Connor Wickham

[MattyRangers]

No thanks. $hit player living off a reputation he had as a kid before rushing a move to the big time and wasting his talent. Will end up doing the rounds in league 1 and 2.

although young, proved that he doesnt quite make the grade at Prem level, so cant see us forking out 4 mil for someone who will need replacing in 6 months time if we are promoted.

There's still time for that to change, just look at the likes of Rickie Lambert.

I think he has matured and will get better and better from now on.

[maidstone_hoop]

I think he's at his level now tbh. If we signed him he'd do a decent job this season but if we did go up think he'd find himself in the same position as he is at Sunderland - surplus to requirements.

Get him on loan - yes
Pay 4mill - no

Not sure you can write someone's career off at 20. Think he's showing he is good enough at this level and will go on to play at a higher level

Think he suffered with that big price tag at such a young age and maybe put too much pressure and expectation on him.

He'd probably struggle with the expectations we'd put on him as well.

Yeah.

Plenty here think we have a divine right to be in the prem.

[Yousef]

Good young striker but definitely not worth £4m

Agree with this. If Austin went for £4m, theres no way Wickham can be worth the same.

Another youngster ruined by a prem club and now benefitting from being first choice, too early for hi, to be playing prem though IMO, needs full season in championship next season see how he does
