Connor Wickham, The big issue with Wickham is injuries.

Connor Wickham,

The big issue with Wickham is injuries. Can he even cut it at this level now, given he has struggled to string an entire season together for the best part of eight years. It's the question mark hovering over the whole deal. He hasn't played in two months and even when he arrived at Cardiff City last month he had to spend time rehabilitating with the physios.

How frustrated were fans when Jonny Williams, a player plagued by injury hell, signed and then got injured almost immediately, before never really featuring for the club thereafter? The supporters' ire was the same for Isaac Vassell, another player with a poor injury record who managed just three games in three years for the Bluebirds. Lee Tomlin came in for similar treatment at times from fans.

Granted, this is different to the latter two, with any deal likely to be only until the end of the season. So perhaps the liability regarding lost wages is more of a moot point in that regard. So, worth the gamble, then?

Well, we have seen mid-season free agents come in and make an impact. Think back to Junior Hoilett and Sabri Lamouchi's current assistant manager Sol Bamba, their acquisitions proved to be a masterstroke by ex-boss Neil Warnock.

Pay as you play for me only.

Agree .

No way would this happen if it was “pay as you play”. Wickham is being signed at risk and ad backup so no chance he and his agent would agree to “pay as you play” !!

However, he is still worth the risk in our position. There is absolutely no doubt he’s good enough but injuries have hampered his career and that is the only worry.

Let’s hope we get ten games out of him and he becomes a hero !!

Why are we in a bad position in the league and are their problems on and off the pitch??

Give him a year contract. The millions we lost , he is worth a punt.

Unfortunately it's the only hope we now have as totally screwed up our transfer window.
