strong and stable with me, or...
How many loans did Harry Kane have before he really found his straps?

Very odd spell with us. He started very well I thought, then contracted that illness and hasn't even looked close to capable of playing 90 minutes since.
I actually thought he had his best game for some time in the first half last night, albeit without finishing one of his chances. In the second half he looked knackered.
I don't think he's been fit for some time. I suspect the real Wilson is the one we saw when he first arrived and in the first half last night. His running off the ball (a feature of Lingard's game that was excellent - must be coached into them) is a real challenge to defend at times.
I wouldn't be upset to see him here next year but he'd likely have to be content with being a 3rd/ 4th option. At least initially.

On the bright side, it did give some of the idiots sat round me someone to abuse last night though.

I'd very much like to see Wilson stay. He's far more mobile than Hemed and far braver than Baldock. Both of those players appear to have pretty much reached their personal ceilings. Wilson is the future when he regains his energy after whatever debilitating virus is that he's had.
he couldn't hit a cows @rse with a banjo ... bye bye

no thanks
Not that he's ours to buy but I don't think there's any doubt he will go on to be a superb player at a high level. Problem is he's been very average with us (almost certainly due to the ongoing effects of a virus). Based on what we've seen you wouldn't want him but I'd be willing to bet that if he goes on loan or is sold to another championship side next season he will score goals for fun. For that reason I think if we had the option of a season long loan or a relatively cheap purchase I think he's worth a go.
Totally agree

Agreed. But only if we get another striker or 2 on so he isnt the ' only hope' of scoring goals when he comes on.

No he didn't. He said
"I was ill during the Christmas period and i've been in and out of the team (since). I've had to wait for my chance and i've had it (chance) in the last few weeks and managed to score today"

As per usual use the loan/s as scapegoats.
If it were possible to sign him at a reasonable price i'd go for it, he's still very young.

If it was a question of either him or Texiera at Liverpool at the same price Wilson would come 2nd for me.
Very much so.

He was ill .At Christmas. Which kept him out of the side for a few games.
Nearly 6 months ago.
When he goes back to Man U and continues to be inconsistent (because he's er, 20 years old) then I don't think they will be having much of this virus nonsense. Cos its nonsense.

Well the latter is off to Fiorentina so not like that's going to happen.

Wasn't inferring he is still ill at the moment. However it was definitely noticeable how much his fitness levels seemed to wane after the period in which he was ill. Certainly up until the last few weeks he has looked to be really struggling for breath in games.

You just have to ask why Manure never recalled him when they had all those injuries and played an unknown 18yr old instead. He would struggle in L1 at the moment. He was hopeless last night

He has no BOTTLE, he has a HEART the size of a MALTESER. Could have stepped up last night and been a HERO but just STROLLED around as usual
