I was the biggest Wesley critic, but he has been here half a season and I also thought he had started to improve leading up to his injury, didnt he score in the Burnley game he was injured in ?
I would not get rid of and certainly not at a loss but I would want a proven scorer to start next season while giving him a chance to acclimatise.

Would bite Lazio's had off for £13m for Wesley who is the worst value striker we have signed since Balaban.
Can someone please let  me know what Wesley offers other than holding the ball up, because I'm obviously missing something. yes he is relatively young, and in a new country.

He isn't even as good at holding the ball up as Davis, who honestly looks a better player despite never scoring.

Yes, at the Arsenal game Davis ran and got into their box for a half chance
Wesley wouldnt thought of even running.
So if Lazio could give double figures for him, however unlikely, take the money.

Thing is, By the time he is physically fit, Wesley will be a year behind those players that have come in and adapted to the PL. I’m thinking Dougie, Freddie, Konsa amongst others.
He is always going to be playing catch-up with his own team.

& replace him with who for £13 million? Surely we would likely recoup that or more in 12 months time. A far shrewder gamble would be to hold on to him and see if he can establish himself.

Wesley, who has scored against Arsenal, over Davis, who had a chance against Arsenal, but didn't score as he only scores against Barnsley or Burton Albion.

Wesley will come good - no doubts about that and I am always right!!

I wouldn't be upset if he went and I wouldn't be upset if he stayed.  Either way we're going to have to spend big on a good striker.  If he does go I hope we get more then 13M.

We paid more than £13m. We’re not selling him for a loss if he does go.

He is our record signing, the scouting department got sacked and we’re not in a sell to buy situation.

He’s not worth what we spent.

Who knows what will happen..?
