Wickham is no more a A?5m striker than my Dad.
Facts are that Sunderland paid A?8m for him and in Premiership terms he has been a complete and utter flop. He has proved that his level is the Championship which is good news for Championship clubs and bad news for Sunderland and Premiership clubs.
Because no Championship team is going to pay anything like A?5m for Wickham, simple as that.
I would say at an absolute push A?2m. The market dictates the fee, not what Sunderland paid for him.
End of.
