Trade him for Jordan Rhodes, nowt against Whickham but for me he plays like a centre forward 20/30 years ago which is fine for the physical championship and ****e for the premier league..

Spot on, the only way he could get into a premiership side is if his skill matched his physical presence.
Most young players are already showing how good they are skill wise at his age.
The premiership defenders handled him like a schoolboy and he had no nous to outfox them.
 
He's only 20.. he's a quality championship player now and bare in mind he's lost about 2 years of his development through poor management.

I hope we keep him, he will turn into a good player

No problem with that TVI, as long as we aren't putting our future in the PL on his shoulders.
 
I'd keep him ahead of Altidore. I think he does everything Altidore does but slightly better and out of the two of them Wickham's the only one with potential to improve significantly.
 
Aint he free to move on next year ? Sure he only has one more season after this. We have to sell or give him a new deal…what would you do on what you have seen?

Signed a 4 year deal in June 2011. He will be a free agent in 17 months time but will be able to speak to clubs this time next year. I think he will return for pre season and Gus will take a better look at him. He will either be sold this summer after that or will be offered a new deal and take his part in the Gus revolution.

Spot on Joe. And it hardly helps our system when he's out on loan playing in an outdated 442 formation playing direct uninspiring football. He's been loaned to sell surely as the players we want to keep will surly be loaned out to the continent where they can get first team football while playing the ball on the deck.
