Hi eds,
Was wondering if you have some info about our youngsters Wilson and Kent? Are they in our future or.?
Seems like they have the talent and are playing well, but somethings off. Get the «Pacheco/ Suso feeling» about them.
Have tried the searchengine.

{Ed001's Note - Wilson is in the balance, but Kent, as of now, looks to be on his way out.}

Why is Wilson only in the balance ed, he has been scoring for fun in the under 23's as captain, has he not caught the eye in training when with the first team?

{Ed001's Note - he has been scoring, but he is not quite doing enough to guarantee him a long term future. At 20 he has to be doing more.}

Cheers Ed, so what does he need to do more of or improve on to make that next step, appreciate your views.

{Ed001's Note - the obvious answer is play better. Train harder, stay behind after training and work on his game. He has to go that extra mile, as there are a ton of quality youngsters around, he needs to do that bit more to show he deserves the chance.}

He's 20 and never really looked like getting a real look in other than when we had a real injury crisis and fixture crisis earlier this season. His loans into men's football have never gone well meaning he has no trust from the management he has shown that he can't adapt to playing against men and has had injury problems along with billy big balls problems after his wales call up aged 15. He's done very well this year but perhaps he's at his level? Pre season isn't really a judge for a player so perhaps a loan to a championship side until January next season would if he performs gain him some trust. If he doesn't want that he will probably sold for £4/ 5m in the summer.

If he's not showing enough passion, commitment and wanting to better himself then why is he captain? Shouldn't a captain, even at youth level be a player that's already shown these?

{Ed001's Note - I never said he didn't show them, I said he needs to show more.}

He should be on the bench and given a run out where and when it suits to give him a chance. He deserves it big time imo.

He needs to be given a chance. Only then will we see if he is good enough, I will be very disappointed to see him leave without being given a chance to prove himself.

Selling Harry Wilson a guy who scored like 27 goals really?

Are people skeptical on someone who scored 23 goals in the U23 this season. Oh my!

I don't get it either Harry! I thought a strikers job was to score goals? I couldn't care if he was the first one home every night if he was scoring 20+ goals a season. I wouldn't give that type of player the captaincy but I don't see why it should stop him given chances. He's obviously talented enough.

I didn't say you did ed, sorry if I made my post sound different than what I meant. I said if he wasn't showing enough of those things. Surely there's a talented lad that's giving his all that would maybe deserve the arm band more. I know there's more to being a captain than effort etc but at youth level I think it would send out a strong message if the captain was the lad who was flogging his guts out week in week out. I possibly read your post more negative than you meant originally 😁.

{Ed001's Note - got you no worries mate.}

Wilson is a good player but I feel he is a bit predictable -
he has a sweet left foot but overuses it so every defender knows that he is going to shift to his left when he gets the ball. He has come back well from his injury and in my opinion has improved this season but enough? He needs to be constantly aware that he is in danger of being overtaken by others who are hungrier and so make sure he is the hungriest. Also don't forget a number of his goals have come from penalties so stats don't prove everything.

So basically, Wilson is doing everything on the pitch but not enough off it? In terms of attitude?
