Don't think we got ourself a bargain here. Although... he is literally going out on loan so clearly can be bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off the bench is different to starting games and playing 90 minutes. I’d still be happy to see Wickham back here but given how little football he’s played in the last few years it’d be a gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, just wow I hate the type of post that Kagoshimaowl made. Ka58 doesn’t say that he’d rather just have Nuhiu, Rhodes and Winnall; he says that, in his opinion, we don’t need Wickham - that’s two different things. I would hope that Kagoshimaowl’s post is unintentional because I haven’t seen such a post from him previously.

What I mean is I’d rather take a risk on Wickham who would be great for us if he stays fit than sticking with the 3 useless stooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Every single loan signing is a gamble. I’d rather gamble on a proven player like Wickham then spunk a load of cash on a ‘wonder kid’ from Liverpool, city etc and be dictated to if they play or not.

Featured in three matches in a row for Palace between 26th December and 5th January, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 90 minutes, think it's fair to say his fitness is building quite nicely he wouldn't be starting from scratch with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have looked at it if fletcher was fit but we need that type now and Wickham is the perfect fit. I understand that Palace are happy paying the majority of wages as well. We still need another striker but someone who has that movement and with pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still need another striker but someone who has that movement and with pace. Yes, as you say, a risk, but a calculated one. It’s good that we seem to be considering other attributes, rather than just looking at his goals record He has most of the attributes that Fletcher has, if anything, when fully fit, he is probably technically better. We do need another striker, and I’d like to see the same consideration given to that signing as well Again, don’t just look at their goals records (Rhodes and Winnall) but can they operate in the roles required? If it’s a two up front situation, will they mesh with Wickham, but at the same time, offering skills that we don’t really have I believe that has been the problem previously We’ve acquired a roster of strikers, without giving any thought to how they might gel as a team. Now we know that you can’t just add a previously prolific striker, and hope that the player will transform the team. The player has to suit the team dynamic Yes it sounds as if I’m stating the bleeding obvious, but it is an issue we’ve seemingly ignored previously 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 For those not wanting CW, can you list below realistic alternatives. Before you do, consider the fact we are more or less broke, and when competing for players we are up against clubs that have bundles to throw about. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think Wickham has all the attributes to replace Fletcher. The one question is whether or not he can bring goals too. No denying Fletcher has been in the form of his Wednesday career this season so massive boots to fill. However, CW on loan could be a very shrewd move, here’s hoping he can replicate his form the last time he was at the club! if we get him that is.
