Connor Wickham

[Adam .]

So this lads name was flagging up a lot in the match-day thread.

Apparently he was sat with some other North End players in the Invincibles.

Sure I also sure that he has been rumoured to have been training with us this past week?

Anyone any other info? Signing on shortly?

Possibly an ITK'er may be able to shed some light on this one.

Think people would be fuming with this one, but if Ched's feet are ruined, then I dont think he would be a bad option.

Mobile target man, short on goals but wouldnt be terrible as a cheap option

The entire team is made up of average cheap options. I’d rather play Potts than add yet another one, one who can’t play more than 20 games a season at that

FFS, please no

This is not the kind of signing we need to be making.

Would any forward thinking ambitious championship side be keen on signing him? Would they fuck.

Are we ever going to learn?

If Frankie is dumb enough to accept this signing, he needs to go!

Potts should never play up front again after today.

Wickham has always had talent, just injury issues. I wouldn't hate a pay as you play type deal for him, if he's showing enough in training.

On second thoughts, it would make sense to sign another crock on our books!

Lets make it a hat-trick!!

Im really hesitant to just write off strikers, dont think there were many in favour of Ched from a footballing perspective and he played really well in the second half of last season.

Got to agree. Why we are playing him upfront instead of JRG is just ridiculous. Would be pissed off if I was JRG.

Problem is squad limit. Waste of a position on someone just on a pay as you play deal, especially since he’ll hardly play. He’s played 20 games in a single season once since 2015

Being Head Coach Frankie has no say on who gets signed, it is just down to TH and PR as I cannot see Wickham’s name being put forward by Beat

There's always an outside chance he could do ok for us.

But career stats from Wiki say it's very unlikely. 43 goals from 220 league appearances.

 

[Hoz ']

In that case, Frankie and Beat need to gang up on PR and Trev saying he isn't recommended by him and Frankie doesnt want him!

What is the point of employing the 2 main people if they have no say in the matter.

I know nothing about this player at all so can someone fill me in what exactly is the problem with him?

 

[norky84]

Only 28, but injury issues over years. If fit, he's better than most of our strikers. I'm not massively against this if he signs.

 

[simon81]

Most his games have been the premier league. 28 years old, could be a good shout

He’s a crock with a poor scoring record

Sounds a good fit 🙂
