Totti 0 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Erm...there's more to football than just going for a quick fast move. Youngsters can ruin their career by making the wrong move. If Wilson were to join Man Utd just now, he'd be miles away from their first team and could quite possibly spend the next couple of seasons on loan at lacklustre championship clubs. Even then, he might not even make it. Wesley Sneijder had loads of massive offers but stayed at Ajax till he was 23. I'd like to think that any promising young players we produce will at least stay for a few seasons then maybe consider moving if the time is right. Plus Wilson will get better and his value will increase in a few seasons, should he keep going. Edited January 12, 2010 by Totti 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think it is on the agenda to be honest. It would not be a good move for Rangers or Wilson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Preston Burke 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 If Wilson moves to Tottenham he'll end up like Hutton or Kyle Naughton And a move to Man Utd would be even worse unless they're as skint as rumours suggest and they can't afford long term replacements for Ferdinand and Vidic 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I find it hard to believe that many of our present squad are so good that a top EPL club will snap them up as a first choice player. We're just not that great a team and we are certainly lacking in super stars. Best chances at the moment go to MacGregor, Bougherra and Boyd, but definitely not to any of the top 6 teams and more likely a mid table club or less. The likes of Wilson and Fleck are too young, inexperienced and lacking in reputation to play for most Premiership teams. At best they could be signed as "potential" and then sent out on loan to a League One team for game time. They'd be far better getting their experience playing for Rangers. There was a promising Celtic lad who turned down a contract and signed for Man U a few years back. I haven't heard about him since and he's so anonymous now I no longer even remember his name... I think if you're 17/18 and getting a fair few games for the OF, you're already pushing the envelope, so thinking you can go even further is a dangerous, self destructive ego at work. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Miller ??, now playing for Hibs 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks. So Celtic to Hibs - great career progression... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks. So Celtic to Hibs - great career progression... Miller was actually a half decent player, very composed on the ball. Moving to United was the wrong move for him though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,529 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yeah, I used to think he was very useful when he played for Celtic. Not sure what went wrong but a lack of games at Utd was always going to hinder his development. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty much Cal's point though, I guess. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
