Transfer Rumour Haji Wright (10 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

Is he actually injured then?

I thought it was a ruse to fall on the pitch and waste time before the sub

Yeah it looked like it.

[SleepyGinger]

Any update? Looked like his groin

I think Vik got better over his time here but agree in his early days he often scuffed it. I genuinely think though Wright's movement is better and he's more naturally gets into goalscoring positions. Vik was previously a winger and didn't always behave like a striker would.

Wright gets on the end of chances, Vik makes more chances of his own, Vik creates more chances than 98% of other forwards!

Vik overperforms his xG whilst Wright is underperforming his.

I also think Vik is striking the ball much better now at Sporting, because he is surrounded by really high quality players who are giving him balls at just the right pace and angle. Vik would often snatch at strikes or look off balance.

If you think about how we played last season - a lot of countering and with less quality all over the pitch than we have today - I think Vik was even better than we saw. Wright is benefitting from some great service from some really great passes too from the likes of Sakamoto.

Anyone surprised by how well Gyökeres is doing in Portugal wasn’t paying attention for the last 2.5 years. His improvement while with us was incredible - and each time he was set a higher test he passed it easily. As some of us said at the time playing at a higher level (with better protection from the referees, and VAR to expose the number of holding fouls committed on him) would only increase his impact.

Jake Bidwell looks like the hunchback of notre dame with one on

he looks like a Hyena when he runs!

Yeah he did what he did here with two championship defenders hanging off him.

To be fair the Portuguese league is pretty shit outside of the big 3.

Ruben Lameiras has carved out a decent career there despite never playing higher than league one in England.

Lameiras was a good player and would suit our team as it is now.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Some murmurings on Twitter he’s going be out for a month.

He plays for the club bottom of the league now and has been on the bench for them - if he wanted to come back to England imagine he’ll be struggling to get a top L1 club.

It wasn’t a suggested signing.

just an observation his style of football would suit us now rather than some of the shite we played when he was here

Seen this

I really hope not, hes been fantastic the last 6 weeks

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hope it’s not true, was starting to look a very good player for us in recent weeks.

 

[shmmeee]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he got a niggle. Played 26 times this season last three in Turkey were 29, 32, 28. Do they have a winter breaknover there?

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

ERM don't know about endorsing a post that displays the Palestinian flag, edgy, where can I buy one.

I bought a Palestinian footy shirt the other day .

Yeah just our luck, in form and gets injured.

As usual a load of nonsense, Robins has confirmed he's ok

 

[AJB1983]

We’ve had a few adductor issues this season, some worse than others. Palmer and Van Ewijk were weren’t they, and Sheaf? Or was that his calf?
anyway, good he’s ok. Hopefully the rest this week will help him ready for Leicester.

Every ten minutes during games does an Israeli player get subbed on?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Good news!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

This is one of the weirdest tables I've seen, but Haji Wright (5th) and Tatsuhiro Sakamota (15th) are supposedly 2 of the top 20 Championship players who increase the chances of goals for their team.

 

[Gibbo]

Even by the standards of the world's most fickle people, football fans, I find the wild change in appreciation for Wright from complete dud to absolutely essential and his absence liable to cost us the game, all with a month or so, just jaw dropping. I am no talent spotter (quite the reverse) but even as early as the game against Watford you could see what he was capable of

Fuck me noooooooooo had nightmares about him playing

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

So how injured is he

 

[Greggs]

So how injured is he

Broken leg apparently

 

[Mcbean]

4 weeks groin strain

 

[covcity4life]

Won't get back in this team. Sell for quick profit.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

So how injured is he

Less than a dead cat

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

4 weeks groin strain

Abductor strain.

 

[larry_david]

Who's the team in yellow where the big number 5 tries to do him and end sup crocked like a sack of shit and godden scores? Forgot about that but made me laugh at the time

Watford


And fuck me he's contributed so much already at a time he's been called waste of money and worse. Can't wait to have him back!

 

[Sick Boy]

Remember when a poster on here said he looked like he had no passion for the game and was only playing because he couldn't get into American sports teams at school - hahaha.

Hell, you could see it in his first moments during the first game against Leicester!
