petehinton Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Find it very odd that they would let him go up for a medical and agree terms, only to then move the goalposts on transfer fee. Either on our side or their side. Pearson et al are very much set on doing things ‘the right way’, so I very much doubt we let Wilson go all the way up there before we were happy with everything. Stinks of Bolton wanting to change the fee, or maybe there was something in the medical that didn’t sit well with them so they’ve either pulled out, or that was the basis for change in fee? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the fee, presumably the structure of it, rather than the amount. Bolton reporter (Marc Iles) is pretty good, & he said it is definitely not medical related. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee agreed, player doesn't "fail" his medical but it highlights some potential concerns about his injury ("he'll always have to manage it" Pearson said) - so maybe Bolton wanted to hedge their bets and change what was a straight up fee to one paid in instalments based on how many games Wilson manages to play?

The story I read from him said Bolton had reconsidered their options after doing their due diligence. Whatever that means - medical, attitude, psychological- who knows?

Monkeh Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 1 hour ago, Nogbad the Bad said: If Bolton pulled out after 'doing due diligence' it would seem to indicate a problem with Wilson's fitness. If the medical showed up problems it's unlikely he'd pass one at another club either. NP said he'd have to manage his injury for the rest of his career, but added this is not an uncommon situation apparently. Perhaps it will be a case of Wilson managing this injury for the rest of his contract with the player hopefully 'coming good' to the extent he is an asset to City while at the same time proving to other clubs he can stay fit. He passed his medical, Bolton didn't want to pay the agreed fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Murmurs he is in discussions with Birmingham. The fact he’s been left out of pre season camp suggests he probably has talks somewhere lined up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate it’s a squad game & you need more than one but I’d be surprised. Whatever happens I think it is obvious all the players who didn’t travel to Austria or are in injury rehab can go if we find clubs for them.

I wish him well but we were absolutely right to move him on. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Given his undoubted talent I genuinely believe that Nige & the team must have seen some sort of flaw. Whether that be physical, mental or character we will never know but somewhere along the line Nige has lost all faith in Kane ever making it at a top end Championship club. Either that or he was just a cheap punt at the time that once seen close up we have then decided he will never possess the required defensive side to his game. Shame really because we all thought he was one hell of a signing 12 months ago. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He now has to deliver or his talent will be wasted. Great to see BCFC is no longer the cosy club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleysbeard Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Good luck to him. Shame it didn’t work out but we move on. It’s not really a loss to us given all we saw were glimpses of talent in the preseason games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Quoted as ‘ no fee but with a sell on ‘clause. A bit surprising but we must have really wanted to move the lad on .
