Connor Wickham

[MrJamez]

Saw it earlier on the Sunderland forum.

No idea how reliable it is but thought I'd post it as a Sunderland fan tweeted me were were after him as well.

Bloody hope not. His record is generally poor in the Championship.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Seems more of a Jackett (given money) signing tbh.

 

[Macman]

Hope we are aiming higher than this...

 

[Deleted member 4456]

He would be a complete waste of money. He's done nothing to justify the hype.

 

[Deleted member 4309]

On that forum they are convinced Bruce will be our manager aswel. Strange

 

[k-dog]

Yes. Better than anything we have available now, unless of course the club are willing to invest more.

 

[R1ch]

Considering they only have 2 strikers on the books i doubt Palace are in a rush to sell one

2+2=22 if you ask me.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Looked a real handful in the semi-final for Palace against Watford. Still only 23 with his best years ahead of him. Think he'd be a useful foil for Dicko.

Guess it depends on who our other targets are.

 

[wolfinaguernsey]

Please God no all i ever do is slag him off at work

 

[Dan G WWFC]

I'd take him

 

[R1ch]

I'd take him

Rather Ulloa but still a decent signing

This!

Why is it always the same names? Bullcack (probably).

Amazing how we've gone from being linked with John Akinde to Connor Wickham yet he's still not deemed good enough by some... quite remarkable.

From a purely statistical perspective, ignoring the fact he'd be the perfect foil for Dicko and the target-man we need...

23 years of age (Yes, still only 23). 100 Premier League appearances, 16 goals. 88 Championship appearances, 22 goals. 1 in 4.

Likely a goals return now at this level would be closer to his Sheffield Wednesday spell - 8 goals in 11 starts over 3 years ago, when he was still only 20.

Absolute yes from me, although I doubt the move unless Crystal Palace have two strikers lined up (they only play one up top in a 4-2-3-1), if Sakho and Berahino end up there it could be very possible to help finance those moves.

 

[Skrilla]

Just so people know, this rumour emanated from the same twitter parody account which linked us with Sakho the other day.

 

[we8wba]

Lol people say we shouldn't sign him

...

 

[Perton Wolf]

Wickham is half decent but since he's young and English, would probably command an overinflated transfer fee. I imagine his wages aren't too shabby either, therefore a loan deal may make more sense than something permanent at this stage.

I would take him in a heartbeat. Strong, great link up play and would shine in the championship with his experience. I think he would score plenty too. Though wish we could have gotten James Wilson, really think he is gonna score for fun this season.

 

[Deleted member 4008]

Wait until Monday as if it is Jackett thst remains as manager then it is a possibility. If he goes then surely a new manager will want to buy his own players with help from mendes or whoever

He's more than good enough !!!!

[Tipton Wolves]

He would be good enough for us.

 

[Matt]

Massive yes from me

 

[Daveywolf]

Would be a good signing

 

[The Professional]

How anyone wouldn't want him here if baffling me somewhat. He would terrorise the Championship defences, and score a bucket load of goals. If Vokes can score 20 goals for Burnley, Wickham can get more than that for us (except under Jackett.)

Completely agree. He is a better, more talented version of Sam Vokes (who I've always rated).

At this level, in a decent team, he would be excellent.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

I'd take him but the cost of English players is ridiculous, I just know we would pay way over the odds and that kind of thing annoys me

 

[paddy]

We will only sign mendes players.

My thoughts exactly, we should be looking abroad.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Could be a real handful in the Championship I'd imagine.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

We will only sign mendes players.

Why ?

Valencia don't?

 

[Supadavewolf]

We will be signing Mendes-linked players . . . assuming Mendes will be heavily involved in the club, which is far from certain. Maybe we'll find out more about this Monday.

Dont see why that is the case at all. Lopetegui has said he had done a huge amount of work towards the Wolves job before settling on Spain sounds to me he was going to be heavily involved in signings rather than working with what he is given.

I think a lot of the Mendes links to players coming to Wolves are just a bit of lazy journalism

 

[Metal Wolf89]

Hope not, awful championship player.

I thought the Mendes link was maybe down to Lopetegui. I think if we appoint Steve Bruce it is a clear statement that Mendes is not involved that much.
