Summer transfer window.

I've seen plenty of him mate.

He doesn't contribute much in terms of creativity from open play (stats back this up), he's not really got any pace to speak of, he just has a good left foot.

I think you're well overstating it to suggest that before this season Wilson was a "very good player", I'd have him as an average Premier League player who strikes a ball well with his left foot and delivers a good set piece - we've already got one of those.

Last thing I want us doing is signing players who are looking for their last big contract.

An ‘average’ prem player is fine - we are an average prem team..

Sell McNeil, bring him in on a free and we create funds to sign a first choice winger (be it Grealish/George, whoever)
 
Trippier I think yeah, I doubt there's much in that. Certainly hope there isn't. Delap though - Boyland has been suggesting pretty much all season that we're interested in going back in for him. Doesnt make it a guarantee but it's something we're genuinely considering. Would be so stupid imo.

I can see the thinking behind a Myko extension in some ways but at the same time I'm not sure how sensible I can ever feel it is to extend one of the worst players at the club.

Also obviously doesn't bode well for Aznou and suggests that next season he still wouldn't be trusted even as second choice, which I find pretty disappointing personally.
The Delap thing I would think would be practically nailed on that we'd still have interest. The money involved would be at most what he went for last summer and I doubt one poor season is going to make the scouts see him as a busted flush.

It's subjective, but I think stylistically we would suit him much better than Chelsea and I thought that at the time he went there. I think he chose based on people he knew and trusted rather than objectively what the best move would be.

I'm not saying we should sign him, it's hard to make that argument after the season he's had, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was of interest at the right price.
 
Moyes has ultimately done a great job this season and shut up a lot of posters including myself who were doubting him.

Early noises about our summer business is making me a bit nervous though I have to say. Myko contract extension? Interest in trippier?? Liam fkn Delap?????
I wouldn't worry that much, it's less the club making noises than know nothing wums looking for cheap thrills

And by signing average PL players we will stay an average team
I would rather sign 2 X 50 m really good players who start every week and improve the first 11 than signing 4 X25 m players who struggle to get a regular game but give us depth
 
Not every player we sign can be a big talent, and sometimes an average player with the right skillset can be worth more than his apparent value. It all depends.
