Harry Wilson

[Patricks_Berger]

He had massive potential. He was very good at youth level, powerful, direct, strong shot. He obviously did very well at Derby and when he returned, he was excellent against Everton and was unfortunate not to score after hitting the post (IIRC). If that shot had of went in, who knows what might have been or if he didn't get injured a few weeks later?

He was very impressive the next pre-season though and looked like he was ready to kick on, but it just didn't happen for him that season. We do have a tendency to overhype our youth players, but IMO Ibe deserved the hype and with a bit of luck could have went on to have a much different career.

Didn't Rogers have him playing wing-back...? Also the whole team was struggling at the time - difficult for young players to come through and settle in those circumstances.

Aye, I think that Everton game I mentioned he played RWB.

TBF, Ibe wasn't much older than Wilson when he was at Crewe and it didn't work out. A few more seasons in the Championship might have been a better path for Ibe too.

Either way, £15m was a crazy deal at the time.

Add in 6m for Brad SMith and we really did rip off Bournemouth

I thought working under Eddy with a smaller side might of bought the best out in him, the powers that be must of too as I'm sure we put a buy back clause in with the deal.
I agree A few more seasons in the championship might of done him the world of good

Scored a cracking free kick against Soton in the FA Cup

[Rigadon]

From the BBC:

Derby County's Harry Wilson has scored eight goals from outside the box in all competitions this season, at least twice as many as any other player in the top four tiers of English football in 2018-19. Five of those eight have been from direct free-kicks.

Harry Wilson has had a hand in 14 goals across all competitions for Derby this season (11 goals, three assists), more than any of his team-mates.

Him, Brewster and Jones added to the squad next season frees up money to be spent on a class centre back and perhaps cover for up front. Don't really need an awful lot more in the squad now

I’d like.....

Out - Migs, Lovren, Moreno, Lallana, Studge, Origi

In - New back up Gk, LB/LCB, CAM, Versatile Forward

Promote - Brewster, Wilson

Whilst I wouldn't disagree with you, I think Lovren will stay, the rest should go, for their own sake, agree with everything else, we'll see Hoever soon enough as well.

I'd take Wilson back at the end of January. There may br some tight games come the end of the season, nice to have back up in attack from someone capable of knocking in winners from 30yards.

Aside from the screamers he's scoring, what's his overall game like? I watched some of the first half last night and he was pretty quiet. He had a few nice touches but that's all I noticed.

I really want him to succeed here but I'm not sure his overall game is up to it?

Great, according to Derby fans.
He's played in something like 5 different positions for them, including deeper in midfield, and supposedly been very good in all of them, doing defensive work, tracking back, build-up play, all that stuff.

He's now been continuously good for two seasons; Hull, pre-season with us and Derby, with a brilliant scoring record. No guarantees he'll succeed here, but he definitely deserves a chance.

And according to Biesla.

that’s the most important thing because surely our loan system is to give players the chance to get experience and then come into the first team squad. I know they build up their reputation making them more saleable also but if Wilson doesn’t get a shot then others may think twice about joining us.

Gomez, Trent and hopefully Brewster are youngsters that have gone straight into the first team squad and bypassed the loan process. I am struggling to think of a player who went on loan, did well and came into the first team squad to get a decent amount of minutes.
