He’s so badly needed. It’s a huge indictment of the squad building that a 20 year old with one top flight season in England is the player we most badly need. Because there’s no one else in the squad who can do what he does. To be serious, this squad should have 3 or 4 wingers who can make a difference going at players. We have one who’s injured and one who’s 17. If there aren’t 2 more by the start of next season at the latest, it’s a massive failure by the club.

I’m not saying he won’t or can’t be a success. But I wouldn’t say he was pulling up any trees before the injury.
But I guess the teenagers are the only positives we have right now, so I understand the pining for Wilson’s return.

It’s more the profile than the quality. Because you’re right. We have no clue if he’s good enough of not. I just can’t keep watching son and Johnson out there.

To be fair he played 3 games in the league. He was great against Everton and was okay against Newcastle and only played 22 mins against Arsenal.

You got some statistical evidence to back that up?

TBF we didn't get Odobert instead of Neto, We got Odobert instead of the alternatives as Neto had chosen to go Chelsea
I think the point is we signed an unproven kid over an established player. Which ever one that should have been.

Is this the same Neto with one goal and one assist in 19 games, those are Werner numbers.
Funnily enough a lot of their fans compare him to Werner in front of goal. I know he causes more problems for defenders than his goals/assists suggest, but I don't think he was worth the £50m odd they paid for him.

Did something change with his status? Have seen a few comments on other threads that imply he’ll be back sooner vs later? I thought the latest actual news was he is likely out into the spring?

Saw somewhere, can’t remember where, that he might be back in February.
