You don’t know for sure that he’s not though, do you…

Well he was banned from playing in an U17 tournament because his age didn't match his birth certificate...

Not going Celtic

His agent told us “Wilfred is unfortunately not coming to Celtic. The news is false”.

Rodgers basically wrecked him, best to steer well clear of that.

A suggestion he’s signed the thing!

Fair enough, just don’t be bad Wilf, we all know he has/had the quality.

His best football of his career was under Rodgers. Complete myth

He was kicked out for failing the age wrist scan.

I also considered this, but I think he put in a good shift last year when fit and that was his final year of contract and in a lower league.  Could easily have dialled it in but didn't.  

 

He seen what happened to Youri. All the talk of him going to a huge club. Then he gave up on us and it seems his only offer was Villa. Hardly the man u Madrid gig he was being linked with.

He declined badly and was ruined by many injuries.

Errrr…. You didn’t say that, because there is more detail to it.

You mean Champions League, finished above Man U. That Villa?

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I'm totally indifferent to Wilf now. As there is no doubt we've seen the best of him already. Not quite sure why his form disappeared over the hill. But unless it rises again like Lazarus. He's a Prem squad player at best. 

[CrazyKopCorner]

Everton seem pretty confident he's signing for them. 

 

We really have sunk low haven't we

Have we? Perhaps we haven’t offered him a contract that matches his old one….. so why would he want to stay? How is being sensible sinking low?

 

Let’s not forgot he’s been pretty dreadful for two years last season being an exception, maybe it’s time for him to go.

Everton have been crap for years. - I just think of them as a pretty lousy club to play for 

 

Just a few years ago we were giving them our cast offs. 

 

You're right though if they come up with the money, they have new ownership, new stadium possibly they are more of an attractive proposition

We finished above everyone for one season. Look at us now.

 

Yes that villa that with the extra games this year. So will probably struggle to finish 8th to 10th.

They are, but Wilf’s stock has also dropped, he has fallen off a cliff in terms of form, and because of the type of player he is, unfortunately these are the type of offers he will get, unless he moves over seas.

I agree with you there. 

 

The season we went down Wilf was difficult to watch at times 

 

It'd be great to get the old number 6 destroyer Wilf back

He got banned from a tournament because his age didn’t match a scan on his wrist. What’s the difference between that and what I said

He was worked out quite a while back - that player is never returning because the PL players know how to exploit his weaknesses. One of the reasons why he worked higher up the pitch was his lack of skill was less of a problem.  The issue we have is i don't think he is good enough to grow in the more attacking role, and i think he will regress to old Wilf quite quickly back in the number 6 role.

 

Imho, Wilf staying will not be some sort of massive coup for this club. It will show that noone else was really offering him anything interesting, and if the best he is getting is from Everton that tells you all you need to know. If he stays, i hope its not an a crazy deal. His experience will obviously be valuable, but his injury record is horrible and his best days are behind him.

Well you didn’t mention a wrist or a scan for a start, it’s not that deep. 

[Gazza M]

Not fussed if he stays or goes. Hamza is pretty comparable as DM nowadays. We need better than both though ultimately. 

[richardsfoxes]

Love Wilf but sort of hope we both move on and give someone new a chance. 

[Richard]

Happy if he's staying as it leaves more room in PSR to bring in new players.

I said his age didn’t match his birth certificate but you want me to explain the rationale around how that age was determined?
