Love that quote.

It was only a couple of years ago people were saying the same about Kane.

He's young and performing well in the championship. You maybe right but only time will tell how far he can go.
9 goals in 25 games isn't really that well. 13 in 21 for his purple patch last season, so he isn't our level IMO.

Also being told 5 clubs are showing an interest in Benik Afobe. 3 in PL. 2 in Championship
Afobe and Iturbe ain't a bad window for a club like Bournemouth. Especially for a January window, too.

Wonder if he's being signed to play as the striker or off? May well allow us to have a run at Callum Wilson in the summer if it's the former. Seem to remember we had interest in him from summer ITK.

I think there was ITK on Wilson mate, maybe towards the last couple of days of the winfow, as it became more & more clear that we weren't getting Berahino?

I think LVG blocked any loan, though? I guess the possibility of another move for him, will depend upon whether LVG is still in charge in the summer (if he lasts that long, boy did we dodge a bullet there!) .

I've never paid much attention to Wilson, but he appears to be extremely highly rated by pundits, and a few members on here, too. So maybe a different Utd manager would make use of the lad?

You're thinking of James Wilson - currently on loan to Brighton. Callum Wilson is the Bournemouth striker currently out with a cruciate ligament knack.

You are getting your Wilsons confused

There's Callum Wilson from Bournemouth (currently long-term out with an ACL)

And James Wilson from Man U (currently on loan at Brighton)
