mike93rh Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 some people's reaction to this news shows just how little they appreciate real talent, it beggars belief that somebody threw out a "Connor Sammon/effort" comparison. Jesus. He's a top, top player and was excellent for Brighton last season. I'd have him ahead of Bent every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 He's got potential, but he wasn't outstanding last year in any way. If we sign him, I'll get behind the lad, but I won't cry if we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsputen Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 beggars belief mike93rh that you read it wrong. I was saying it might be a good thing getting wilson but would like to see a permanent addition to maybe nakhi wells but we will more than likely get wilson on loan and connor sammon back nothing against wilson he might turn out to be what we need .

Funny how people are happy to manipulate stats to try and validate their opinion. To score those 5 goals he played the equivalent in minutes of 13 matches - not brilliant but a long way from being as poor as some are suggesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Ram Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 5 goals in 27 games last year for Brighton. How come they don't want him back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Funny how 'he only scored 5 goals', he 'was on the bench for the final end of the season'. I am sure he scored 2 of those goals against us and I remember he was the one who scored the last second equaliser. He reminded me of a raw version of Bamford, you can tell he has got it, he just needs to apply it consistently. Id have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a player I necessarily want to come to Derby but there's too many posters quick to criticise without having a sound basis for that criticism. So using your argument you must reckon Razza's crap since 2 Derby managers hardly played him last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 He was on the bench for them and yes he did scored both games @MackworthRamIsGod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingofbuxton Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Didn't brighton play with 1 striker for the majority of the season - Hemed? A very different style of striker to Wilson. Either way the general consensus is this lad will score goals hence his new 4 year deal at United. I believe he broke all goal scoring records at youth level for them, hardly a bad notch to have on your belt considering the talent they have had available to them over the years. My only concern would be the need to play 2 up front, which would mean a change to the formation and probably losing ince to the left in order to accommodate him. I wouldn't be too convinced about ince on the left of a 4 in midfield but id gladly be proved wrong. I suppose with 2 central players willing to 'sit in' a little more it would work though.

Yes Eddie .. 100% agree. .. I wouldn't want a team built on loan players but youngsters from top clubs who have had the right grounding and more importantly have a sense of expectation and belief. I really loved it when Jordan Ibe was here. Yeah he ran in to traffic and didn't always do the final,pass but he scared the bllx off the opposition and that opened other doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sounds like he had issues with some sort of illness. Would need to ensure this isn't still an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
