Would be a superb bit of business and a real coup.
I do t understand why he would want us, but there may well be more to it for him on a personal level.
Perhaps the expected premier league interest hasn’t materialised as he had hoped, perhaps an offer or two with no assurances of playing time or a likely struggle next season aren’t his idea of fun.
Maybe having talked to the manager he’s been sold the club? We know that while Wilder perhaps lacks in emotional awareness he’s a salesman and makes up for in how he can talk the game. This lad may well be very receptive to that kind of manager?
It may simply be down to cold hard cash- this is perhaps the most surprising possibility, but if he’s our number 1 target, then having a clean slate this summer may well have freed the funds to throw at a special player…huge signing on fee and a huge pay rise…this could be the deal that sets the lad up for life. And while it could be a step back for his career if it doesn’t go well he’s still at the age where he can get another move and turn it around.
Personally, I think if he arrives here, is alongside Blaster, Hamer and some of the other names we apparently have lined up we will have some power going forwards and he will do very well.
