I thought Wilson did okay at the end of season, and don't mind him as a squad player.

Although, we really could do with a couple of young, decent signings. Just to inspire us a little.

I guess the £12m signing of Rodriguez should've done that - but given his injury record, he's inspired very few. It's like we're just waiting for the next long term injury. Given how frugal we are, I'm gobsmacked such money has been sanctioned for someone with such a shocking injury record.

I only hope this is a sign of things to come and the purse strings will be a bit loser. But as a pessimist, I've got a feeling it was just a thoughtless signing. Let's see.

I'm a big softy. I feel very sorry for Marc Wilson. he did little wrong at the end of last season. In fact he was one of our better performaning players.

He has an opportunity to be part of the squad and do what a professional footballer is asked to do. Put a shift in.

If we had bought two or three other players by now people would be more warm in welcoming him to the club. Instead, if he is announced next his scrapbook will be full of negative articles and comments of derrision - none of which he deserves.
