What on earth is that based on? :oops::oops: he hasn't played a minute under MON. Wickham was rushed back weeks early from injury for MoN's first few games rather than play Noble.

You're talking piffle

Performances in Pre-Season. Noble by all accounts was one of few bright points with it.

How? Because he scored one goal. He only played 1 or 2 other games and did nothing. MoN has already said Noble will be going out on loan ASAP.
 
Glad to see him score. As for folks calling me a idiot or whatever, does that finish make him worth the price tag? Price was not his fault, but for me the lad should be busting a gut to get in first team. He hardly did a thing till he got that chance, you never hear the folks who go to reserve games splurting on about him.

Like I mentioned in OP, I really hope he comes good, will benefit SAFC hugely in the long run. He has to show a hell of a lot more than he is. I would hazard a guess that O'Neill prefers Noble.

The reaction on here to that goal suggests the lad has turned into Lionel Messi.

We paid the money for the player we hope he will become, not the player he is now. Is that really such a hard concept to grasp? People might complain that we could have used the funds elsewhere but we are a midtable side and haven't exactly suffered because we signed Wickham.

He's also never played a single game for the reserves.

I don't think you do want the lad to come good, as you are making stuff up to suit your argument. Just another bellend who would prefer to say "I told you so" and hide behind the tired "but I hope to be proved wrong" disclaimer.
 
Its strange that people are willing to say he wont make it etc, but people still mention Noble... Is it just purely that he is from round here and Wickham isnt? In the relative terms of world football, they were born and grew up very close to each other, if it makes you feel better :lol:

Wickham is years younger and has more ability than Noble already. Physically he's better, but his touch and technique are both miles ahead IMO.

I just dont get why anyone would rule Wickham out already - he's 19 for fucks sake and has never played lower than championship level from the age of 16? Even if you cant see it yourself, he MUST have something about him, surely?

I genuinely did not know this. So where the feck is he playing then, coz certainly not getting into first team anytime soon?

I think he will get game time this season like, probably ahead of campbell and ji imo

Mon said he would play the last few games last season but he rolled his ankle, he also picked up a knock in pre season this year. He'll go out and get games as soon as a deal is done.
 
That was a nice ball for Ince. He's showed an a degree of talent tonight. If given time I'd back him to come good.
 
It seems like I've hardly seen Wickham playing yet others can write him off straight away

I mustn't be a top quality coach

First team squad rarely make an appearance for the ressies iirc. Mainly used to help develop youth team players.
