Palace are my local team. I shall report back on what the Palace fans think of him in due course. I still think he could have developed into something good, but there it is...
Showed bits of what he,s capable of, that,s the main point for me just bIt's. Think we,ve got a very reasonable deal given that he was going Nowhere with us being well down the pecking order,another 1 out and a new striker in please now that we are flush
He has a lot of the attributes that could have made him a good player but just doesn't have the attitude to go with it, we've done well to sell him at such a big fee, if we sign any striker that's not totally **** by the end of the month he won't be missed at all
think I read somewhere that Dick didn't really want to get rid of him, just that we were overloaded with strikers. Reading between the lines I reckon he would rather have gotten rid of Fletcher or Graham and so would I. Thought there was a good striker in there somewhere???
It's a results driven business at the end of the day and sadly they weren't their for Connor Wickham.. Showed glimpses year b4 last but if the price is right!! Young, English I bet that's what half on here are thinking right? I'm thinking another overpriced flop who had his chance and must move on. Thanks CW
Worse than Jozy Altidore. On a level with Rade Prica. If this lad wasn't English he'd be worth 2m tops.
According to young Connor, via The Sunderland Echo . . . . “I think I needed the fresh start. I had four years up north and it’s been a bit stop-start,” said Wickham. “Now I’ve come back home and I can settle down and see my family a bit more and hopefully let my football do the talking.” I hope that his family are all doormen, with instructions to keep him out, so that they can prevent him from completely ****ing up his career, then
We should turn this thread into 'Cheerio Corner' where we get together and remember the out going player.
