Never scored more for a club than his 15 for us.

Who would have predicted that when he left! Certainly one way to sum up the sadness of that unfulfilled potential.

That’s mental, can’t believe that actually.

Evan Ferguson reminds me a bit of Connor, hope he fares better.

That goal against Sheffield Utd. Oof, I thought here we go there’s going to be no stopping the lad. He must have only been 16 or 17 then.

To think we only got half a season of form out of him before selling him*...and about 10 sub appearances from Jordan Rhodes.

Marcus Evans man

*Appreciate we got decent money for Wickham but it was still a shame, and in hindsight and ignoring the £££, the move came too early for him.

Yeah, ironically, we made an absolute killing when you look at how his career went... £££

You can’t ignore the money buh!

It allowed us to push on with the key signings of Michael Chopra, Nathan Ellington, Jimmy Bullard (the 2nd), JET and Ivar Ingimarsson.

Nothing wrong with the business we did on Wickham. The criminal one was letting Rhodes go for peanuts.

It was terrible business, in that we didn't progress, re-invest and our owner ended up losing 100mil or thereabouts of his own money for a third tier club. Had we kept Rhodes/Wickham we may have managed to get into the Playoffs one season and up, and made significantly more than the sales of both brought in.

Surely the bad business is what we did after, not that fact that we got very good money for Wickham?

Any longer and we'd have risked punishment by the FA for having had both him and Rhodes on the books at one point.

Yeah, but the FA would have punished us heavily if we'd ever played the pair of them together.

The worst business we did that season was keeping Famous Roy in a job past mid-september.

I don't think Wickham made a bad move, he was just unlucky that he got a knee injury & by the time he was fit again, he had fallen out of favour with new sunderland manager Martin O'Neill, under whom the club were having something of a revival.

An unsurprising fact to any of those that came across young Connor - I dare say that while his bank account will be healthy, he has a number of professional regrets.

Rhodes was down to Keane.

Sort of. Jordan was collateral damage in the row between Andy and Roy. #footballdads
