Where do you get that conclusion from?

he has just turned 18 this year. take a look at rooney at the same age, he'd scored a total of 15 goals or so for everton before united signed him.

wickham is a great talent and he's got every chance of becoming a future star.

Its on the last paragraph. Read it. I have to agree with this guy.

Similarly, I have read today via the official LFC site that Ipswich have refused an £8 million bid for their young striker Connor Wickham. They believe that they are entitled to about £2 million more and I can see why, after all he has scored an intimidating 15 goals in 72 appearances for Ipswich. In the Championship. Now, I appreciate that I may sound overly harsh, he is after all only 18 years old and it’s impressive in the sense that he’s playing regularly in the Championship and has been since he was 16. But £10 million? For an 18 year old that has scored 15 goals in his whole career so far? I’m sorry but British or not; ‘home-grown’ or from the Isle of Sandwich, that fee is positively extortionate. In January, we spent just over double that on a proven Uruguayan international that had scored over 140 goals in his career by the age of 24 – Luis Suarez.

And Rooney is playing in the high flying Premiere League. That's the difference. And i truly agree that he was good back then. No doubt about it.

If the deal is worth up to 9m, then we should snap him up.

yea but he's still only 18 (2 years younger than pacheco whom many supporters still has belief in).

great talent, i'd rather pay £9-10m to get him now than seeing him turn into a star at spurs or some other club

Ok lets get him.

We should get him while we are the favorites

I just don't get why the cost of a player with potential is such an issue all of time.

On second note, he is still young and English. Now 10m and in 5-6 years time, 40mil. Are we in negotiating state with him right now.
