There is definitely a quality player in there. His goals at Albion and Sunderland proved that but he was injured again in that game. For a big powerful lad he seems to be made of glass. I know its not the way we play but if he had someone like Berahinho beside him it could be dynamite

Wickham isn't that injury prone though, he was just unlucky last season. He's missed more games last season (17 of his 25) than he has in his entire career previously (since 10/11). Possibly even more down to the club bringing him back too early. In fact Benteke has missed more, (31) in a much smaller time frame (since 13/14). That is not to say that we don't need another striker, just that faith shouldn't withheld from Wickham due to his injury record. Attachment: wickham_injury_record.jpg (68.72Kb)

If he has an injury free season and he's a 15 goal lad min I reckon. A big if though. I think he could be 20-25 even. But I think its unrealistic to think of any player in terms of being able to go a whole season without injury - The issue really is being out long term (months at a time, rather than weeks).

But the signing of benteke would give connor wickham, the competition he needs to improve and if one is injured, we still have a great option. I sick of AP playing YB up front.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

I'd be relatively happy to see Wickham lead the line as long as we got a quality second striker to partner him. Berahino and Ings spring to mind, a cheeky bid to test the waters with Ighalo at Watford? I think a Benteke or similar would rule out the possibility of starting both.

Another big man will allow Wickham to be rested too, so he isn't trying to play through knocks and end up hurting himself worse.

If Benteke comes as Palace's most expensive player ever on the highest wages ever then Wickham will be warming the bench for sure.
