People writing off a 20 year old.
A 20 year old who was NINETEEN when he joined us and showed some glimpses of absolute brilliance.
Agreed, he completely tailed off at the end but there is clearly a talented player there. Really hope he recovers well and gets his career up and running

I thought Lingard was not anything that special when he played for us, so was surprised he broke into the Man Utd team and the England team.
Was more impressed with Wilson at times. If he can sort his fitness/ illness/ stamina issues, he could still go far in the game.

Wilson couldn't hit a cow's arse even with that thing.

He was a good player but didn't have the most rounded and complete game YET
As a 4th choice striker, on loan, he was very decent in that role

That's the one thing he could do.

Ha ha. Typo aside you still must have been at different games to most of us. His goals per game was not a lot worse than our other strikers (excluding Hemed) and that was with his problem. Few strikers have the ability to score goals like the Charlton one.
SSN saying he's done his cruciate ligament - out for a long time.
Isn't that the second time he's done it? Could be game over for him.
Yep - acl injury. Nasty, hate seeing that happen to any player.

Real shame for him. He's still only 20 though. Time enough for him to come back stronger and hardened by the experience.

Sad whenever young players suffer serious injuries at such an important time in their career however there is something massively wrong with the lad in general. Huge amounts of talent but I found him lazy, lacking basic fitness and strength. The whole illness thing was very mysterious but he just didn't 'want it' enough for me.
Good luck to him however in his return to injury as I fear without some luck he will be released by Man Utd and will tumble down the leagues. His style of play is not suited to the lower leagues either so it may be a long climb back

Even before this long term injury it looked like there was a high chance that he'll leave Man Utd for a small upfront fee at end of this season. Mourinho has never been known as one to give youth players from academies a chance and when you factor in that they're being heavily linked with Griezman then... wouldn't be a massive surprise if Wilson goes the same way as Macheda's has, just the way football is at the moment. Even Pardew was saying in his interview with the guardian that youth products have to be "international standard" in order to get anywhere near the first team at Palace.

Needs a good manager to get him back on track.
