.
They are all in the same market trying to improve their own squads.
Knowing who is available and who is affordable or otherwise is part of the job.

 

[designedbyross]

It was a weird thing to say. Imagine if Norwich manager said something about Anel not playing because he was being sold for £10m, Wilder would be fuming and we’d never hear last of it

 

[William Large]

I like the look of him. Always looks a handful and can finish. I doubt we will be in for him, I don’t see him being anywhere near £20-25 mill but still reckon he will cost £10 mill +.

 

[Green7361]

Wonder if Sargent could be our MAJOR signing

He absolutely said he’s a 20m striker, as in that’s what he thinks he’s worth, not that he was going to be sold imminently for 20m…as if he was in the know… what a stupid thing to think he said, do you have any critical thinking skills.

 

[SGBlade]

It’s such a weird thing to say. I genuinely wonder if Wilder just got confused in that moment with the John Rowe transfer. Bit worrying if so!

 

[Blade56]

Leeds bound I recon


We prefer to invest £20m on growing talents like Brewster

yes every chance i think they would have a good front 3 gnonto sergeant and james

 

[Nick Jansky]

There’s a chance they will lose Gnonto this week.

 

[Bell4]

I put a quid on him scoring first and won £7

I put a fiver on you putting a quid on Sergeant scoring first - won nowt

 

[bladesince64]

Definitely Leeds. We all agreed at the Critical Thinking meeting yesterday

 

[ATL Recs]

Wonder if Sargent could be our MAJOR signing

Not an officer and a gentleman apparently

 

[Frank the tank]

Can't see Leeds spending that amount on a player they are unlikely to make a profit on.

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Wilder - Teams well within their rights to bid what they want are making bids and unsettling our players

Also, Wilder - That other team who I have no business talking about is selling their best player

I love Wilder but I can see why Boro fan's patience wore thin could you imagine been a Norwich fan and the opposing manager said your best players getting sold there would be a 20 page thread on here

 

[MayorOJC]

Should be the top scorer in the league this season, regardless of team
