This guy development sounds like its swift Not saying he is good as never saw him play but to get a international cap so young for a World Cup team is encouraging for him Isn't Wilson 15? It's probably no surprise he's not near the national team at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably no surprise he's not near the national team at the moment. 16 and playing for the u21s But with no acclimatisation to the premier league Like I tried to say will this aussie kid play for Newcastle before Wilson plays for us? If we assume Wilson is 2 years off and gets a sniff at villa when he's 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rory wasn’t Scottish people would be creaming themselves to say how we scout prospects. It’s just a boring stick to beat the club with. Sans Gerrard, we are doing a lot right to ensure the long term prospects of the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not even get much game time at the WC - he’s only been capped recently. There’s a huge leap between the Australian League and here. What good is scouting eh if we just buy cool sounding names from abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a guy with 9 games in the a league to his name, you think he's ready for PL football? Edit - and if he's that good and he's that ready and Newcastles scouts are that good why did they spend the summer chasing him that joined PSG? Transfer window closed a month ago and they didn't sign him then, obviously not that well set up are they... Edit 2 - also "he will play at the world cup" have you seen the state of this aussie squad?

The positivity we had as recently as September 2021, they now have. Fairly unlikely we'll ever finish above them again. This season is probably our one chance left.
