I've got a feeling he'll get into double figures for them this season

:lol:

He's only just managed that in all his time at Sunderland.

The problem for Palace is that he'll try to impress and keep shooting weakly from ridiculous positions ........... his speciality.

Wouldn't say he was lazy. His biggest flaw is the lack of a football brain. Rarely makes the right runs and his decision making is awful. Too hesistant unless he's shooting on sight from 50 yards out. The same goes for his size, should be able to use it to his advantage but hasn't got the brain to figure out how

He's just not a very good footballer and got his big move due to a goal against Arsenal which wasn't exactly Ryan Giggsesque, he just bundled his way through.

Palace will no doubt want to play him as a target man. They'll be sorely disappointed when he doesn't jump.

And ? Palace are a better team than us got people who get the ball into the box which helps! Glen Murray banged a few in last season if they play Wickham through the middle he could well hit 10 goals over the season

Wish it was Fletcher f***ing off and Graham

What I was saying about him on the other thread about Wickham being sold to Crystal Palace. I thought the same thing. Even to my eyes he was a player who hesitates which is something any decent striker would never do. Rarely did I even see him run with the ball.

The best thing about the forum is they think they will get the best out of him if they put him in the middle where he was under utilized and team him up. I am very skeptical about whether he will score even if you put him somewhere where you think he will do better. If he is as poor as we think he is then it won't make much difference I think where you put him or what you tell him to do.
 
There's a player in there somewhere but how long do we wait to see it, I think it's the right thing to do

Graham and Fletcher would have been ahead of him on my list but let's face it the 3 of the fuckers have been useless for us for a long time

Sadly Wickham's rarely there at the same time :lol:

Were none of their fans there to see his striking masterclass at Selhurst when he partnered Ji up top under PDC? That's the Connor they are getting 9 times out of 10....

there might be... but there is a bigger playboy in there.
now if you have the ability of george best, ronaldo the playboy can be accommodated by vast talent... wickham isnt blessed with vast talent.
and thats is the bottom line, advocaat has sanctioned this.. he chose not to fight to keep him ... Why?

Hopefully because he has someone better lined up!

I couldn't help thinking Wickham or Defoe would have tapped in the chances Lens created the other night..... Of course in true smb style Wickham gets better the less he plays, he'd more than likely have been stood on the edge of the box admiring his latest tattoo
 
Wickham will do well at Palace. Flying wingers getting crosses into the box. They know how to attack unlike us. Hopefully Dick can re-invest the money wisely and we can become stronger. I think it's a good deal for all parties.

You will see it next week when he turns out for Palace.
 
Hes not lazy like, just not very good. Should be strong as fuck with the size he is but hes always on the floor and getting pushed all owa.
Good deal for us like

The only run Wickham had upfront resulted in him scoring goals. Poyet then pushed him widen left in an ultra defensive side. Baffling
 
Just had a look.

I think they've mixed Wickham up with a young Wayne Rooney. :lol:

Has underperformed for us, played largely out of position, appears indifferent / lazy, does not know / does not care about utilising his size, potential power.

Selling for a good price would make sense (no idea if it is a good price), and replacing with better makes sense.

I believe he will do well for them, pardew will play to his strengths / kiss his arse etc etc, double figures for the lad, and surprised fans here wondering what could have been.

Physically he has all the attributes needed to be a real threat, except pace, he should be terrifying the opposition.

We have previous when it comes to locking rather than unlocking potential.

One of his few strengths IMHO.
