How many times over the years has he lost the ball when facing his own goal & cost us? Again today. It staggers me that we keep making that same mistake. 

Thought he was terrible today .

He's here until 2027, he's another that take Leicester for granted and stayed  here because no other team wanted to buy him. He so past it that he's does the motions on the pitch because he gets a lovely wage

Exactly, mads has played with him now for nearly 2 years, how in that time has he decided it’s a good idea to fizz a ball into him with pressure on him less than 30 yards from his own goal

Totally Mads fault, he should know what Wilfs control is like

Mate, I like lots of your posts but that's disrespectful to Wilf who, for me, has been an absolute legend in nearly 10 years with us..

 

Not only that, from what I read his wages have a massive downgrade upon relegation, effectively giving him an exit pass out. 

 

He'll be gone at the end of the season. But overall, it's been magnificent service for us.

Been poor in the prem for a few years though. Good last year in the championship

Why did no-one take a punt on him last year when he was on a free? Reason has wage expectation is too much.

 

I would very much expect him to be here next season, unless he find someone willing to meet his expectations. He looked at Everton last year and they didn't come close to what we pay. If he has signed a deal its something him and his agent must have been satisfied with.

Is Wilf right here? 

 

Do fans have the right to say that one of players had a bad game and use the "they get paid a shite load of money" as a reason to justify the outward observation and comment? 

 

I think Wilf has missed the point here. Fans pay a lot of money to follow their team. Usually from working class backgrounds. They slog it out all week to be able to release and escape in the footballing world. If a player they feel is playing poorly due to them not putting in the work, then yes I do believe that they are entitled to voice their opinion and use the money as one reason. I think that this illustrates that footballers live in a bubble.

Very out of touch from him, if I turned up to work and spent a whole day ****ing everything up I touch, if I managed to keep my job I’d hear no end of it from the people at work. They work in the public eye so it’s magnified

[em9999]

Footballers don't live in reality 

 

If they had to do a real job they would fall apart ..

 

Pampered and over paid

[RedSoxUK]

Can always pay you less Wilfred.

I can see this from both sides. Players can have bad games, there is fans that slaughter players for one bad game. However, the one thing that cant stand is people like Soumare just not appearing arsed to turn up or any other player in that instance.

He was a promising player in his early days with us and had some patches where he looked good in a decent team in which his job was very basic: move the ball on 5 yards and hold position as a defensive midfielder. It’s the easiest job in football bar substitute goalkeeper. Nobody even expects you to tackle.

 

He has been awful for about 70% of his time here but he plays in a position which rarely gets singled out for criticism. Look how Eric Dier thrived despite being completely useless, it’s the same thing.

Ndidi doesn’t help himself by being really lazy. Watch him - rather than tracking runners in case there’s danger he’ll only do it once it’s obvious they are going to get the ball, and it’s astonishing how often players just run unchecked towards our back 4 as if we have no holding midfielder at all.

 

He’s been here ages yes, but that doesn’t mean he’s been a particularly great or likeable player. He’s a rich man’s Amartey, in that sense.

EDIT: just realised I’ve replied to an old post but still think it’s worth saying.

He is going to Beşiktaş.(He is the best for BJK news) 

[FoyleFox]

Deal agreed for €9.5 according to TalkSport.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Said in the transfer thread that pure profit fee is worth much more to us than the 23 appearances he'd make either side of injury this season.

 

Shake hands and let's move forward.

[AjcW]

Well as long as they're not sending it over in weekly 50p installments that's a cracking bit of business! 

[RobHawk]

Wish him luck, he's far from the problem with our squad but he needs a fresh start and we need to clear the decks. All the best wilf

[Turtle27]

Great player on his day. But we and him need a fresh start. Thanks Wilf and good luck. Overall good business for the club. 
 

just hope they don’t go a spend the money on a 35year old ex prem player for a replacement 😬

[Groby_Blue]

We appear to be learning lessons. If this comes off, just over £10mil for Coady and Wilf. Has Marti been given the DoF role as well as manager...?

 

Wilf would leave with my utmost thanks and respect. We thought we'd really struggle to find a replacement for Kante but in came Wilf who just slotted in and was almost as good as Kante for a few good seasons. He never seemed to lose a tackle. 

 

Injuries have left their mark on him but he never gave more than 100%, never caused any trouble and genuinely seemed to love playing for us for all these years. 

 

Another era potentially coming to an end but at least we can look to the future with some hope and excitement again now. 

 

Cheers Wilf.

Was never the same after Brendan the Butcher was through with him. Same with Justin.

[Aleksz]

Wilf is a fantastic servant to this club. Always just lacked that ability with the ball at his feet to make it at the very elite level and the injuries slowed him down. Could probably have taken a move like this the first time we went down, but decided to help us back up. Watching Enzo evolve him into a threat higher up the pitch was both baffling and brilliant. Best of luck to him, deserves another crack at European football. 

[Noahfence]

Doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with Soumare, Faes, Coady etc. He’s been a great servant but the time has come for him to go.

Wilfs been a good player for us but this is a good move for both parties, a fresh start. Good luck to him, he was one of the decent guys in a squad filled with wasters.

[VLC86]

Sad to see him go but that’s an excellent price if it happens.
