Chris Wilder says it’s up to Adam Chapman whether the teenage midfielder wants to remain an Oxford United player for next season, or go back to playing in front of just a few people.
The on-loan Sheffield United player is enjoying his time with the U’s, having not really got close to a first-team place at Bramall Lane.
“I’ve said to Adam, what do you want to do?” Wilder stated. “Does he want to go back to Sheffield United and play in front of 150 people or stay here and play in front of 6,000?
“I know what my answer would be. I’m pretty sure he wants to come here.
“When he goes out there it gives him a massive buzz.”
However, Wilder insisted that the James Constable agreement, which involves a fee, doesn’t mean that United will loosen the purse strings.
“It isn’t open house where we’re going to go crazy and we’re going to get the cheque book out on every occasion,” he said.
