Didn't expect this already

[Guinness Boy]

I would expect us and United to sign decent strikers in January (for our respective levels). Let's enjoy Wilson while we've got him and trust TB and Hughton to keep the squad balanced and competitive.

Would be poor form for United to recall him though

 

[Sheebo]

He can go back but I think we all understand that this is a technicality of the loan system and the deal has been agreed for a full-season loan

Not at all. Both Wilson and LVG mentioned it in their interviews!

 

[Ernest]

Doesn't look like LVG fancies him as he would have kept him and given him a chance rather than send him out on loan. Bit different banging in the goals in the Championship than trying to play in a team being suffocated by the way they're set up right now by LVG. I doubt any striker would thrive at Old Trafford right now let alone a youngster like Wilson

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

2 goals in 2 starts, yes it's impressive but is that really enough for LVG to make a U-turn on his decision and bring him back? Surely United will be after a more proven striker in the January window?

 

[lawros left foot]

I know nothing, the same as everyone else, butLVG is an arrogant arse, and I can't see him biting the bullet and having Wilson back, as it would mean he is fallible.
I think we will keep Wilson all season, UNLESS utd sack lvg, and then I can see him being on the first train back, so, my advice is to pray for LVG

If another of our strikers got injured, and we'd sent out Akindyini to Gillingham on loan and he'd just scored twice, would we rather recall him or sign a more experienced striker in January ?

Very much agree with this. I am certain that we have targeted a striker for January (Calleri or someone else) and Wilson is a bonus player who gives us a Plan B if that goes wrong. On the evidence of his performances so far I'd say the chances of Wilson staying long term are very slim, but he has been an inspired acquisition whilst we have been short up front and have faced toughest run of fixtures to date.

 

[beorhthelm]

said it before, he wouldnt have been loaned out if there was any prospect of featuring in ManU's season. their situation hasn't changed since November - they are still just as average seriously though, their problems wont be resolved by Wilson, but a half season banging in goals might mean they have a player primed for next year.

 

[Ernest]

I expect LVG fully factored in that Wilson would score goals for us when he went on loan so nothing has changed, if he had thought he had a first team future he would have been playing a lot more this season than he had been doing

 

[warmleyseagull]

Now I'm glad he hit the post against Brum...

Exactly !

 

[KJP]

He won't get ahead of martial or Rooney if both of them are fit

Indeed, it is one thing banging them in in the Championship but the Premier League is somewhat different. James Wilson is hugely promising but largely untried at that level and LVG might look a bit silly to recall him only for him to misfire, so perhaps we may be safe !

 

[Worried Man Blues]

If he damages Middlesborough and QPR then goes back it would still have been a great loan

Agreed, but I don't think he's going anywhere. Utd will spend massive in January: Neymar, Lewandowski, Ronaldo and the likes so I'm confident we've got him to the end of the season. With 20 + games left he must be looking at getting 15 plus goals for us, Marvellous scene's, just might have a few quid on a Wilson double for tomorrow night.

I can't see the mancs signing anyone of that standard in January, they don't sign real top World ckass players anymore, and probably haven't done since maybe Jaap Stam. Their owners would rather pocket 50mill plus a year than buy, top players.
Having said all that, I don't reckon they will recall Wilson, as I think their problems are running too deep to be cured by a twenty year old novice

Why would any of those leave clubs in the Champions league to join Utd (other than cash)?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I said this to a friend when Utd lost to Bournemouth on Saturday. They were crying out for someone like Wilson up front. Let's hope they find some form and get a striker or two early in the transfer window.

Remember the "even more crazy money" starts in the premiership next year, so to acquire one of the special ones(Messi etc) at £500,000 per week is now in sight. For the global franchise that is MUFC to dominate Europe for the next 5 years (worth 100's of millions) I don't think they can afford not to.
