At reasonable wages he would be excellent. I know he started off poorly but he did look the part at the backend of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be nervous of Wickham, had a couple of good games, but seemed to struggle with the quick turnaround of games, which in this league is a problem. His wages also astronomical, even a 50% contribution would put him comfortably above our current highest earners. Palace wanted to recall him last season as cover, not sure they'd want to loan him out in return for a fraction of his wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I love Connor, but he was blowing out his arse after a few games. Didn’t look like scoring in open-play either. For what he would cost, risky business. Just do the right thing and go sign Chrissy Martin please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that impressed with him looked very cumbersome to say he is a Premier player, must be better and cheaper available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hopefully Monk et al will now know whether the Wickham we saw last season can be improved upon with training, regular games, working with Beattie etc If he can’t then we need to forget him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I'd be amazed if we don't sign a striker with presence, Monks succes has always been based upon that focal point. When I say succes, I'm talking relative of course. Edited August 21, 2020 by deano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we sign a player that is still injured, you never know what sort of player he will be when he does return from such a bad injury.

Encouraging that he was good for Charlton before his injury at only 19. Hope we can get him on a perm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he’d fit into a 3-5-2 which suggests Monk may be looking at other tactics for the new season. Tactics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a risk without a doubt, but I have no idea with this sort of injury, does it mean you are more likely to get it again? Or once you are recovered it there in no reason to expect to get a recurrence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know if he will have the same qualities he had before the injury. I just think the position we find ourselves in finance wise and being -12 adrift before the season starts we need players that can do a job from the very first game and hopefully get a whole season out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a slightly surprised as I was resigned that we would only be signing players out of contract or on loan. So its nice to know that there is money in the kitty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
