Three reasons Harry Wilson won’t stay with Reds

Limited playing time

Of course, Liverpool are playing for top-tier trophies like the Champions League and the Premier League title. And typically that’s the biggest draw for players. They want to play for titles and more importantly have a chance to win those trophies.

With Liverpool, players have the chance to not only compete but win trophies.

But trophies aside players also want to actually play.

Assume Wilson takes Origi’s spot on the roster. Origi has played 491 minutes so far this season with 20 games played and five starts for Liverpool. Wilson has almost triple the Belgian’s playing time with 1,300 minutes played in 17 starts over 21 games played with Bournemouth.

It’s hard to see Wilson agreeing to play so infrequently for Liverpool now. Again, playing for trophies has a funny way of making playing time become a little less important for players in whatever algorithm they use to decide their next move. But when the drop in playing time is by two-thirds there’s a serious amount of thought that has to go into Wilson’s decision to stay.

He’s got a good thing going at Bournemouth. And by the summer, there are going to be a number of Premier League clubs looking to add him to their roster and make him a member of their starting eleven.

Bournemouth certainly being one of them.

That isn’t the case with Liverpool. Wilson will not come to the club next season and immediately become a regular starting player for Klopp. He’s better off finding a spot on another club. And with the return he is likely to fetch, Liverpool should absolutely allow it.
