Is he injured at Barnsley,noticed he hasn't even made the squad for quite a while???
Barnsley fans hate him, they say he is very lazy and his attitude is all wrong
As at yesterday the Hull Daily Mail was indicating the deal had stalled and they were looking at Martin Samuelson from West Ham as an alternative. If I recall correctly Hull owe Barnsley a big chunk from another transfer and that was also muddying the waters.
To be fair it was Stendel who signed him. It could well be he just doesn't gel with the new manager. As we know he can potentially be a difficult character, luckily we had a manager last season who knew how to get him to channel that on the pitch.No chance of getting him permanently you'd have thought, they spent over a million on him and you'd think they'd want at least half of that back even if they were desperate to cut their losses.
I thought he was overrated with us. He was good against crap full-backs but hardly got a look in against better ones. The fact that he'd be up against better full-backs in the Championship made it obvious (to me anyway) that he'd struggle there.

I’ve watched Barnsley play 3 times this season (live but on tv) and I think I’m right in saying they played him in a different position to where we played him. As someone has eluded to - maybe out of position and not getting the best out of him.

He saw himself as a striker before he come to us didn’t he?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Have you heard anything about his possible destination, Tyke? If he is to leave in this window that is.

I can’t think of many Rovers players who have achieved that over the years. There must have been a lot of crap full backs in L1 last season.
I enjoyed watching him too especially when he ripped teams like Rochdale a new one..But we have a player still on our books who can provide as much pleasure to watch in one game than most can do over a whole season..
The lads just 6 months in to a four year deal , the four years are to give him sufficient time to develop here so it's a bit disappointing for me if he leaves .He's struggled because the whole team struggled for the first three months of the season .Stendel then left the club and Struber's come in with a new formation that makes it difficult for Wilks to get on the pitch .It's not really worked out for him as yet but as I say it's early days for me and he isn't the first young player to arrive at Oakwell and struggle initially before finding his feet .Mowatt was loaned out to Oxford the last time we were in the championship but he's captain and a key player today .
