Kenwyne Jones was 'huge', Connor Wickham is 'huge'. We should want somebody that can score goals

Would Lukaku even represent an upgrade on Wickham? We'd be replacing our own young, in need of experience striker, with another young striker who needs experience. It would be an odd move unless we're absolutely convinced he's ready to play regularly.
You know he wont give a fuck at the end of the loan for fact?
How are we wasting money? What money? loan fee and x wages (you dont always pay all their wages either, loan team might even pay them so we develop him over the season by playing him).
Nail on head
So it's worked to some degree. Yes we need players still, but we needed them from day one so are no worse off and are established.
I have seen nothing from Wickham yet to suggest that he is a prospect, he first touch isn't good, he doesn't have pace, is he good that air?? I have seen nothing to suggest he is, he isn't a goal poacher becuase he doesn't make the runs in the box?
what are Wickhams strengths? serious question?
Goal against Villa as well. Even though they are few and far between we have more relevant examples of Wickham's abilities than Lukaku's.

Indeed marra. Lukaku could well be the next Drogba. I really don't know and I doubt any of our fans do. It just seems like a waste of time signing Wickham, sending him on loan, and replacing him on our bench (assuming we get Fletcher) with another unproven youngster who is looking for first team football for a season.
wha heya goal against, you don't need to do much these days.
I'd like to see Wickham stay and fight for his place. If he is good enough then it doesn't matter who we bring in. But as long as wickham is in the team on merit not becuase we spunkd 8 million quid on him.
I agree with this. Wickham has been a shocking signing so far, if this is yet another wasted season he only has two left on his contract. It really makes you wonder what Bruce was thinking, probably desperate. We're a week away from the season starting now so I'll bet we're desperate as well.

Im normally against loans unless they have a buy option but my arse is starting to twitch so getting someone in before arsenal im happy to fuck off my beliefs on loans.
