Charlie Wyke

Why?
It's a rivalry.

2 matches in a season isn't as fun as a 46 of them still being in League One.

There was nothing fun about their fans hurling disgusting paedo chants at children last time they were here.
Very true don’t forget their precious
safety committing their ludicrous allocation we get at this beloved “derby”.
 
I’d like to see Sunderland promoted. Always enjoy derby games.

good luck to the lad but he's not championship quality and never will be. He's a poor mans Danny Graham/Jordan Huggill, limited, works hard, good up to a his glass ceiling.
I respect your views Mart , but is your view on recently seeing him in the flesh , or past views ?
Can he be another Ricky Lambert ?
Ugly football in this league sometimes needs ugly football
Charlie does what he does , and 25 goals proves it .
Him and Hugill / Smith up top would be a right handful .

We have a fair few morons following us mate, don’t you kid yourself.
And?

I get more enjoyment out of seeing Sunderland not promoted than I do from 2 matches in a season.
I enjoyed their relegation from the Championship more than our win and draw against them.

Each to their own mate, just enjoy the matches against them. I have this argument with my old man all the time, who incidentally actually went to Roker Park to see them get relegated against Liverpool in the 70s. Which takes it to another level.
 
No good him coming here the fans would have his life. Many don't seem to like local lads playing for Boro and do nothing but slag them off. ;)

On a serious note I have never really watched him play so I don't know if he looks decent or not but his record is outstanding this year. Lots of goals with his head as well. If his contract is really up it would be extremely bad management from Boro if we were not aware of it and were not having a look at him. If we were interested the feelers should have already gone out given his local connections. That said there has been no posts from the usual ITK suspects.
 
Wouldn’t want Jones here, recent antics at rangers have shown he’s still a tool.

Wyke I wouldn’t be against if Warnock rates him, not sure he can step up though.
 
Sad, feel sorry
Sad, feel sorry for you mate.
Just rivalry

I went to Roker Park numerous times as a young Boro fan, tasty in those days let’s say .
part of the reason I don’t want them to win anything , old wounds don’t heal . Rivalry was a bit more animated in the old days !
Not for the faint hearted .

Sam Cosgrove was linked to us but signed for Brum for over £2m , and has played a total of 22 minutes due to injury .
Key to signings is , are they going to play regularly / be available .
Karanka probably wishes he spent £500k on Charlie Wyke , than £2.2m on Sam .
And we can get Charlie on a free ? And people question it ?
Nothing to lose , lots to gain , plays every game , would fit straight in .
NO BRAINER .
Let's face it , Warnock wants a brute up front , a bully , and Wyke and Smith fit the bill .
It won't be nice at times , a bit like Burnley , but do we care ?
Neil will know what he wants , and who he wants , I will trust his judgement .

As a squad player perhaps, as a first team regular I would be worried. He won't get a kick against Sheff U, West Brom and Newcastle defenders next year if he's with us. Need someone with a bit more technique as a first choice. We need to find our own Lukas Joao, Kieffer Moore, Dom Solanke type. Big and powerful, but with either lots of pace like Solanke, quick feet like Joao or a good touch like Moore. I'm not sure that Wyke has anything other than a bit of bullying and ok finishing. But for free, yes, we might need 3 forwards so might be worth a punt.

Any suggestions Mart ?

Can I borrow your crystal ball. You already know how good he will be if he plays in Championship and you know which teams are going to be relegated. What's this week's lottery numbers.😄👍

On a more serious note all players stepping up a division are gambles. Remember that bloke who went to Leeds who would never make it in the PL.
