He had his chance here, and didn't take it. He can moon around looking disinterested for someone else now.

He's 20 FFS How can he NOT be naturally fit, as a 20 year old footballer ?? This is what worries me about him. The whole mystery virus that was the perpetual excuse for his general shitness after he showed us his breakfast at the Wolves game, and now he's on an "intensive fitness regime" ...

Exactly. We've gone down the road of stuffing our team with loan players a couple of times, under Micky Adams Mk2 and Hyypia, and both times its almost got us relegated.

Man U would not be looking to loan him back to us with a view to him sitting on the bench, and I hardly think Wilson would come here to be 3rd choice. The whole point of loaning out young players is so that they get the regular game-time they need to help with their development. If they're in...

Well, who else was there ? As others have said, he clearly has talent, but the fact that he ended up starting most games on the bench once Baldock was fit spoke volumes. He was here on a season-long deal, so I guess we just had to try and make the best of it. Lets see if Hughton actually makes...

Absolutely. I think a factor in our fantastic start to last season was that week in, week out we were putting out an XI that had ZERO loan signings. Wilson was the first loan we had this season, and whilst I was happy at his arrival, for about three-quarters of his spell he was yet another one...

I think the simple fact is, loan players rarely carry the motivation to put a shift in. You'll get the odd gem, like a Teixeira or a Zamora, but 95% of the time you'll end up with a Wilson or a Gardner. They know they're just passing through, no need to bust a nut.

It brings me back to wondering just how 'bovvered' a young loan signing from a big Premier League club is ever going to be. I expect Wilson, as a Manchester United player, probably see's himself as being above the likes of Brighton, and was likely to be going through the motions here to a...

If we signed him it would be more in hope than expectation that he would improve. All this wishy-washy "illness" talk, I've not seen a single quote nailing down exactly what it was that was supposed to be wrong with him. Throwing up on the pitch on New Years Day is one thing, but when he's still...
