Wilson

To be honest a lot on here seem to be down on anyone who isn't a new shiny signing :) There seems to be a vibe amongst some that if we don't have a totally brand new starting 11 every player will be torn to shreds

We've made good signings (and obviously aren't finished yet) but I do think some of the pre promotion players are going to surprise people with how well they do

Thank you. Wilson is our CF He is physically up to it. Mayenda too, i'm not worried but it will be interesting how SAFC hope to score goals if they do anything other than 351

i think Isidor will be more suited to the premierleague with his pace and playing with better players. his finishing is erratic, as in he'll either score a worldie or fluff it from 5 yards with little in the middle. that can improve though

the amount of times you'd see him making runs last year and no one had the vision to try and play him in. i can see that changing with for example Xhaka pinging pinpoint balls over the top like he did to Adingra the other day. and it wasn't offside

Exactly. It's crazy to overhaul the entire team. Wilson is perfectly capable given a service from midfield. fingers crossed.

A lot on here usually tend to be down about anyone and anything. They would twist on 21 and have been struggling to cope with all the positivity of last few months. This means that they are desperately floundering around and trying to invent reasons to be pessimistic. All players from last season are now deemed "not good enough" as a consequence.
You need to be a world beater to play in the PL....like Craig Dawson, Will Hughes, James Garner, Adam Smith, Ethan Pinnock, Willy Boly, Matt Doherty, etc.

Fair post this. It's an odd one like. Just cast aside as not good enough as soon as promotion was confirmed.

Is the forum 'down' on Wilson? He scored scome amazing goals before he signed his contract. But what realy fucked him up was those penalties he missed.

I have every faith in Wilson and Mayenda, they will be the only strikers for us and "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" about another teenager such as the Chelsea lad.

We're going 451 to simply survive aren't we?

A third striker would be Oggy

This season is a free hit remember

All three strikers will get minutes most games, especially if we are behind.
 
Think he may surprise a few in the Prem. Technically good with a lot of confidence, and I don't think he'll be left isolated like he was a lot of the time last season when playing as a lone striker. I think we have midfielders who should be able to get up and support him.

£140m + wages and counting says it’s not.
Not sure what sort of trouble we would be in if we go down. Don’t see those three knocking in 25 goals between them.
Maybe half if we are lucky…

I’d definitely rather play Wilson as a lone striker on the counter than Mayenda. Mayenda is better in a 2. He’s just not as hungry to make runs and get shots away, he lacks the instinct Wilson has. Wilson however is powder puff. Mix them together and we’d have a cracking player.
 
With the highlight reel he’s already got I think his value could skyrocket if he bangs a few in in the prem. would love to see him establish himself this season but if he doesn’t cut it I’m pretty sure we will turn a profit.
 
Wilson will have more protection from hairy arsed centre backs and with the midfield and wingers we have, do well.

Mayenda is young and raw and will be hit and miss. He has the talent to improve dramatically over this season.

Nice getting the Chelsea lad in as well.

Happy days

I'd be more adventurous and play 10 outfielders ..... 4-4-2 😱 🤣

Scored amazing goals...and yet...he's not a typical striker, is he ? Not good in the air or holdup play. I keep fantasising about him on the left, Mayenda on the right and someone like Guiu in the centre. Love to see that...

He's a scorer of great goals, rather than a great goalscorer.
