If he played for Villa or Chelsea a Saudi club would be paying 45m, not 9m.

that’s because those clubs wouldn’t be daft enough to agree to such a low release fee

Maybe in his pomp we could've got 40m for him but now?

 

No-one wanted him for free last year. He's been a good servant but we need to get younger and spend less on wages, 9m would be decent.

If he couldn't get a better club when available for free last summer, what's he done in the last season to persuade one to pay £9m for him?


 

played in the prem?

He'd done that around 200 times before this season as well.

 

I like having him at the club but his best days seem a long way behind him now.

 

He's well settled here and I can't see him getting a significantly better offer elsewhere.

Do we know if he didn't have offers from "better" clubs, maybe he did and in the end decided he was better placed staying on with us

Was hoping we would have seen him gone already.

You forget that we were his last option a year or so ago, if someone wants him he’s off.

As previously mentioned, no one wanted him for free last summer, why would they pay 9m for him this summer, after another average season and another injury? 

Average season in a shit side, we were much better with him in the side (still nowhere near the level, obviously). He's never gonna be a starter but you can see a West Ham or Fulham getting him in as a rotational piece at that price. Only question for me are his wages

But why did "a West ham or Fulham" go for him when they could have had him for free? 

 

Spoiler, because he isn't very good anymore and is made of paper mache.

Agreed. For the wages he will want and how few games he will inevitably be available for, it’d be bad business for anyone spending £9mill on him.

We miss him when he isn't playing so don't see how people say he isn't very good, happened last season as well we missed him when he got injured and went through a patchy spell.

 

Still would be good as a DM in the Prem for some teams

Let's not forget we were absolute dog shit though.  We did miss him when he was out injured but is that a case of him being still being good or just that the alternatives in our squad were absolute horse shit?

 

The thing is of course is that not every club thoroughly checks out players.  I think he'll still have a fairly decent rep and could be purchased just on being a known experienced player.  Given the fees for players to Prem sides, £9mill would be ok for a squad player for a lot of clubs. Starters fetch 2 or 3 times that.

There was a time when Wilf was one of my favourite players and I believe his singing saved us from relegation in 2017, but it's time we turned the page on the chapter.  I want everyone gone bar the kids and start again.

Wilf's profile screams Everton to me. He'd fit Moyes' approach of being asked to mop up and not do much else. Plus, the Toffees love throwing money around at average players, and Wilf has been decidedly average for three years now.

I'd have said he'd be first on West Ham's list under any other manager, but I can't see Potter being keen on somebody who can barely manage a five-yard pass without skewing it to the opposition. If Wilf is still ours by January and Graham's got the boot, they'll be in for him.

Because we likely paid a significant sign on fee which may have been around the 5m mark or higher and his wages would have now dropped 30-50%. 
 

So financially the package may work out about the same. He’s got a big profile, I’m sure someone will take a chance on him.
