Mahoneys Tache Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Owen was played too much as a young lad before he’d fully developed and was left with shonky hamstrings. Loads of these players who reply on explosive pace end up like it if they aren’t managed properly when they are in their late teens. The really great strikers adapt to naturally slowing down as they get older. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Gutting for the lad, really. His body is clearly not up to this level of intensity. Makes it all the more remarkable how instantly sharp he is when he does feature. It's a huge relief we've signed another forward, like, because Wilson couldn't be less reliable. And for all he's a very talented striker, he's still a typical signing of that era: there was no real planning or foresight, it was just appealing financially. Cross our fingers for us and for him that this is the only substantial lay-off this season but I think we can all accept that it won't be. Do feel for the guy, like; he never leaves anything out there on the pitch and he clearly busts a gut trying to represent the club, and he's performed so well on the whole. Just an almighty pisser that he's obviously just got very fundamental issues with his natural fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His injury record on TransferMarkt isn’t great. 163 days out with hamstring injuries at us and Bournemouth. 20 games missed. Nothing compared to 2 cruciate ruptures (55 games missed) but add this to thigh and calf injuries and you’ve got someone who is massively susceptible to muscular injuries. Since 2018 he’s missed 307 days and 39 games worth of football with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I do think the medical team / club know more about Wilson's body. Whether he has a mental block or they expect hamstring issues to continue. If we have enough depth so that he only plays 30-60 minutes per game but is available more often, that would be great. They said the same thing about Hargreaves, Bale and Sturridge. They thought they had injuries when the medical team couldn't find anything. At a certain point, a player just feels it. Tbf to Wilson he's had 2 ACL's, another serious knee injury, 2 big hamstring injuries and a big calf injury. He's done well to still be this good after all of that.

Thought he'd missed a load of games in the last 3 years, but he's contributed [maybe as sub, but still not injured per se] in just about every league game before last year. Complete contrast to Owen, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 As good and likeable as he is, he just can't be relied upon to be your main striker. He will have to realise that himself too as his massive amount of injuries just don't let him play anywhere near enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Said to friends all summer that this bloke can't be relied on sadly and a striker should have been a priority. Luckily Isak can fill in this role for us. Its a bit like having Bellamy back but this time Wilson is the main man, not a secondary striker. He will be good to have as a bench player and a very reliable understudy, however, I think we now need to consider that he is a squad player with greatt ability, rather than a first team regular who leads the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
