I don’t agree that they are all too similar. I see Wyke as a similar type to Kelly, although Wyke is much better. But Armstrong seems more of a runner who’ll get in behind and whilst he’s not lightning quick I wouldn’t say he’s slow. I like the look of a Wyke Armstrong front two in the system we play, but it’s massively important that our wing backs supply them. Wyke and Armstrong with Kelly to come on for Wyke on 60-70mins if and when required. With Kelly's injury record that kind of arrangement may work quite well.

I'm not sure why folk are throwing their toys out of the pram.
There has to be a genuine question about his fitness due his condition and the number of starts he managed last season.
Fantastic if he starts 35 league games for us next season and bags 20 odd goals, but how likely is this?
It's not "negative" to ask questions like this, it's perfectly sensible and realistic.

unfortunately that doesn't work when people quote the fool and you still get to read his utter drivel. Tbh the more he comes out with this shit the more people will eventually just think he is a **** and **** him off for good. Most people do know he's a troll and just scroll past it, but because of people like yourself and a few others including the site owner who continually fall for his bait, he won't go away until he's largely ignored. Trolls thrive on attention, take that away from them and they lose their impact. Unfortunately, he's far worse or more complex than a mere troll or WUM - although I'm not going to begin explaining his psychology on this MB (which is anything but obvious). And he's not stupid, which adds to the complexity. That said, dysfunction needs feeding so your suggestions aren't irrelevant. 👍 We all frequently disagree with one another, which has to be expected to some degree, but Piglet ruins many threads by his incessant behaviour with the consequence of people not bothering to read them as much. You don't necessarily need to understand the ugliness of someone's mentality to see or be put off by the resulting tediousness.

Go on, give it a go. We could all benefit from your insights.

How exactly is asking a question about a player's fitness and ability to start 30 plus games in a season (in the light of an obvious health condition, and low number of starts last season) "worse than trolling"?
I'm not saying this signing is a poor signing necessarily, I'm not slagging the poor bloke off (I totally commend and admire his efforts to get playing again). And I honestly hope the signing works out for him and the club.
However, I reckon if you're a sensible, rational supporter you really do have to ask the question.

Try working it out for yourself, but don't hold your breath because it's not easy (and most are ignorant of psychology, not least their own baggage). The leaks or clues are there if you bother to look and link.

This board was actually decent for a few days without any trolling, monopolising and far right-right ideology.

He only started 18 league games last season for both clubs combined (that's less than half a season, obviously). The other appearances were off the bench. Fitness has got to be a massive concern here. At Wigan he wasn’t always first choice, same at Rotherham when Evans went in there. I don’t see him playing 40-50 games for us from the start next season. However our team and squad is monumentally better with Charlie Wyke in it and if we manage him well he could be the different between promotion and another year in L2. There was a pretty well documented fall-out between Wyke and Maloney at Wigan after Wyke got sent off in the home defeat to Portsmouth. Despite starting every game prior, he didn’t even make the squad in the games after returning from suspension and when he finally did he got hooked at half time which led to a further disagreement and omission from the squad. He barely made another start under Maloney. As far as I know, he was fit all last season for Wigan. He did return from his loan at Rotherham early due to injury though.

I would love to read a book of Piglet physology. It would be like Marcus Aurielus for the modern day

I would love to read a book of Piglet physology. It would be like Marcus Aurielus for the modern day You think reading Tim's thoughts would make us wiser and more virtuous? Stoicism for the masses? Good luck selling that. Whether Wyke is a great signing or not, we will see. Worse case scenario, he is injured all the time, hardly a new situation for Rotherham players. However, he has played well in the past at a much higher level than the 4th, so the signs are good. As a minimum, he helps put to bed the rumours that we don't have any money. Welcome back Charlie, best of luck, looking forward to seeing you smack in a few goals. Looks a good signing on paper
