Would be an absolute brilliant first signing this would For so long we have needed a solid number one,hopefully this will be followed by a left back a centre back and a striker aswell,couple Of loans thrown in and we should be in a much better place

I hope that he’s as good as everyone is saying. I can imagine the comments on here if we signed a Centre Half who played in a team that conceded 87 league goals in a season. 2 out of the 3 Prem keepers with the worst record for goals conceded were England internationals Foster and Hart. James not far behind. James should never have been an international keeper, Hart didn’t let England down too many times. Foster I always liked. I’m just saying that I could imagine what the message board would say if we signed a defender who had been part of a defense conceding that amount- and I’m not actually convinced that all the Stoke fans waxing lyrical will have seen him other than when he plays against Stoke. I’m not criticising him - I’ve not seen enough of him to have an opinion, other than it is better to have our own keeper rather than a loan keeper. Rotherham fans obviously rated him.

Tbh I’m sick of hearing the gibberish some of our fans spout about our defenders. They’ve all made errors but have also all been more than often fine. Cut out some of the brain farts and you’d have a defence that conceded an acceptable not exceptional number of goals. Mostly they all just want the sort of defenders that modern managers and coaches don’t. More than happy with Wilmot as the HC seems to be also. Wilmot can barely kick a ball 🤣 No Danny Batth could barely kick a ball yet it’s still the kind of defender a lot of our fans crave.

You do realise you’re just a football fan and the people picking the team and recruiting the players couldn’t give a flying fuck what you want?

Very true Huth was part of a relegated side, I remember a few bringing that up when we signed him although scoring was that team's problem. I think was red card/Kanu man the main culprit to be fair though . You can't really judge players in that context Dino Zoff would have conceded a rake of goals in that Rotherham team...he is pretty old though

You are going to struggle getting promoted with players like Wilmot in the side.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hyqznl8:00 Steve Evans confirms that "Stoke are one of a few clubs that have matched the release clause in his contract" and he believes they're in talks with his agents But he doesn't seem to know the latest.

Nice to see us getting signings in a bit earlier this time. Previously we've had pre-season with Lowe, Sparrow and some other U21s. It's rendered them pointless as players were still coming through the door way into August.
It's something that's needed changing for a while.

I don’t like it when new signings are roundly applauded and we think we’ve got a great player.
I always get Chris Greenacre flash backs.

Wilmot is the best defender by a country mile . Has had to partner an ageing Jagielka and an inexperienced McNally . I seem to recall he was player of the season last year . Top defender Absolutely

He was never on my great signing list but do believe a few got carried away Someone backed and backed him after a dozen or so games without a goal, forget who it was He was played out of position, it was too sunny, Pluto wasn't aligned with Neptune, the concourses are too small, kids are too fat these days etc They all contributed to him being completely useless

We’ve ended up with Viktor with a little rub of Pete’s Diktor.
There’s a lot more in the chamber ready to be plastered across the faces of the footballing universe.

Applaud the early signing but not knowing much is he any good, sure I’ve read he let in 89 goals last season??
Plenty of interest seems to say he’s the real deal??

I love everything about this deal Great goalkeeper A great goalkeeper that is actually ours A great age which means he either will stick around with us for years or we can get a huge fee for him A may transfer, wow! Didn’t realise he was only 25….thought he was 30. Even better……
