He has had 3 appearances because every time he has played he has been nothing short of dire and produced nothing.Quote:

He runs very fast. If they can coach into him a bit of composure once he gets there and a better head for decision making then he will be some player.
To be fair that's all Adama Traore is now, most overhyped player in the Premier LeagueQuote:

he's a really exciting player - is never going to be mr consistent but on his day he can be a match winner against anyone.Quote:

No, that'll be Emi Buendia probably, unless someone buys him this month.Quote:

I didn't ask who would win it.Quote:

There is a difference between being the best players in the Championship and potentially the best players.
Being in contention to be the best player for the 15th placed team isn't that for me.
He won't win it because we aren't very good.Quote:

on the other hand, if he ends up being our player of the season then that would also suggest that we have bigger problems elsewhereQuote:

Averaging his stats for the last 3 years, he gets 1.6 goals and 3.3 assists a year. None of either so far this year. He might occasionally look good but 90% of the time he's completely ineffectiveQuote:

Wilson works hard and is clearly talented, easily our best winger. He'd shine in a side like Swansea
I'm just saying our need in the middle was greater than bringing in another winger/wide midfielder.Quote:

To be fair, he doesn't always start. And in 2019-20 he had 37 appearances (27 starts) with 4 goals and 9 assists. That's not bad.Quote:

I can't see him playing for one of the big sides, but he is good entertainment value.
NML was sacked before the season started. Wilson signed in on deadline day. So, that's absolute nonsense. Ojo was NML's replacement. They tried to shift Whyte and nobody wanted to know.Quote:

Tomlin was our 10, was always going to be and we are/were too reliant on him. We needed a winger. Harris thought we could get away with our midfield like we did last season, he's found out we can't.
I stand by what I say about the central areas needing more attention than the wing.Quote:

He's actually made the squad or started for a lot of the games he's been fit. His best game last season was as a striker in a 3-1 win vs Leipzig.Quote:
