The problem is Wickham's end to the season especially because of the opposition it was against are always going to rise his price tag He has been a complete failure bar the end of last season for Sunderland, they can look at this in 2 ways. He has finally matured and they are going to see a return for their investment and time they put into him or it was just a flash in the pan and they will take as much as they can get for him
Not seen enough of him first hand to judge - might try and 'explratory' fact find on the Ipswich board ... http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/268744-Connor-Wickham?p=6732672#post6732672 ... which I did ... they seem to think a fair bit of him so far ...
