he has a good chance at arsenal because of the new home grown player thingy, we have many home grown but we do need a young striker

i happened to see him come off the bench against peterborough last season at portman road, while he didnt have much time to change a frustrating 0-0 for ipswich he was certainly lively and a presence upfront. you could see why he's held in such high regard there
With fools luck we sign him; he'll become the next Francis Jeffers
The coonts sign him and hell be the next rooney :/
what, a useless coont lol
ire loves me
Arsenal are pretty covered in that area. The homegrown rule (as i understand it) doesn't really take nationality into account. If you have been in the English (and i think welsh) system for 3+ years before you reach the age of 21, then you are classed as homegrown.....
This means because of their transfer policy where they buy up really young talent they will be fine. (eg- if he stays, i think Fabregas will be considered homegrown)
It's a stupid rule and doesn't really help our national game out ....
I hate when they do this. Wayne Rooney was put in first-team at 16 straightaway. I don't think this Wickham lad will get into anyone first-team set up straightaway.
No-one will give him that chance. It's not him. It's the PL. It's business.
Thats not entirely true. Think about how everton was at that time, fighting relegation until about 3/4 of the way through the season. All Wickham needs to do is find a team like wolves or something where the competition isn't to high for his position.
£10 mil. is the asking price
The Championship club insist they have no need to sell the 17-year-old striker despite debts of £50m.
And they will consider only a substantial offer from the North London giants or one of Wickham's other suitors.
Wickham's father, Stefan, has said previously that his son will not be leaving Portman Road this summer and that the decision is about his future development, not money.
But Ipswich's head could yet be turned as Roy Keane looks to rebuild his squad.

Arsenal don't want him, as far as I know we're the front runners. £10m is too much though, he's good but he's not as good.
10million pay it simple as that....
5now & 5 on future clauses etc & he will be 100x better then the useless moroccan frog

"The news on everyone's lips at the moment is that Daniel Levy has done a deal with Marcus Evans (the Ipswich owner and Chairman) to bring the highly talked about youngster, Connor Wickham to Spurs in the January 2011 transfer window.
Obviously, the club haven't announced anything and aren't likely to any time soon, but the media have jumped on this bandwagon and it's gathering pace.
Some of you know what I think about this lad and my disgust at us taking him away from his football education. I mention the word "disgust" only if the plan is to sign him and loan him to another side, or keep him on the bench.
I'll put on my patriotic hat on for the moment and talk about the England national side. We all know what a mess that squad is in. There aren't many players coming through and if Wickham is a possible future England star, I would prefer him to remain at his club for the time being. I know that many of you couldn't care less about England, but it has come to the point where something needs to be done.
If we do sign him and loan him back to Ipswich, well, that wouldn't be too bad, would it?
News of this possible transfer first came out in the summer and we published the article that it just wasn't right to 1.) spend the reported £10 million on him and 2.) take him away from first-team action and have him try to get into the Tottenham eleven.
The pundits on several podcasts seem to think that Connor Wickham could make it at Premier League level already. I haven't seen him play and so can't make that kind of judgement.
Whatever happens, it will be interesting to see the reaction from Ipswich Town FC on this matter, for it looked as though they did enough to keep him during the summer, preferring to sell Jon Walters to Stoke for £2.75 million instead."

Steven Caulker is the messiah!
Buy him and loan him to a lower tier PL team that has room for a young striker to get playing time, like Liverpool.
