Before I start I am delighted with the signings of Shelvey, Jovanovic and Cole. Not so with Wilson. Not because of his ability and potential, but his price.
Jovanovic and Cole were great deals because they were free and are quality. Shelvey is only 18 but has 3 years playing experience with Charlton and would only cost maximum £3m making him a steal as he has fantastic potential. However, with Wilson. This guy has potential but isn't as good as Kelly and Ayala who we already have. Plus, we could fork out £5m on him considering that he only has 1 year on his contract. Why not just wait until his contract runs out and pay 500k compensation (which has been reported) considering that he'll rarely play next season saving us £4.5 potentially which could be used to sign other players. He'll then get more playing time with Rangers making him a better player for 2011/12 season.
Finally, one of our better players, Benayoun, was sold for a modest sum of £5.5m. Benayoun was a regular last season and regularly scored and provided assists. This is a tad higher than Wilson who only played 14 SPL games last season in his first season and only really played due to injuries. So why are we shelling potentially £5m on someone who couldn't get ahead of a Charlton reject. Like I said earlier, Wilson would be a good signing if we had signed him next season when his contract ran out.
What also comes to mind is why Purslow is handling transfers. He knows nothing about football. He's signing players like Wilson for over the odds whilst selling players cheaply. Benayouns market value was £8m-9m. Fact. We need a professional market valuer because no-one at the club knows the market value of any players. I wouldn't normally go on about this, but the yanks aren't giving us a penny so we need to get the best deals possible.

I agree. Wilson isnt worth the money. Especially compared in value to Benny.

Ryan, why is Yossi's 8-9m? We bought him for less than that, he was playing regularly then, he was 27 then, he was better then. Now he is 30, and so whoever buys him, probably won't be able to sell him again. He was never unmissable, and with Joe Cole coming in, he would play even less. We did well to get our money back. And even besides that, he wanted to go.
The other part of your post, saying that Kelly and Ayala are better. Firstly, neither Kelly nor Ayala play down the left, a position we need cover in, Wilson does.
Ayala and Kelly who are both older than Wilson have hardly even played first team football, so how can you judge?
Of course it is harder to get into the Liverpool team, but where is the evidence that Kelly and Ayala are both better than Wilson? Wilson is only 18 and he has played more first team football than the other two combined, lets at least wait and see if he's good enough.
Not to mention hes played in the CL

I think he'll turn out good.
Also just read we want £6m for N'gog - now that is what I call a valuation... if we get that we are laughing...
We need to return to our tried and trusted methods before we win number 19
