Anybody that is writing Wesley off also wrote off Trez, El Ghazi, Luiz, Nakamba, Targett and probably Watkins when he hadn't scored after 6 matches....  you see?

None of them had an injury that kept them out for over 12 months.

Kodjia was never the same after his two bad injuries around 2017 and Kozak was pretty much done after his leg break so I'm not expecting much from Wes tbh.

And he certainly isn't going to be impacting games in the run in, will be more easing him back in with 5-10 minute cameos for first six weeks he's on the bench.

He was written off before his injury.

Samatta's got five goals in 15 appearances this season I think. Gave a big interview a few days ago and was  very reluctant to leave.

Samatta, unfortunately, poorly scouted shite. Nowhere near what was needed to play in a team like we currently have.

Has he signed for them? - also linked with Parma and Fiorentina.
Now, let me just think: Smethwick ... Florence .. Smeth; fuck it! Florence!

Disagree, but each to their own I suppose.

Assuming Wes recovers completely from his injury I’d like to see how he gets on in a team creating 15-20 chances in a game. Could be another player who we bought last season who flourishes in a better team as a few others have.

Wes upfront and Ollie outwide, as he's very comfortable out there .This would make us a very physical and skilful side.And as suggested by others Mings to cover for Targett...we could even outmuscle Burnley.

I'll admit I've pretty much written off Wes in my mind.  Hopefully I'll be wrong, but not holding my breath.

I don't think anyone, let alone everyone, has said Wesley's the next superstar.

Just that it might be worth seeing what a £20m+ Brazilian international striker can do in a good team with a bit more Premier League experience under his belt before discarding him. Not that unreasonable really.
