Well said I don't see how it can make for a happy camp tbh people on 15-20 k and then others on 100k as I say can't make for a happy camp .The Subhuman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2026 6:42 pm I find it interesting players like Gruev on 15k a week have to play with a player who's no better but who's on 100K..Mitigated transfer fee or not

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
I voted for 3 years, he won’t sign a 2 year deal.
Good fit for us, skilful, creative, good at set pieces.
I remember his Derby days though. Grrrrrr.

Nor idea if Gruev is on 15k but remember, he signed the contract. No-one held a gun to his head.Johnsie123 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2026 8:29 pm Well said I don't see how it can make for a happy camp tbh people on 15-20 k and then others on 100k as I say can't make for a happy camp .

That's football, Johnsie, especially with the promoted teams such as Leeds.Johnsie123 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2026 8:29 pm Well said I don't see how it can make for a happy camp tbh people on 15-20 k and then others on 100k as I say can't make for a happy camp .
Calvert-Lewin is on 100k a week, but it didn't effect the morale of the Leeds squad, infact DCL galvanised the spirit in our group.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
So, nine of our members don't think Wilson is a better option than we already have in our squad.
Have we watched Fulham's best player?

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
They probably have just decided they don't like him for little or no apparent reason.
However if he was South American for example everyone would be raving about him as he'd have a more glamorous profile.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
Indeed.
Lets face it, our group of Welsh players have served us well, three of them regular first-teamers over the last couple of seasons.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
Wilson is far better all-round midfielder than Gruev will ever be!
Ilia has served us well, but we can improve in that department too, I reckon Gruev could be one to leave Leeds soon pending on his current injury.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
I agree. Wilson is an excllent addition.
Regarding Gruev, personally Id keep him and makes some money on Aaronson.ilia is more creative.

3 years for me but performance based, assists, goals etc: It won't happen as agents would chuck all the toys out of the pram if their player was asked to be accountable.... Harry Wilson is a good addition to the squad imo

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
Stick Wilson as the pivot and Gruev will outclass him 95% of the time. That doesn't work the other way round because Gruev has a cultured left foot and can pick a pass.. Wilson is a better AMF/FOR but not 95% better..
Gruev is the better all round footballer imo

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
I have watched him numerous times, and other than last season, he didn't do anything of note. I've never really understood our fascination with him. We've seen players before turn into Prime Ronaldinho in order to get a lucrative new contract, then regress the following season. We can't really afford for this signing to fail due to the wages and contract length.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
Well. It seems we will soon see him in a Leeds shirt - medical permitting.
So lets stop whining and support him as a Leeds player, and trust the manager and staff to get something out of him like they did DCL and others.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
He wasnt my first pick, but a freebie senior player suits exactly where we are regarding consolidation in the top flight.

I'm ok with Wilson, AMF is a need. 4 years is too long but expected.

Re: Harry Wilson yes or no
Don't hold your breath Malcolm.
Aaronson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin, Bijol & Farke all received a lot of criticism last season, even though we finished 14th, got to a FA Cup Semi-Final & remained unbeaten in six matches vs Man U, Chelsea & Liverpool with Citeh only beating us by an odd goal in both games.

Every player gets criticism.
As does every manager.
Farke, Okafor, Aaronson etc don't have a divine right not to.
They all got plenty of praise as well, if they do well again they will again, if they don't they won't.
