| No doubting his quality, that was a very good season he has just had. Fulham know what he gives, and so do a lot of on lookers, but at thirty four, one year contracts have to make sense.

| It would be a huge indication of how much transfer funds we have available.

 Yes all day long although at 34 , it may have to be one year contract but on his day, he can be unplayable. An hour of Willian will be worth having,the Olise position needs covering for a minimum of three months. I think we need to assume Wilf has gone and that supplies us with a decent transfer/wage pot.

| Willian was once an exceptional player, but at 34, he is not a good bet for us. I saw him a few times playing for Fulham and the moments of magic were very brief. Young blood please - not old'ns, 
 Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. | |

As it's a free transfer I'd take him, but only as a substitute, which I don't think he'd want to be.

I just think with the career he’s had and the age he is now, he’ll still be going to the highest offer, which won’t be us. Edited by monkey (02 Jul 2023 12.45pm)
