Squad reshape this summer

Does anybody understand what Wilder meant by "the overall look at what's happened at the club the last 3 or 4 days" in his presser yesterday?

The only reason Cannon plays instead of him is the price tag. Literally zero other reason for it, he offers nothing more than Oné and has less upside. We just need to cut our losses and sell Cannon and stop hindering the team.

Who's going to buy him though? The only way to attract a buyer (other than to accept a huge loss), is to play him in hus best position, start him regularly and coach him into being a better player. If that was to happen then we'd definitely attract interest in him. Other that he'll just wind up another expensive Wilder flop who leaves on a free when his contract runs out because no one wants to buy him. Another argument for why Wilder can't be trusted with money.

Wilder won't do that as he rarely plays with two up top, so Cannon is already heading towards winding down his contract with us and Utd suffering £10mil down the drain. It's like Wilder or the scouts didn't watch him before they signed him. Stoke fans were saying it. Looks good in a front two, ineffective up top alone.

I do feel for Cannon as he often gets brought on late when Wilder has shut up shop and decided to defend the lead if we're winning, so he's stranded up top alone starved of service with the team refrained from getting forward, or when we're losing have lost control of the game, where again he's starved of service due to our midfield inability to keep hold of the ball or use it meaningfully. I'm not saying he doesn't have his faults but he's often a victim of circumstance when he comes on.

Off field re-shape also…though can’t help thinking some of these should have been sorted awhile back…

I defend Wilder until I am blue in the face, but he 100% plays players like Cannon and Brewster because of the price tag and to prove they aren't flops. Im not that high on One, he looked good last pre season but looks clumsy and awkward in this one... but, he definitely offers more than Cannon.

I think he means the whole togetherness and experience they've had in this camp. He's frustrated with the ins and outs so I think he was concentrating on the positives from the bonding over there.

Ah,
Yeah makes sense. Was hoping he was alluding to some dealings going on in the background.

Cheers was looking for something similar.

Crazy when you look at Baptiste playing the most but probably won't start the season. Burrows/One not getting much minutes then fucking Shackleton
