Groundbreaking revelation as ever AnnSimms and Wright are not as good as Vik was.
Give the guy time, Gyokeres was behind Biamou and Tyler Walker when we first signed him.Must admit , this signing concerns me more than Simms (he'll be coached and improved) . Wright came with a lot of hype surrounding him (not his fault) and a lot of money for a player I'd never heard of. From what we've seen so far , should we be a little worried?

Getting all of our players acclimatised to the Championship and our style of play will take time. We’ve lost our most creative player in Hamer and aren’t creating the chances for Godden, Wright or Simms.
In 3 games, Wright has a goal and an assist, it’s hardly a red flag at this moment.
Agree from what I have seen he concerns me more than simms. He clearly has some areas of his game that are decent but first touch and a few others seem lacking and some way off what you would expect for 8m. However, we need to allow the manager and coaching staff to develop him and I think it would be fairest to judge in the new year rather than a handful of games!Must admit , this signing concerns me more than Simms (he'll be coached and improved) .

Helped by him scoring. Had that chance gone in from Simms yesterday i guarantee all the negativity wouldn't existDont know if im in the minority but i think Wright has settled quicker and shown more than Simms so far

I think I’m more concerned about Simms tbh, he started okay yesterday but then just started wandering around, literally walking at times like he’s not bothered. Obviously I’m no football analyst but I think this two up top thing just doesn’t suit either of them, I think we need more midfielders and less strikers atm.
Let’s be honest though. He doesn’t look anything like a €9m player.
It’s no coincidence that we looked most dangerous against Leicester when Wright came on and before Hamer was substituted.I thought second half early on as the game opened up he made a couple of great runs. Unfortunately at the moment we haven’t got a player who can ping a 40yd ball over the defence to the player. Honestly think a ‘Hamer’ should have found him in a tremendous attacking position

What did you expect? The pair of them together cost half of what we got for Vik.Simms and Wright are not as good as Vik was.
It was saved !It’s difficult to get into games when coming on as sub for 30 odd minutes at a time, Wright has struck the cross bar, had an assist, scored and yes missed a chance yesterday.
I think Wright would of started yesterday if it was any other team than Sunderland.I think Wrights an intelligent footballer and has some pace. We need to get balls over him and use it more
I was surprised he didn’t start yesterday
But Robins said Simms has been trying really hard in training........I think Wright would of started yesterday if it was any other team than Sunderland.
Well in that case we need to tell him it's just a training match!But Robins said Simms has been trying really hard in training........

Really strange comment after a handful of games.Let’s be honest though. He doesn’t look anything like a €9m player.
He only got 20 minutes, but forced the keeper into a crucial save and looked to have O'nein on toast. He worked the defenders and pressurised the keeper constantly.Let’s be honest though. He doesn’t look anything like a €9m player.
Think that’s more to do with timings, seems most of their players playing in Europe haven’t featured.Hasn’t been part of the US squads since the WC so potentially good news for us that we get to keep him in the int. break
Let’s be honest though. He doesn’t look anything like a €9m player.
We paid 2 million for Hamer and Gyokores about 3 years ago. Not very long ago and not much had changed.In the current climate 9 million euros is fuck all. Seems loads to us
He's started one league match hasn't he? And he's scored a goal and had a shot pushed against the bar. Some of supporters are incredible.Well if Viktor is eventually €24m I'd say that he looks about right for €9m.
Strange point to be making after 200 minutes anyway.
Against Leicester, he did and his finish against Boro was v good. He’s a full international with a good goal scoring record in a respectable league.
It’s 4 games in the season and the guy has just uprooted his life from Turkey and needs time to adapt to a new league, new team and new style of play.
A top end L1 striker could cost £5-10m in today’s market. Wright or Simms isn’t going to be better than Gyokeres this season, they will both develop and then who knows.
I don’t get this panic for signings to be 100% from day one. The best manager in the world (Pep) regularly signs marquee players and intentionally sits then on the bench until they fit in the system. With our churn of players, we do not have that luxury.
That all said, you’d already made your mind up before we signed him. Patience is king my friend.
Proce tag is not his fault.Let’s be honest though. He doesn’t look anything like a €9m player.
100% agree this is by far the biggest gamble. Should it even be a gamble spending £7M in the championship for a striker.Must admit , this signing concerns me more than Simms (he'll be coached and improved) . Wright came with a lot of hype surrounding him (not his fault) and a lot of money for a player I'd never heard of. From what we've seen so far , should we be a little worried?
