Though the difference of course is that one will only be losing his abilities with age, whereas the other is still improving.
I doubt Peterborough will get £6m for him. I also don’t believe Derby are in a position to put bid us as they are cutting costs.
I am in no doubt we are the other club. He fits the mould of a Wilder signing. Being a blade also fits with the claim he’s shown a desire to go to that club. And you can be as sure as eggs are eggs that Wilder has every player scouted extensively...I doubt anyone delves into a player more than he does!!
However, I also expect his sale to drag on and be this years Ryan leonard. Their chairman stubbornly refusing to budge and then later accepting a lower bid which is close to the actual fee he has in his head. (Not the fee he has for the media)
The teams rumoured in all the papers are Bristol / Derby / Forrest.
I wouldn’t mind us taking a risk on him don’t get me wrong. But for me a risk signing like that is maybe 1 year too soon. I’d rather us establish ourselves with a few proven championship players like Mcgoldrick/Waghorn/Egan etc. Build us a squad. Then next season if we have similar
Backing to go for someone like this.
