You could well be right , although I do expect us to get an additional forward thinking player and I think it will accelerate the process Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 This is why we should have had a back up/replacement in as early as possible. We just can't count on him being fit and leaving it this late is not ideal in the slightest. We can't go into the season with him as our main striker as he is just never fit.

Don't think it's bed wetting when our only striker (injury prone one at that), gets injured after two and a half games. I have been positive as fuck all through the summer, but to be in this situation by the end of August is crazy really. Thinking we can rely on Wilson will shoot us in the foot.

Isn't it just the normal thing to do to scan a player's hamstring if they said they felt it at half time? It's normal for a player with normal hamstrings, Wilson's case, not so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 If we want another creative player too (winger or midfielder) then we're not going to be able to sign a 'top' forward to replace Wilson. The likes of Osimhen and Isak will cost upwards of £60 million+. It just isn't feasible at this point in time. Even young prospects in forward areas are going to cost us £25-30 million. I'm fine with Pedro as his backup despite his goal record. It's not likes he's a kid who has never played a game. He's had 2.5 years regular football in England. I'm sure he can come into the side and contribute very positively to our system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I know we need more goals and assists, but I’ve said it a few times, I’m not so hung up on numbers specifically from an individual, it’s what they bring to the team in terms of their ability and individualism or how they effect the dynamics of our play that is more or equally as important. Wood gets berated for his lack of goals, but he WAS pivotal to us staying up last season and ASM who also gets stick for his ‘end product’, and I’m critical of him for that, without his game last season, we go down as he was our main attacking outlet.

relámpago blanco Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Wilson is out on average for 21.8 days when he has a hamstring injury so its probably not the end of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play as intensely as we have been doing so far this season then his hamstrings are just gonna go pop every few weeks aren't they. I wouldn't replace him, I'd add another top striker to compete for the shirt. There's always room for two quality strikers at a PL club when we play so many matches.

Ste Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hopefully not serious, I can imagine the staff and Wilson are very panicky over small strains or any kind of negative feeling he gets. Wish him well as I would love for him to get into that WC squad. Immediate feeling is he won’t be available for several weeks if not months but hopefully fine.

Dr Jinx Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Players who have lots of injuries tend to be ultra sensitive to any little niggle or strain that other players might pay no attention to. Hopefully in this case, Wilson is being overly cautious and nothing shows up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this scan is just to assess any potential risks, and help devise a training plan for this week. I'm certain we won't take any risks so he might miss Wolves. But if he's back for the Liverpool game, that would be brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
