Wilson is still young and his goals per minute is horrible compared to Chicharito it would be detrimental to the team to play a worse striker just to accommodate him. Chicharito scores at twice the rate, assist can't be compared since wilson doesnt have one although per 90 chicharito is one of the best strikers at it, also chicharito creates 6x as many chances per 90.
Absolutely pointless comparison. Wilson has been subbed on at the end of several games when we are trying to hold on to wins and is given defensive roles. He was subbed on to play as a wing back several times in the year as well at the beginning of the season. Comparing two players with very different playstyles in terms of goalscoring assists, when one plays for arguably the best team in the world right now, playing alongside Ronaldo, Bale etc. and the other was playing earlier in the season with a United side who were massively struggling to create any chances per game.
Regardless, you can go on and on about how Javier is a better player (that's not what I'm disagreeing with), the simple fact is LVG did not want him. He doesn't fit the profile of what LVG wants in a player. He was told he could leave. If you can't understand that concept then this conversation is absolutely pointless.
It would be insane to play Wilson over him at this point. This isn't FIFA there are actual consequences to these decisions. Just because you rate a player for the future doesnt make him a better option for the future.
Neither of them would get a start over Rooney or RVP in our 433. Wilson at best will be brought on to do a defensive job or to inject pace into the attack. He is ridiculously quick. And before you mention some comment about Chicha being faster, LVG DOESN'T RATE HIM.
As for RVP id bet 100 quid he doesnt see the pitch more than 20 games in the league next season. he'll be crocked by round 6.
Bullshit, complete guess work. You realize LVG loves RVP? He played him in every single game he could up until his injury. You know he's made 26 apps this season so far?
The only reason Welbeck and Chicharito went out was Falcao came in but he's failed so without a purchase, i find it hard to believe the guy won't get games
No, they were both told they weren't wanted by LVG before Falcao was bought. Falcao was an absolutely last minute thing. Welbeck was kept until the last minute until we confirmed that Falcao was coming. Chicharito on the other hand was let go before we even got Falcao.
I really find it hard you are a United fan or actually follow United if you missed the reports from all the journos that Hernandez was told he wasn't part of LVG's plans. We had 3 world class strikers in the first team and we promoted Wilson still and played him over them all a few times. It doesn't matter what you think about who's better between the two, LVG clearly rates Wilson more and wants to develop him. LVG has spoken many times about how he prefers to work with young players because it's easier for them to pick up his tactics. If you don't think that he prefers to work with young players and doesn't always have one eye on the future of a club then you don't know him very well. Look at what he did to Barcelona and Bayern munich. He loves promoting and playing youth players.
LVG doesn't give a shit who the better player is. He cares about who will follow his instructions and tactics precisely to a tee. There's a reason Young has made Di Maria a bench player now, despite Di Maria having loads of assists. Young offers more defensively, is more careful with possession.
