It's confirmed.

Be interesting to see which Wilson they get, either way, 4 year contract a bit of a risk for Leeds. Hopefully when we play Leeds it will be the disappearing Wilson that plays. Good luck to him though.

The club did the right thing not resigning him to those terms.

We move on.

He can only be going for money, and why not?
Good luck to him but what a pointless move in terms of his career, surely he could have done better or gone overseas for the adventure.

There's not a team in Europe that would give Wilson a four year deal and the wages he will get from Leeds.
He was linked to Villa where it was thought he would end up but I suspect when his form fell off a cliff during the last months of the season they changed their minds.

Much as I can't stand one of our better players going to a competitor in same league especially a sideways move I won't begrudge him the financial package he has negotiated good luck to him. If it weren't for Wilson's exploits late last year and early this I still lean towards we probably get relegated or certainly a close run thing.

Strange move obviously MONEY motivated, good luck Harry but I truly thought you had more class and ambition than that

Jules

Good luck to him. Excellent player for us in his time. The club really need to replace him and Raul with goals and assists otherwise we may be in big trouble next season. Hopefully new manager gets announced very soon and we can get some new players in. I think we need at least 7 in.

Four year deal on £120k a week is daft from Leeds, especially if they get relegated.

Tends to be the nature of the beast nowadays when running down a contract. Personally I would of offered Raul either same rumoured £100k a week he was on or a tad more for another season and used some of Wilsons improved offer from the club towards it. They would of known of other teams offers if they wanted to keep him. Keeping Raul looked the better option I thought but now we have neither and further weakened.

He is closing in on the end of his career, he is showing ambition in getting the biggest pay days he can while it lasts.

He's going cos he has Welsh team mates there.

It won't matter who our manager is unless we adequately replace our two, departing, top goalscorers from last season and also buy a midfield player who can defend aggressively, break up play and show a bit of ambition and a midfield box to box player who can play add something offensively.

Good luck to him, he's an average player that had a good run.

WindyCity

Good for him.  Got a great deal/payday.  That's what a professional footballer is looking for.  Nothing wrong with that.  Wish him well, he did score some thrillers for FFC.  That said, I'm glad he's moved on.  Would go for long stretches where he was basically invisible.  And we have some youngsters that can play his position that will get a chance.

True, whoever comes in has to have an innate knack of scoring against them. Its worth paying a premium for!


Twig

I have absolutely no problem with any of this. I don't blame him for taking the contract and I don't blame us for not offering it.

Same here. He had one golden spell lasting a dozen or so games this season sandwiched between spells of distinctly average performances where he wasn't even a starter much of the time
