There have been a lot of young, pacey (mostly black) strikers coming through the lower leagues in recent years. We should find the next one

It may be assombalonga?

Why did you feel the need to mention skin colour?

Bournemouth are up to some strange things.  Selling Elphick and Ritchie seems a bit soon. If we could get Wilson it would be the best signing againt Gayle and McCormack. Interesting to see what comes this summer.

Isn't there a Wilson at Man United that we have recently been linked with on loan?  Ings on loan with a view to permanent would be useful.

Ings had a full season in the Prem and scored goals. Moves to Liverpool and gets picked for England squad(s). Why on earth would he even be tempted to drop down a division now?

Under advisement, I'm deleting this post. Sorry if I caused any offence. Obviously misjudged.  it's a very sensitive area that shouldn't be treated in an offhand way, so I'm sorry about that. I've had a couple of goes at explaining more specifically what I meant, but I suspect it's better to just withdraw the comment!

And if anyone was offended by the 'H' word

It was mostly an observation. But I do actually think that it can be a factor. I think it's fairly well evidenced that at Least some black people have extra athletic ability and pace. I think that can come in handy in forward positions especially

Not that I'd mind a honky if he could offer the same threat

Oh my.

I'm positive that you're earnestly posting with the best intentions.

But I get the feeling that you may struggle to get the worms back in your can.

Blimey Matt, do yourself a massive favour and delete that post and retract your comments. It's not worth it.

I really rate Wilson, I think he'd be a terrific signing.  Hopefully our new captain can have a word...

Wilson would be a good (and surprising signing). I thought he was a Coventry fan and previously stated he would never play for us?
