Don't think we've been an attractive club to sign a contract this long for a long time either.3.5 year deal with the option of another year shows exactly how highly we rate him! Can't remember the last time we signed someone on such a long contract

With Sayyadmanesh on loan with an option to buy and Longman signing permanently, I don’t see where that leaves a place for Wilks after returning from injury. I imagine Acun and Shota will want to retain the core of our best players like Honeyman, KLP, Greaves, Docherty whilst shifting some of the deadwood like Cannon, Moncur, Wilks, Scott etc. in the summer. Then there’s the likes of Smallwood and Eaves who could earn extensions depending on how they perform for the rest of the season.
And if not we'll activate the year and easily break 7 figures from a desperate league 1 club in summer.Bit early to call Wilks deadwood. He was our top scorer last year and he's had a difficult start but hopefully the competition kicks him on
He won't have seen Wilks much, but based on last season, I'd expect he will be given a chance.
If Grant gets the Sunderland job, can see him coming in for Wilks in the Summer.

I like Wilks, and I even think Scott still has potential, but both have sort of stagnated when compared to KLP. I hope if they do get given a chance by Shota, he’s able to get something more out of the pair of them that McCann couldn’t.
Wilks does need to get out from the McCann comfort zone. He plays him regardless of how he plays.
In other news, I wouldn't mind seeing Tyler Smith get a loan move

Scott is ****e. Awful attitude, eats takeaways multiple times a week. Needs shifting. Wilks has genuine potential and has shown it already. Scott is stealing a wage and we'll see that when he moves on and falls through the divisions. The u23 I know says he's one of the worst trainers guaranteed doesn't even stand out in u23 games but got loads of chances because Ehab paid a fee.I like Wilks, and I even think Scott still has potential, but both have sort of stagnated when compared to KLP.

New coach wanted to have a look at him same with Arthur
Helps with his planning for the future
Why? We still need a squad.

Assuming we play a 352, we've got KLP, Eaves, Forss and Allahyar as the options.
Hard to see Tyler getting much of a sniff
1 or both of KLP or Allahyar will be out wide.
Allahyar could play through the middle too, 6ft with bags of pace.
