Tom Wilson-Brown

He'd walk into our side (literally cos he can't run).  But I think starting for Porto is marginally more appealing to him.  

I'll be honest, I didn't realise he was at Porto, particularly when Port Vale is more his level.

He’s got a back problem 

No coming back from that

I've always been impressed with him when he plays for us in pre season. I think he's very steady and reliable.

 

Martin was tossing water bottles in rage a couple pre season games ago when Wilson Brown tried a cross field pass that didn't come off so maybe he doesn't rate him.

 

I think he will end up being better for his new club than any centre backs we sign this summer.

You're undying optimism for the youth is admirable but you do know that some of them will be shite don't you?

I don't blindly rate every youngster that is coming through for us if that's what you're saying.

 

I wasn't alone with being impressed by TWB last summer, I remember him widely getting good reviews alongside the likes of Aluko and Page who are cemented first teamers now.

 

He's not done much this pre season but has still been pretty solid, was the best player in the second half against Northampton.

 

I think we have to recognise that we are in league one, our finances are in the toilet and our recent history of recruiting centre backs has been abysmal. I would rather go with someone who I have watched and seems reliable than whoever the club roll the dice on.

Don’t think he’s said anything particularly outlandish there

Me neither but I've yet to see him criticise a young LCFC player, some won't be good enough

I have absolutely no idea I don't watch every youth game, I thought Ali was a bit crap in the last pre season friendly.

 

Here's a thought......... not every experienced player we sign will be worse than the LCFC youth in the same position

I don't see the benefit in me calling out players who are clearly not going to make it with us and who aren't performing in pre season.

 

In terms of players who have been given a chance I don't think I've ever been overly positive about Silko Thomas or Mcateer in the past for example.

After the way we handled Louis Page after pushing him out for an utterly woeful Joe Aribo (Experienced player) I won’t hold my breath

If we didn't take him to Spain then I assume he's not in MR's plans, in which case TaRa

I wouldn't worry about who is or isn't in Martin's plans.  He won't be here long.

Found it quite weird how he got taken off at half time quite a few times last season at Swindon

 

Seems to be quite a bit injury prone too - might explain the above... gets taken off whenever he feels a little niggle?

 

IF we are going to get in 3 new centre backs (assuming Faes, Okoli, Nelson, and Souttar all leave) with someone like Kevon Gray as 4th choice then I don't mind selling Wilson-Brown tbh

 

I can see Wilson-Brown becoming a bit like Sam Hughes - just mainly around League One
