Never really understood the fascination with Wickham (other than his bird),

Average player who scores in little spates but is unlikely to get 10 goals a season

I hope he proves me wrong but seriously doubt it. For me, he is marginally better than Fraser Campbell but there is not a lot in it.

The failure to sign a 2nd striker is very odd.

Disagree entirely.

The guy's quality. When fit and playing week in, week out, he'd bang 15 - 20 in I reckon. He went through a spell of form just before his injury where he was scoring for fun.

Can't wait to see him back. Fingers crossed her gets there.

Fair play - hope you are right.

Yes, he's a great 2nd or 3rd striker to have on your books and I thought he hit just about his best form for us before he got injured last time. I think realistically this will be his last attempt to recover from injury with Palace. Future contracts would probably have to be on a games played or fit for play basis.

He had scored two league goals all season!

Can't help thinking that Conner will need to go out on loan to get up to speed until the end of this season.
I just cannot see how he is going to get himself into Premiership shape before May!
There is no doubt he possesses an excellent mental attitude (like Souare) but he is not even doing any sort of training with the squad yet!
Just makes the decision not to have added the additional striker since the summer even more strange!!

Compared to Benteke, that is scoring goals for fun

You accuse him of simulating an injury just because he is too lazy? Really?

When is his contract due to expire?

Six months before that he will all of a sudden be fit as a fiddle and playing for a new contract.

Not according to his former Sunderland boss Martin O'Neil

He looked very very good before that injury didn’t he, that made it an even bigger blow at the time. He’s got the lot this lad, pace , power, finishing , heading and decent on the ball. Hope he recovers!

Don't let the truth get in the way of a player getting better by not playing though mate.

He will recover and then sadly get injured again. As much as he has potential he is costing us a small fortune in wages and we need to move on.

Would not be a surprise if we move for Danny Ings although I would worry he could become a similar problem.

 


Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
