Still gutted he didn't stay with us, would be a good signing for any league 1 club. I thought there were rumours of Premier League interest in him? Although that could have been his agent.

Ambitious Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 7 minutes ago, Animal is a Ram said: Bit of noise on the app formerly known as Twitter that Barnsley are looking. A very bizarre situation, I thought he’d get a championship team easily but there’s plenty of good goalkeepers on the market so perhaps he’s being left in the lurch a little bit. Barnsley aren’t a club in a great state, either, the fans and ownership are at odds and they will do very well to get in the playoffs next season. r_wilcockson and Animal is a Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It's still odd how he decided to leave without having something lined up. Also why would you want to drop down a division when you've finally become a first team keeper. Sulked because he got dropped once.

tomsdubs Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I thought for sure he's had a good offer from somewhere but it seems not, strange one. Maybe we decided not to offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hennessy Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Seems like he's thrown his Teddy in the corner. I have no problem with players moving for a better club etc ... but for no reason at all always (to me) seems odd...you'd have thought he'd have got somewhere new by now...

He was offered a deal but it didn’t meet his own valuation of himself, I half expected him to return to Sheffield Wednesday which I would have understood but if he ended up at Barnsley it would look like a mistake on his part.

His agent probably told him he could get him a good move, if he ends up at Barnsley in L1 he's going to look silly.

samtheram83 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Didn't Warne also say something along the lines of he wouldn't be guaranteed number 1 and he's always looking to upgrade players in every position? I know players shouldn't always expect to be 1st choice but maybe he thought he could go somewhere and be pretty much nailed on for a start on the same money. He's a good keeper, particularly at league one level and at a good age. Could always be about game time not money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good keeper, particularly at league one level and at a good age. Could always be about game time not money. Derby have had some weird s*** going on with goalies starting with Carson going to sit on Man city's bench for a million in loan fees, which we gave them back to cover his wages. Still their, but rumours that Howard Carter has recently found him entombed and you can find his gloves in the British Museum. Then we had Allsopp who was like Willy Fogg with clubs and turned down a new contract after getting a first team place. A mythical goalie from Forest Green Rovers turned having refused a two year deal then never came back. Wildsmith gets a place and promotion having spent 7 years in solitary confinement at Wednesday then leaves without a club to go to seemingly. Finally we have the lesser spotted Vickers, who we assumed was the new No 1 but only got 3 games then disappeared back to the bench. It's Kevin Poole isn't it. I know it.

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Could be there was an offer but not a very firm one that managed to evaporate when he actually tried to accept it. Dean (hick) Saunders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was clear to see the body language between Warne and Wildsmith had been off for a few months. I think this is a straightforward case of not getting on with your manager. I have certainly been in that position before and quit a job without something to go to. Macintosh and Carl Sagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep seeing people say this yet the only tangible evidence we have is Warne literally leaping into his arms after a game, which I personally would never do nor accept with someone I am not getting on with.

Carl Sagan Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I think Wildsmith was unlikely to be number one as it's a position Warne and his team have clearly identified as needing improvement. Wildsmith was generally good, but had his mad lapses of judgement that cost us at times last season. To his credit, having spent so much of his (short) career as an understudy, he wants to play. I think he should be applauded for that, whether Barnsley or elsewhere. I'd suggest all the options we've been linked with, will likely be better keepers.

Dartmouth Ram Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Talksport reporter quoting that he's off to WBA. Interesting move, but he'll be a backup option by the looks of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 It's an odd career being a goalkeeper. If you're a back-up one, you're getting paid but rarely playing. Depends if you'd rather have a pay rise or a regular game. Perhaps he chose the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Weird choice to go there. Alex Palmer shared the Golden Glove last year, I can't see him going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Pure speculation but can only think he valued himself more than what we were offering. Probably expected another club to match him with his demands. Only offers he got was League 1 or clubs not willing to match his money. WBA probably have given him his agreed wage but he comes in as a number 2. A bit odd, but no hard feelings from me regards his future. SKRam and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
