It's not money down the drain if it gets us more wins so as a fanbase we're happier and more positive for next season, and the more wins we get the higher the gates are.

TrueOwl Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 No comment is basically official confirmation these days. With Connor Wickham back in this squad fighting for his professional career we will make top-six and looking at the oppo this is our year. The EFL will more than likely issue us a fine not a points deduction given we are the 3rd to 4th club to do this and we will likely take the EFL to court over this and we will probably win given precedent. By that point we will be in the premier league so who cares, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if there is a deal in place for a transfer at the end of the loan. Then it could be a good building block for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If and it’s a big if Wickham could get back to full fitness he could be a brilliant player for us if we do get him in. Always a worry though when someone has had bad injuries in the past and if they will ever return to full fitness and be the player they once where. Would be great if he could.

I suspect we'll be off-loading a lot of wages in the summer overhaul so that will help. I would be concerned if we were going to offer Connor a lengthy contract without proof of his full recovery, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when the press report it as a done deal, it generally is. Not that I'm a fan of the press, but with so many journalists saying the same thing, must have some element of truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome. It can't even be parodied because it's journalism at its most minimalist. "Any comment about signing Crystal Palace winger Connor Wickham?" "Nope." "That'll do. Cheers." 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
