By the time Isak is ready to take on a full game, it'd probably be after Wilson recovers. I'd be surprised if Isak starts at Wolves. Agreed, which is why I feel the Isak move wasn’t a direct result of the Wilson injury as some have suggested.

Completey agree with this, they wanted him earlier than this week, just Real has finally agreed to lower the price as no one has paid the release clause and they want to cash in with time to reinvest.

Conjo Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 3 weeks can quickly develop into 3 months if his recovery doesn't go as planned and he has set backs. We saw that last season with his calf injury. Thank god we're getting Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 3 weeks from him "feeling it" and coming off as a precaution is in insane. Forget Glass, he's made of polystyrene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw that last season with his calf injury. Thank god we're getting Isak. When he got injured last season he’d played every game pretty much as we had no other striking option. I hope the improved fitness and full pre-season means it’s only a small hamstring injury. I think they’ll manage him better to avoid longer term problems and if Isak comes in that’ll work in his favour anyway. He’ll have to accept that his body just isn’t up to playing every game but he still has a massive role to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 We had personal terms agreed with Isak two weeks ago - Wilson injury not related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same bedwetters that claimed we were running out of time with 4 weeks to go, now claiming this transfer was done in the space of 3 days. Incredible. Disclaimer: I can't confirm they're the same people. I don't like it when others do that so I shouldn't do it myself.

teohgk Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Wilson is a very very good player, but he’s too injury prone and can’t be trusted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 This injury came at just the right time, which sounds harsh, but Wilson needs to come to terms with not being the only A grade striker at the club. He can't be pissed off that he might not be an automatic starter in the future now. Far as I'm concerned he's still a massive asset, we just don't have to cross our fingers hoping he'll stay fit from game to game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 If that's the case and it's only 3-4 weeks, I think we're definitely still in for Pedro and a CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Given Wilson played on Sunday evening, and apparently Ashworth was in Spain on Monday, they can shove that Wilson theory up there rear end tbh. Was clearly being worked on prior to the Man City game, and from a purely logistical point of view, it'd make no sense to completely pivot our transfer plans for one player being out for a few week, even if that player is a bit of a crock.

We were always looking for that player. Wilson’s niggles just meant we couldn’t be as picky unless we want a 20 year old and Chris Wood potentially as our only options for 4 months.

Lush Vlad Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I've said it a few times now. But even since he first signed with us, it seems like he has lost a yard and perhaps also plays within himself a bit. Probably by design to a certain degree, but there must also be something subconsciously affecting him. Kind of understandable after all of those injuries and him being our only decent striker. I was shocked by how quick and explosive he looked over short distances. But that seems to have been missing since he returned at the end of last season. Still really sharp and a great finisher. But he just never stays fit and hamstring injuries are hardly going to help on that score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He chucked Wood straight in. We didn't really have any other options, mind. I think Gayle was fit at the time, though? I don't think it will be quite as slow as Bruno. I'd like to think he'll get more minutes and get into the team earlier. Especially if we need goals in games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 His arms look twice the size of when he first emerged in the PL at Bournemouth tbf. I thought he was a proper pace merchant in behind when he signed but he's more of a complete striker now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
