JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 16 minutes ago, villalad21 said: He may make some cameos but it's highly realistic he'll move on in the summer. Player his age need to be playing games every week and he simply won't here with Watkins in the ranks. Football can be cruel. Along with Heaton I feel like we've outgrown Wesley. He can't press like Watkins and he isn't prolific. So by your logic we only need ONE striker, as we can't have players who aren't playing every week? Unless they are under 18's or something?

Some players are prone to injuries some aren't. We have young Louie Barry who i think is ready for the step and who i think has the potential to be better than Watkins. I don't see that potential with either Wesley or Keinan. So i'd rather get rid in the summer if possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Will be very interesting to see how he fares once he's back in full action. I have a completely hope/faith based feeling that he will surprise a lot of people positively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that it has to happen on the regular which we haven't seen evidence of yet. One injury doesn't equate to a trend. I hope he recovers well though because that tackle was pure assault.

Also a minor ligament injury. He might become more injury prone now but he wasn't beforehand. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't purposely choose to NOT have any backup strikers. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's been the case all his career. Chance of him getting injured is astronomical and i wouldn't even worry about it.

It's Your Round Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Wesley won’t be going anywhere (unless Ben Mee has actually finished his career). He was bought for his potential, not just for one season. Assuming he can make a full return to fitness, he’ll be given time to get back up to speed and continue with his development. He was getting better and it looked like he’d turned a corner at Burnley that day, until the albino Bruce Lee tried to break his legs. There will be less pressure on Wesley now, Watkins is the main man and Wesley can be reintroduced slowly. Douglas-Luiz and Trezeguet look so much better now they’ve settled into the country and team, it may well be the same for big Wes. He’ll be a useful back up to Watkins, a different type of player sure, but with his power and strength coming off the bench he gives us options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Highly critical of him last year but genuinely excited to see him again. Whilst I thought he was awful, he's an easy guy to be able to get behind. He makes the bench stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Can't wait to see him back. I know he's probably still a couple of months away but the football god's should speed up the process so he's back for Burnley on the 27th. I happily take a 6 game ban to watch him smash Mee to pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before his injury at Burnley which even people in Turks and Caicos could see was the result of an aggravated assault Wesley had been injured for 19 days in his entire career. What exactly happens to your statement if Ben Mee does that to Watkins. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit irrelevant as those types of tackles are so incredibly rare. I'd prefer to focus on normal injuries. And that's all about genetics Louie Barry is the one with the most potential by far. I'd be more than happy with upgrading him to the first team. He has a much higher ceiling than both Keinan and Wes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 3 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: To be fair he looked even skinnier earlier into his rehab. I assume it's just the lack of resistance training and weights etc. I'd actually prefer if he could bulk up a bit more, but you could be onto something. A little more speed could make all the difference. In addition to muscle decay as a result of the injury, presumably they want him under fighting weight for the sake of his joint and muscle health atm. Then build up his size once his muscle health is back up to snuff. Will be interesting to see if he has been improving in other aspects of his game - positional sense etc - during his enforced absence? Fwiw, I hope Wes gets to play again Mee again and buries him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets tackled, fouled, goes up for headers every match he plays. He isn’t the Terminator. He’ll get injured at some point in his career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
