England Striker from U16 - U21.
Amongst Utd's highest rated strikers.
Has scored goals in the Premier League.
Good enough to be in a top Champions League squad.

Hull comment :

Long time Tigers target James Wilson has joined Brighton on loan for the season. Suprising, but goals have been something they've not got in abundance. I was expecting them to fall away but I think this will keep them up there with us.

Yeah, but aside from all that he must be awful because of...reasons. Obviously.

Personally I'm chuffed with his signing, I don't see how a team that isn't scoring up front (at least not much) can be weakened by trying another option.

I didn't say he was awful I just feel that all of the excitement is a tad unwarranted and based on who he plays for rather than what he can do for us.

To be honest I'm disappointed we haven't signed Greg Bobkin from Stevenage.

Not just until January either.

Perhaps the likes of Derby, Boro and Hull will now be taking our bid for promotion a little more seriously. I bet they are spitting feathers at the news of this signing . A big well done to all at the club for bringing this off - it can't have been easy with all the competition that we seemingly faced.

since when did little old Brighton beat 19 other clubs (some from premier) to a Man U hotshot!!.

also shows the benefit of world class facilities. the England U21's have used both the Amex and Lancing for training, plus we have excellent relationship with Southgate, and 3 U21 team mates of Wilson....... maybe someone else knows....but I wondered if Wilson has already been to the Amex or Lancing with the U21's?? and therefore he knew what a class setup we've got, which in turn may well of giving us a leg up over the 20 clubs vying for him.

less than a decade ago we'd be rejoicing if we beat Carlisle or Stockport to some journeyman freebie.

Thinking ahead, will he be available for any potential play off matches?

He's likely one of the very best options that were available to us (number one target for Hughton) in order to score goals and get us promoted.

Obviously we won't know what he can do until he plays a few games, but I don't think we could have done much better and we're very lucky to have poached him in my opinion.
