About halfway down

Brighton still just borrowers

Brighton are upset that Louis van Gaal revealed the terms of James Wilson’s loan deal, stating that the player can be recalled at any time. They think this could damage his focus but, basically, it’s none of their business. Wilson isn’t really their player, so they don’t get to make the rules. On loan, he’s still Manchester United’s man.

1. Nothing whatsoever has come out of the club to indicate that we are "upset" at LVG saying Wilson could be recalled.
2. All the while he's wearing the stripes, he is here playing for OUR club, so how could it possibly be "none of our business" ??
3. Who says we are trying to make the rules ? Wind yer neck in, Bluto

Set NotAndyNaylor onto him!

Since when did anything written in that vile rag matter?
As if the scum are likely to want our 4th choice striking option back.

And we're paying his wages. Samuel's an idiot.

Cheeky feck, ah well no one reads that anyway and by posting that article on NSC the total views wil probably treble so maybe that's what the 'journo' was going for!

I usually like Martin Samuel tbh, his column is one of the few reasons I try to navigate that horrific website of theirs (even though at work it usually crashes my browser within about 3 clicks). But when it comes to anything outside the PL, like a lot of journos he's often pretty clueless.

vegster · Feb 22, 2016

I used to read him until he moved to that vile rag, so, to me his opinion is an irrelevance.

Tubby-McFat-Fuc · Feb 22, 2016

Yer, cause he is vital to our success. We have hardly been over using him have we, and I would imagine if we get Murray in a couple of weeks, Wilson will become even more of a bit player.

I would like to know exactly what is wrong with James Wilson regarding his mysterious illness/ slight groin strain.

The Argus thought he would probably be in the squad for the last 2 games, but he wasn't.

Would you like your medical details to be discussed in public? The club keep it to themselves, which is how it should be.

Icy Gull · Feb 22, 2016

How can it possibly "damage his focus" when everyone connected with the Albion knew he could be recalled, fans included. I am assuming Wilson himself knew before LVG was quoted

Anyway he appears to be permanently unavailable these days. Maybe he wants to go home...

They normally let the public know of injuries to current players. Bong, Rosenier, March, Baldock, and slight injuries to Greer, Kayal ect.

WhingForPresident · Feb 22, 2016

Bizarre claim considering we all knew this was the case all along. But facts aren't really that important when you're working for the DM.

We were told, but not the exact details which you are demanding.

Gullflyinghigh · Feb 22, 2016

Has anyone actually said it could damage his focus? I assume they must've done for him to have written that but I don't remember seeing it anywhere.

atomised · Feb 22, 2016

Completely pointless use of a column inch. A youth loan always has a recall clause so why on earth would we be angry about it or shocked that LVG revealed this particular deal re this loan

The Oldman · Feb 22, 2016

AS NotAndyNaylor commented on a previous thread

Nothing to see here, folks. If you read the Metro link, it says that it comes from a story in The Independent. It was written by Miguel Delaney, a keen young football writer whom I know vaguely, and I contacted him when it dropped online last night to point out the recall option had been known from day one. He said he'd got the story from a source "high up" but admitted he hadn't checked and was furious - at the source and himself for not checking. But by then the Indy had gone to press and the online story had been picked up by the Star and Metro, neither of whom checked either.

That, my friends, is the state of the media today. Experienced journalists are made redundant because they're too expensive and replaced by people who are enthusiastic and cheap.

I happen to read The Mail at weekends - does that make my opinions a vile irrelevance

Wilson is made of balsa wood :moo:

brakespear · Feb 22, 2016

Never heard of him.

AmexRuislip · Feb 22, 2016

By the look of him, he should go back to his previous job of 'pie tester for Greggs' :tosser:
