Who does everyone think will be Wilders "project" player that's always injured signing for next season?? There is always one! Plenty to choose from.
Adam Smith
- Bournemouth full-back
- Multiple muscle injuries over last few seasons
- Still very solid defensively, experienced
- Could drop into Championship as a plug-and-play RB
Joe Worrall
- Nottingham Forest CB
- Injury-hit spells + lost rhythm after promotion
- Strong Championship pedigree previously
- Good aerial presence + leadership at this level
Kortney Hause

- Serious knee injuries have derailed him
- When fit: dominant physically, ideal for Championship battles
- Classic low-cost, high-risk CB signing
Josh Dasilva
- Brentford midfielder

- Ball-carrying midfielder with real upside
- If managed properly, could be top 6 Championship quality
Keinan Davis
- Aston Villa striker (Championship loans previously excellent)

Josh Onomah
