I’ve heard Llanhilleth Athletic seconds have been monitoring him but the North Gwent league defenders would eat him for dinner

Picking up easy money under the false pretence of being a 'professional' footballer, it seems! :laughing6:

On a more serious note, is it all down to him or the manager's style?

Bit like the manager picking up his money because he has no idea how to manage.

Wouldn’t shock me to see Benkovic being recalled and Liverpool doing the same because Wilson is a complete waste playing for us :ayatollah:

He was useless under Warnock and is equally inept under Harris. Get rid as soon as someone is daft enough to give us some money for him.

Honestly I don't care anymore.

I really wanted Murphy to come good and every time Warnock/Harris played him I would think "This is his chance, time to shine!" but he never did.

The only regret if he goes is that £10m plus wages have been spent that have ultimately counted for nothing

Agreed. How many "last chances" does he need to prove himself ? He'll be 26 in February, if he's not proved himself by now (particularly at Championship level) you really have to questiion whether it will ever happen.

A flash of genius every 10 games simply isn't going to cut it. I'm sure he would have been sold by now if it wasn't for the wages he's now come to expect.

69 games for us with 8 goals and just 6 assists is simply not £10m well spent, no matter how you dress it up !! Wilson can't be far off that rate in less than half a season and could have been bought for £12m in the summer :o

He's just rubbish, he doesn't seem to have the bottle to go out and do it week in week out, it's a shame you can see he has the talent, just not the bollocks.

Not sure Benkovic will go back, although your thread last night was expanded on today ;)

Pretty positive Wilson won't go back and don't really see how he is 'wasted'; although I do think he could/should be better utilised :thumbright:

He scored 8 goals last season and 3 in the Premier League that’s 11 in total and he’s certainly had more than 6 assists? But he certainly doesn’t suit our managers style like Bobby Reid who is now top scorer for Fulham playing in midfield and is probably worth £20m now! Wouldn’t be surprised if someone takes a punt on Murphy and he’ll be a success like Reid!
