Liverpool wanted to sell Harry Wilson, Says

‘CARDIFF LOAN COULD INCREASE WILSON VALUE’

Harry Wilson’s loan from Liverpool to Cardiff could help the Reds command an increased fee for the Welsh winger, according to Sky Sports EFL pundit Keith Andrews.

The 23-year-old scored 25 goals in 84 appearances on loan at Derby and Bournemouth over the course of the last two seasons and had looked set for a permanent exit from Anfield this summer.

Speaking on the Sky Sports EFL Podcast, he said: "It's a huge coup, the way they were able to do it at the last minute. I think Liverpool wanted to sell him, let's be honest, and there wasn’t a that met their requirements, I would suggest, when he was being offered around during the transfer window.

"Then it became fairly obvious he was going to have to be loaned out and try and up his value again. He's gone back to familiar surroundings and it's where the Welsh national team are set up so I think that played a big part in him going there. With what they've assembled, I think he could prove to be a very, very good signing at this level.

"I think there was a little bit of talk about Swansea being interested and, for me, that fits him better. But game time is the most important thing when you go on loan."

Well hopefully when we get promoted this year we will be able to afford him at the end of the season!

Apparently there was a £12m bid from Burnley for him, but Liverpool turned them down because they wanted closer to £20m.

If he does well for us, I expect someone will pay the money they want for him.

I was shocked when we signed him, never thought it would happen. He's probably one of the top 20 players in the Championship now. I think he's a Premier League player.

Good start for him with a strong performance last night and a goal.

Sort of quality we need to have stayed up..don’t think Burnley are serious with that bud, plus the place is a bit grim

What the hell is Andrews on about there ?

We play much more high tempo, direct and get the ball in and around the box which really suits Wilson's qualities. He's a direct footballer and I don't see how that fits with Swansea's style at all. Of course, he's good enough to adapt to most styles but to say Swansea fit him better is a strange one.

Anyway, it probably came down to who he thinks are going to challenge for promotion this season. He's obviously a very perceptive and intelligent lad

Brewster went for £23m after a successful loan spell with the Jacks. If we get promoted I’m sure we’ll bid for Wilson, perhaps £15 m plus another couple of million if we stay up also we’ll bid for any other successful loanees, it’s the way to go rather than shelling out millions on hunches that are often disasters?

RUMPO KID

made me laugh when you said burnleys a bit grim

I think you where being very kind its an absolute dump went up for our away game when day the drop played in goal went there the night before the game shitties night out i have ever had anywhere in the uk and freezing cold and the people grummpy b.st.rds.

excellent pundit he was, miss him on the efl shows.

Liverpool turned down 16 million preferring him to go on loan so i doubt 15 mill is going to impress them.. the theory of signing players youve had on loan and who have worked out for you is good and makes sense.. the downside being the fact the selling club knows this and will almost certainly push the price up or if they have really set the world on fire their parent club wants them back as happened with a couple of the players Leeds loaned in last season..

And I had quite a chuckle at this.

A few years back I was photographing the Burnley-v-Chelsea game at Turf Moor and my Photo Desk Editor (who was based in San Diego!) said to me that he wanted me to portray the difference between the millions available to Chelsea and the less £££ available to Burnley.

Taking photos in the streets of Burnley, leading up to Turf Moor, kind of said it all - not to mention the supporters car park!

i think your wrong there.. Brewster was 23mill after doing well in 20 championship games , Wilson has had 3 successful loans , one in the top tier... and why on earth does a price make any fan think they are an accountant...? surely as a fan you want a player that is good ?

Spot on, but we bought Murphy!

At the end of this season Wilson will be in the final year of his contract so the £15m for him is not so far fetched

PAUL KEEVIL

The supporters car park a "field"
or was it a cricket ground shitty pubs just a hell hole of a place burnley and Morecambe is the next shitties place in the world.

he signed a 5 year contract in 2018 keeping him there until the end of the 22/23 season... so its 2 years left after this one..

Went up to Burnley during our last Premier League season and never seen so many hand gestures directed at the Cardiff City fans leaving in coaches. It was literally every person until I finally seen a man with his young son who were not joining in with the others. I remember comparing the youngsters upbringing to my own, having been taught by my father to have respect for others. Then the father and son both did the w***** hand gesture towards us. It made me laugh.

Maybe the Father is a bit slow.. took a while to work out what the rest were doing. Watched ‘ Brothers Grimsby’ recently.. that place looks bad. Mad film tho..

If Brewster is 23M...I think Wilson is on a par maybe more

Time to show Liverpool some respect - From what has happened before with their help

Harry Wilson is not the only player we have here on loan this season from Liverpool .

Moving forward we can get some good young players from Liverpool in the future who want to be given game time for themselves and us .
