Send him to the championship for half a year and then look again in January? If he does well one of the relegation threatened teams will look at him anyway.
Exactly. He needs to learn how to grab the manager's attention and make himself undroppable. Y'know, like Falcao has.I'm a huge fan of Wilson but like Januzaj, it hasn't helped that everytime we've given him a chance this year neither have been able to step up.
I dont know why he's persisted with Falcao, nobody does, and to a slightly lesser extent Van Persie as well,Exactly. He needs to learn how to grab the manager's attention and make himself undroppable. Y'know, like Falcao has.

Nah, this bunch play better football than the U21's.Well done for getting in the squad but I can't help but think he should be with the under 21's.
They are taking Ings, Kane and Berahino and then out of the other three the only one he could probably replace is Woodrow, and even then i don't think he'd make the cut down to 23 considering the form of Bamford and Afobe this season.Well done for getting in the squad but I can't help but think he should be with the under 21's.
Perhaps he could have gone there in January when they lost Bony and didn't replace him. They've looked rank up front since (No top half PL side should have Marvin Emnes as their 2nd choice centre forward!).Wonder if Gary Monk would be interested? Honestly believe that would be the best team for him in the league but not sure he would get as much game time as we desire.
He needs a higher standard of football than the U21Well done for getting in the squad but I can't help but think he should be with the under 21's.
Very much so, the gap bewteen the first team and the Reserves is huge.He needs a higher standard of football than the U21
I mean for England not United. We need to send him out on loan.He needs a higher standard of football than the U21
Also a very stupid thing to do. Welbeck didn't develop very well either so I'm not sure the example works. And welbeck was much older.Instead of splurging on a striker, I would prefer to see Wilson up front. It seems like a very United thing to do. Kinda similar to when fergie put his faith in Welbeck and decided to sell berba.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him play a lot more next year. If we don't buy an RvP replacement then its likely LvG has full confidence that this could be Wilson's breakthrough year.Instead of splurging on a striker, I would prefer to see Wilson up front. It seems like a very United thing to do. Kinda similar to when fergie put his faith in Welbeck and decided to sell berba.
that season when welbeck was leading the line with rooney, we did quite well and were level on points with the champions. welbeck got 12 goals. it was the season after with RVP coming in that welbeck couldn't develop. anyways james wilson, i don't think we will see much of him here, this season or even laterAlso a very stupid thing to do.

Always, except that welbeck played better for us throughout his United career than what Wilson showed last season.Wilson will always be better than welbeck.
Welbeck was good that season. He just never improved in the following 2 years, hence why we got rid.Also a very stupid thing to do. Welbeck didn't develop very well either so I'm not sure the example works. And welbeck was much older.
Indeed but like I said welbeck was much further in his development at the time. Physicality he could handle himself in addition to the other aspects. Wilson looked a little lost. Unless he is a lot more ready and improves drastically by next season I don't see him as good enough right now as second choice striker.that season when welbeck was leading the line with rooney, we did quite well and were level on points with the champions. welbeck got 12 goals. it was the season after with RVP coming in that welbeck couldn't develop. anyways james wilson, i don't think we will see much of him here, this season or even later
I don't disagree. But I wasn't arguing that.Welbeck was good that season. He just never improved in the following 2 years, hence why we got rid.
The original point was when Fergie got rid of Berba and got in Welbeck it was the United thing to do and wasn't a mistake at the time. I feel getting rid of RVP for Wilson isn't a bad idea, aslong as we also replace Falcao and Hernandez with a striker.I don't disagree. But I wasn't arguing that.
The difference being like I've said above, that welbeck was ready and much further in his development than Wilson is, based in last season's evidence. The post I replied to suggested we don't sign a striker and have Wilson as second choice. Going by your last sentence, you disagree with that as well.The original point was when Fergie got rid of Berba and got in Welbeck it was the United thing to do and wasn't a mistake at the time.

And that's partially why England fail to produce elite young players, when you have a young player and room for him, just play him, give him a fair chance.From what we've seen Wilson isn't good enough. He's young and there's potential but not enough to warrant being a place behind Rooney. Should prove himself in the Premiership by going out on loan imo.
I've never agreed with this theory tbh. There are plenty of opportunities for English players if they are good enough.And that's partially why England fail to produce elite young players, when you have a young player and room for him, just play him, give him a fair chance.
You might disagree, but Germany, France, Spain and Italy in the last decade all begun to reproduce quality players, mainly because of the playing time given to the young players.I've never agreed with this theory tbh. There are plenty of opportunities for English players if they are good enough.
Welbeck had two loans first, plus we had Hernandez too, and we even kept Berbatov for an extra season just in case.Instead of splurging on a striker, I would prefer to see Wilson up front. It seems like a very United thing to do. Kinda similar to when fergie put his faith in Welbeck and decided to sell berba.
He will, van Gaal doesn't loan out his best talents and he even got gametime without much cupgames and when we had Falcao, RvP and Rooney. I'm pretty sure if RvP leaves he will be replaced and Wilson becomes 3rd striker.All the reports coming out last season were that LVG really rated Wilson very highly iirc. I'd imagine he'll be part of the first team squad next season.
Sounds about right. The fact he started Wilson against Liverpool shows that he obviously has a lot of faith in the kid, even if it maybe came a bit to early for him this season. I'm looking forward to seeing him develop, I personally think he's a star in the making.He will, van Gaal doesn't loan out his best talents and he even got gametime without much cupgames and when we had Falcao, RvP and Rooney.
