Decorva- Reid has hardly shone in the championship though apart from his one season at Britstol City, go check his stats, better yet maybe you can watch a few games of him to see his isn’t on par with Wilson as far as talent goes. Mousset same thing as had one good season in Ligue 2: pretty much his whole career, still managed to have a PL career for a few seasons which is exactly what I’m arguing for Wilson btw.
Mcgoldrick 34 years of age, another player if you’ve watched doesn’t have half the talent of Wilson, really is a lower league player, wouldn’t for example have been at an academy as prodigious at Liverpool’s at 18-19.1 in 14 for Ireland, just overall a journeyman sort of player.
Also funny how you say 7 goals in the league isn’t noteworthy achievement just to down one of our former players? How many players do we currently have with more than 7 goals in the league? How many did Minamino get last season? Origi is 26 and has never scored more than 8 goals in a top league? When proving that Wilson has a future in the PL, of course the fact he scored 7 goals in his first PL season and actually had PLinterest, (I think Burnley willing to pay as much as 15m for him) is a ‘noteworthy achievement’ alongside all the other decent to great seasons he has put in the Championship at 24.
I don't care how many current players we have with more than 7 goals in the league Coolie
It isn't a noteworthy number (and we're barely halfway through a season....). Same as I wouldn't look at the aforementioned players and say 'Look at David McGoldrick, he got 8 league goals, thats impressive'. A goal every 4 and a half games for an attacking player isn't something that's going to make me sit up and take notice, and it clearly wasn't for Wilson either because....well, here we are.
If those 7 goals had been partnered with excellent performances, like the likes of Mount, Gallagher etc, then its noteworthy. But again, they weren't. They were partnered with a really poor all round game, to the point that he was relegated to the bench for a team fighting for their lives. He's essentially had four full senior seasons, three of them really good in the Championship and one of them pretty poor in the Premier League. Thats tells me that, certainly up to this point (and he's nearly 25), he's been a Championship level player and it remains to be seen if he has the ability to go any higher.
