Rory Wilson

[pablo_picasso]

We just have to hope that he doesn't pull a Chukweumeka on us & fuck off to Chelsea after refusing the contract...

Well, in fairness, he did join us after rejecting Rangers' contract offer after they'd looked after him since he was a kid.

Which is why I am concerned. Would I be surprised?

No. As you point out, there is form for it.

Wouldn't stop me being disappointed though...

[pablo_picasso]

Scrap that. He has already turned 18 apparently...

🚨 Aston Villa remain in contract talks with Rory Wilson — they have tabled several contract offers of five years. Several European sides, including Bayer Leverkusen, are believed to be interested in him.

Imagine reporting that to the police.

Sounds like we haven't given up, at least. I would like to see him on the bench sooner or later. Against Wycombe, maybe? If that doesn't persuade him to stay it's probably a lost cause.

[Dogtanian]

I can't see him staying. He'll be eager to go out and play and will have plenty of offers that will see him on the pitch quicker than he will with us.

If we are struggling to get Duran to stay on the bench behind Watkins, imagine being Rory Wilson - would you want to wait your turn?

And you know what those Rorys are like, very difficult to deal with.

Surely if bigger clubs are interested we could convince a decent one to take him on loan. We get to keep him on the books and he gets to play more.

What 'bigger' club is an 18 year old with 0 career first team appearances going to go to and play a lot?

Well the post above says Bayern Leverkusen are interested in him. Why would they be a more attractive prospect to him if he's not going to play more? I'd assume if he's dragging his feet on signing he feels he can get game time sooner by signing somewhere else.

Edit - probably should have specified that by bigger, I mean bigger than where we normally loan our kids out to.

[Footy-Vill]

This guy just an utter irrelevance other than potentially getting some money for him as he will not be playing for villa seniors.
There are too many of these signings now that need a section away from main discussion board.
I think must have been some agreement to have to sign him under Gerrard.
Not interested whatsoever as he's something to do with Gerrard tenure.

[PeterWithesShin]

They're not a bigger club.

[Footy-Vill]

No body cares about this ! What's it got to do with Villa first team ?

[PeterWithesShin]

As I say to people that don't like your posts, don't read and reply if you don't like it.

When you say 'nobody' I presume there's more than one person whose opinion you're referring to?

[Footy-Vill]

Yes, you are quite correct. I'm still irritated by certain people's wilful disregard for the international player topic that was started for conversation!

When I tried to explain, I read that no one was interested! That hurts! Particularly since all I like to do is improve how things are discussed on the site by making it simple to use and recommend discussions are in the appropriate sections.

Although I don't need to add anything extra to Wilson's thread to this from here on in I do have strong feelings regarding Gerrard signing him. Also this Wilson is a reminding symbol of Gerrard and it was grossly unfair that Deano was replaced for that guy, and I truly loved Deano so I'm bias and I disliked SG. I loved Emery is in place now! I thank you for your recommendation to see the viewpoint of I don't enjoy the posts I read and will do that suggestions PWS.
My issue remains Gerrard and seeing Wilson is reminding me of him and Purslow colluding.

Sorry!
