[Albion] James Wilson [signs on loan until the end of the season]

[Thunder Bolt]

I remain to be convinced about how good he is, I honestly don't understand where the excitement on this forum is coming from (other than is a Man United player and therefore MUST be good).

Chill.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I don't really follow Manchester United, is he any good? Similar to Patrick Bamford? Better?

Lightning quick, good finisher. Similar to Michael Owen in his youth (not saying he is as good as he was at all, just that their attributes are similar). Very happy with this move.

 

[Ernest]

I think this is brilliant and expect him to be an exciting player to watch in our stripes.

Any guesses at his current transfer fee value?

£5m + ??

£100trillion or MORE and Bloom STUMPED up unlike that POTLESS Pillock who BOUGHT Jonny DIXON

 

[Hugo Rune]

I'd rather have Wilson than the likes of Bent and Ince

Me too! My point was that we have signed the best available player. Reading this sort of stuff "....Wilson scored twice on his senior debut for United against Hull in May 2014..." makes for a very happy Rune!

 

[miffy6]

Anyone know if he's fit for Saturday?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Seemingly we beat 20 other clubs for his signature. I wonder if Lingard had a word with him about how we treat our loanees.

He was on the bench for United last night so I assume so!

Probably......guess he knows Solly reasonably well too......

 

[Dirty Dave]

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

 

[Zebedee]

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.

 

[Caveman]

Clever signing! This will put bums on seats too!

Still can't believe it, he was on the bench for Man Utd LAST NIGHT? Now playing for us Saturday.

Well done Bloom and co.

Don't need them with the top two spots! Joke... Hope... Etc

 

[The Wizard]

Has a rocket left foot from what I've seen of him, a raw player but of a very high quality. Good signing.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

will bring out the closet ManUre supporters !

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.

Seeing the reaction from the utd fans I think that also speaks volumes.
