    I've heard a rumour that Wilson

    is being lined up for Southampton for a big fee.

    Has anyone else heard anything?

    Not heard that one - heard we are actively pushing his name out there to clubs.

    Doesn't his contract end sooner rather than later? WOuld have thought we might have struggled for a big fee?

    The word on the street is much like dog poop but as it goes, there are 4 clubs interested in Signing Wilson.

    Not sure who those 4 are but if you're a team at the bottom half and you can get him on a low weekly wage with massive bonuses for goals and appearances you'll be getting a very valuable tool to assist in staying in the Premier League.

    For a club with ambitions of the top 4 he's simply not reliable enough.

    I think we should look to sell for anything we can get and bring in Jonathan David from Lille as backup to Isak.

    He's out of contract in the summer of 2025.

    A cheeky £20m bid in Jan and flog Wilson for £5m would be decent.

    £20m over 5 yrs = £4m a year so this deal booked on this years finances is a net profit.

    I can guarantee one thing...it's not a big fee!

    He's 32, contract running out and always injured.

    He could possibly do a good job for Southampton if, IF he can stay fit. And by good job, I mean scoring 10 goals from Jan.

    But it's a massive risk for them. £10M at the most, realistically more like £5M.

    Agree with both of you. Great swap.

    We will have a lot of competition for David. So I think £20M might still not be enough and he could well be waiting for his free transfer.
