Wise Man Says
Striker
Overpaid for the lad but that is hardly his problem. I reckon he will make a player, but he will need some time.
At PL level?

If it's happening on here you can bet your life it's happening in the pubs and clubs all over Wearside. I'd hope the more sensible Sunderland fans are backing him up because that's what he needs, not reading sites like this where he gets slagged off by arseholes.
Think he has only started 4 games, that is not enough to determine ANY player

Absolutely. But it's not an SAFC thing is it?
There isn't a player alive who doesn't get Internet criticism and anyone who can't take it will never make it as a footballer.
Darron Gibson had to close his twitter account within a day of opening because of abuse from fans of his own club, I'm not aware if Wickham receiving even moderate criticism via twitter, which would be the only real way of direct abuse.
I don't see what difference it makes if people in pubs and clubs are saying they don't think he's very good either.
Cheers.
It's not right for any club's fans to slag off their own young, developing, expensive players.

This.
I doubt he attends any pubs or clubs where he's subject to abuse, it'll be too full of arselickers and women fawning all over him.
Out of genuine interest (I'm not fishing or being sarcastic), how did your fans treat Hugo Viana?
Wickham is the worst striker we have ever had now.He should be informed tomorrow that he will never play for us again and he should look for a new club. If we're lucky we'll get about a tenth of what Br*ce payed for him
There was a time when we in mackemdom stood behind our own. We believed in solidairty and comradship. Sadly recent decades have seen scabs like you infilitrate our support
Wickham does not represent the spirit of SAFC, he is oafish and lazy, the trait of the mag.l I support those of talent and humility who believe in eveything our club stands for as a social and economic institution

At the end of the day, almost everyone will ignore his age and just look at the fact he is a premier league striker, so I he doesn't score 1 in 3 or better then "he's shit".
Realistically, he came to Sunderland then go injured and then hasn't had enough proper starts to actually improve on his development, we either need to start playing him more and more or just loan him out

My Ambiguous Seagull said:He'll never get that ratio in the prem. Fair enough he's a young lad, and I'd personally give him another two seasons, but his scoring rate in the Championship was 1 in 5.5.
Ok, he was played on the wing a bit under Keane, but even then...
IMO, he just isn't as hot as prospect was was made out. I mean, Vaz Te has scored about 10 goals since Jan; that's only three less than Wickham got in his entire career for Ipswich.
A lot of strikers don't score 1 in 3 or better, but that seems to be a yardstick for fans to think strikers are shit or not ignoring their other abilities, Luke Bendtner's link up play
