Only a 'decent' leap? Didn't Giggs say he has the best standing jump he's ever seen.

Nicky Butt did it seems.
Anyway he doesn't score that many headers so far.
looked quicker than I thought he was at points during the game on Sat.
Just me who think he runs funnily? Good player, and it's good to see him getting a chance. Can't wait to see him score for the first team again.
Dont really get the connection been made with him and Mata not starting.
Its pretty obvious why he got game time ahead of Mata yesterday. As for future games they play in totally different positions. Wouldnt mind seeing both of them in our starting 11. Mata's weight of pass could really exploit his pace.
To say he has a group of fanboi's is just weird and totally unjustified. People are naturally excited about him and rightly so. Giggs gave him his debut last season, LVG has followed suit this season.
At 18 He's the most exciting striker to come out of our academy in a long time. Its only a matter of time until he hits the back of the net for the first team. Let people get excited, he worthy of it.

I just wish he was brought on sooner for RVP, he looked wasted at 60 minutes. I think he could have definitely scored if played as the last man for longer, rather than being shifted onto the wing.
All this 'Wilson must start' stuff is too late. If Persie does drop out of the team, Falcao should be brought in.
Not necessarily. All depends on the opponents. Once he scores a few goals and settles his stock will continue to rise. His pace is something RVP and Falcao cant offer.
LVG is the one manager I could easily see leaving the bigger names on the bench for a youngster.
But he hasn't scored a few goals though. And Falcao is now fit. Falcao is also not an immobile front man anyway.
that's why I said once he does.....
Falcao's fitness isn't exactly something Id be putting my house on at the moment either. Obviously Wilson is still behind him in the pecking order but you never know what way things will pan out.
but he has scored a few goals...more than Falcao actually
So has Anderson.
We are referring to this season, obviously. Presenting a goalscoring argument to Falcao based on previous seasons will only have one winner anyway.
And yes, I did notice the wink

I think Wilson has a case for starting the next game for me. His pace, movement and all round ability to bring other players in is excellent. He's started one game for us and scored twice, and in his very short cameos this season has looked impressive. Either way, RVP has to be dropped.

I just think that the reality of the situation is that we need to get a good look at Falcao sooner rather than later.
For me, Wilson should have gotten his chance in a recent game, perhaps against Palace. However, Falcao should play now if he is fit.
Our leading scorer has 4 goals so far. The likes of Costa and Aguero have more than 10 each. It would be a huge boost for us if we can get a striker on that sort of run, and I'd say common sense would suggest that Falcao is most likely to be that man.
With him not playing for the U21's this week, do we reckon he could be starting tomorrow? Or is that too big an assumption to make?
Could be. Didn't he score a brace against them last time when he started?
Sure did. I'd love to see him get a start tbh.
Is he injured? Not even on the bench.
He's 4th and the pecking order so hardly surprising he's not on the bench with Falcao back.
Think he wasn't in training pics yesterday too.
According to some reports....he's ill and not injured
Hopefully that is the case, and he is back in a few days
Getting a bit worried, this guy isnt really fit and often injured I have the impression. Even when he plays for u21, he can barely endure the 90 minutes.
Any news if he's injured or just ill?
Not really true. In fact over the last few years he's had to play almost every game because of the shortage of strikers in that U18s group and never had problems finishing games. He covers a lot of distance every game too because he makes a lot of runs with and without the ball.
He's had a little spate of injuries over the last 12 months but nothing worrying, he's still managed to get plenty of football under his belt.
cheers mate!
Be a shame if he's out, his goalscoring record against Hull is outstanding
We've already played Hull.Be a shame if he's out, his goalscoring record against Hull is outstanding
I hope we can send him on loan in January. He needs games and he's ready to play for a decent side, might even make sense to move him abroad so he can work on certain areas of his game - a loan spell in Spain, Germany or Italy would be something he could benefit from IMO.
If only Ajax wasn't borrowing Millik, i'd take Wilson in a heartbeat.
Are you Ajax fan? Are you happy with Milik? He's a big prospect here in Poland, he obviously won't reach Lewandowski's level but he could become a handy striker for our national team. His international record is actually much better than Lewandowski's.
Nah I don't think we should loan him out unless it's somewhere we can keep a really close eye on him. Basically if a PL club had serious intentions of letting him try and win a first team place I'd go for it, otherwise we should keep him here. Loan spells are such a low-yield gamble these days, especially abroad.
I think there's a chance he will start tonight.
I am yes! He's much better then Sigthorsson and seems to have muscled him out of the selection already. There is talk of buying him at the end of the season. Not sure he'll be an Ajax striker like Ibra or Old Bitey', but he scored a double hattrick in a cup match a few months back which was very amusing.
Damn it how am I working one game behind?! Right I've caught up now it's all about Stoke...
Can’t see it myself, I reckon he will start with RVP and continue to give minutes to Falcao at the expense of Wilson. I think LVG has handled Wilson very well so far, he has immense talent and it’s only a matter of time until he will be a permanent fixture in the team. I reckon he is seen as RVPs replacement, quite an achievement if he manages it.
I'm just happy that he appears to have freed himself from Leverkusen who don't seem to be keen on idea of playing anyone other than Kiessling (see Drnic). He won't reach the same heights as Suarez or Lewandowski obviously but if he can be a good forward playing regularly for a decent team I will be very happy.
Wasn't involved with U-21s last night because he had a "dead leg" so that would be very unlikely.
Heard that. Let's wait and see.
