I hope wherever he goes he can get another 3 or 4 seasons out of his career at a decent level.For me there is nothing better than seeing a local lad playing in the first team, you just know it means that little bit more to them.Bet who ever he joins he will score on his debut for them...it's just going to happen.

Football is a business these days, I can't understand why we have to have all this love in with shit players,Wilko and Mama spring to mind,just because they played a part in Dulis's promotion year,those days are gone,Get over it. Mama was one of the most important players in our rise through to Prem security. And TP probably the greatest manager in the club's history. Wilko is our longest serving pro who has stood by the club when it would have been much more lucrative to keep moving clubs for the signing on fees alone. Anyone else you want to slag off. How about Sir Stan and Banksie??

Sorry my post seems to have burst the bubble of this massive wankfest over him. Wilko isn't good enough. He should go with our blessing but he won't and shouldn't put the shirt on in a game this year. He is not good enough. Bye and thanks for the memories

If he gets some minutes between now and the end of the season I will be willing the lad like fuck to go and grab a goal, if he did manage it, and it turned out to be a winner late on, or even a consolation when we are 4 down....I would truly lose my shit haha!
Unfortunately I can see a Tony Hibbert style situation where it's going to take a gimme in his testimonial to finally grab his goal.....If it does happen, I don't care what circumstances, I'm on the pitch!

There are loads of different reasons to make you 'love' a player. Here's one.
I can think of some players who'd still be in intensive care.

It's a very simple concept mate,a little thing known as respect.most fans with any kind of class tend to possess it!!!

Although they may not have been the most gifted players in the side, to say they weren't good players is downright lunacy mate. They both gave 110% for this club, and Mama was integral to the success of Fuller, they complimented each other perfectly.

Ok, Adolf No. You clearly don't get that it's the right thing to do to give a player who's given great service to our club a good send off. Now bore off. i think what you (and many of us) obviously don't get Dave is that there seem to be an increasing number of "Supporters" (who i'm guessing only have knowledge of Stoke from the last few years or so) that possess no understanding of how football works outside of the Prem and no respect for anyone who dug in, remained loyal to the club and got us to the place we are now. in short, they're exactly the classless types of pricks that we could well do without!! given a simple choice between these kind of fans being connected with SCFC or Wilko being connected with SCFC and it's an absolute 100% no brainer! he's right in one sense, that we all have our opinions on matters and they may differ but (and i know technically you can't) if i was an admin or mod and saw any Stoke "Supporter" show this kind of disrespect for a player that always gave 110% in the red and white and was one of the rocks that enabled us to build an established Prem side on, i'd be instantly banning the dickheads spouting that kind of utter horseshit! absolutely NO place whatsoever on a Stoke SUPPORTERS messageboard for people like that!

Now I've never said we shouldn't give him a send off. We shouldn't do it when he is on the pitch during a game, too much of a liability. For me he deserves to be the first one out around the clap at the end of the season and we can appreciate him them, not during a game when we have targets to meet as I fear he would cost us in a game

He should go with our blessing but he won't and shouldn't put the shirt on in a game this year. He is not good enough. Bye and thanks for the memories I don't think anyone is suggesting Wilko is good enough to feature in Stoke's first team anymore but I think you are doing your fellow Stoke fans a big disservice by describing a thread praising someone like Wilko (on a Stoke City message board) as a 'wankfest'. Despite his limitations, you always felt Wilko was giving his all for the shirt, something that you couldn't believe of some supposedly superior players who cost the club millions more in transfer fee and wages. My own lasting memory will be of Andy taming Ronaldo for much of the home game against Man United. So much so, that Ronaldo kicked out at him in frustration and should have been sent off himself. Instead, he drew Wilko into making a rash challenge minutes later which brought him a red card, costing us the game
