Who's this Wilson then? ;-)
Seriously, boatloads of people have been at Manure or City, Bolton ,Wolves, Wigan or any other Premier League team in the North West yet we pick the one that falls over a blade of grass and gets injured!
Despite being elated at the result on Sunday, i am utterly dejected that the youngsters who have worked hard and shown they might have what it takes to be 1st team regulars are languishing on the bench when our team is clearly crying out for some hungry players.
Especially the ones who have had 1st team time and now see donkeys getting picked ahead of them. We let Rooney go and many said we would regret it. He is banging them in for fun at Salford and if he had stayed and been played properly with GMS and McGinn, i think we would have more goals now than if we played May AND Cosgrove together all season!
But we all know this is the trouble, DM refuses to play players in their best position, instead seemingly getting lucky with his Tombola selection.
As for Wilson, if he stays injury free (doubtful) then give him a few games IF he looks sharp in training. Otherwise, get Anderson on and Ross back in the team when he's fit, keep Ferguson in and give Mclennan some time and we might just find that bit of bite we are looking for, especially if a clever coach teaches them how to bite like Shinnie but without so many cards!
THEN we might have some players on our team.
Just my thoughts obviously as we will have to find something from somewhere to beat the other Cheek.
Stand Free.
It wouldn't be such a bad situation if it weren't that we are supposedly paying DNA money for this loan ?
Or at least that's what we are led to believe. (BS IMO)
There may be a great potential in Wilson , but McInnes & our management team have not the skills to realize this.
We've seen this with other players
Put him on loan to Killie
Hardly laid on a plate. Good pass fae McGinn , but still needed the movement , touch and early strike that usually only a decent natural finisher can supply. Remains to be seen though , whether that was a one-off from Wilson or whether he'll be able to do that more consistently.
I woudn't have bet too much on Adam Rooney being able to provide that sort of finish for us , nowadays. 2-3 years ago aye , but not now.
I don't think Wilson's suited to playing a lone striker role. Needs a partner , and I think May is probably the best bet for that from our current squad.
Why does that matter ? ...if the DNA funds have been used to pay for Wilson , then that's clearly within the scope of how AFC said the DNA funds were going to be used ...part of the footballing operations , I think was the phrase used.
But if the Wilson funds have come from some other income stream .....so what ?
I knew someone would have the stats! So he has played even less minutes than I guessed - definitely too early to write him off. However, as I said, and as others have said, he's not suited to the lone role up front if we're just punting long balls aimlessly forward. Personally I would persevere with the starting 11 from Saturday (but bring Lowe in for Considine) and see how GMS, McGinn, Wright and Wilson link up together. I think given a few games they might click and form an understanding - if they do, it could be brilliant. My inkling would be though that another injury to Wilson before Christmas will see him head back south in Jan.
James Wilson does not look interested in playing for Aberdeen. At best a disinterested spectator. Actually found myself hoping Cosgrove would replace him on Sunday, then at least we'd have 11 players.
I think Wilson will score tomorrow night
