As there’s ten Swansea players in the image, not unless it’s the GK!

Any looks like he's got curvature of the spine, always strikes me the unseen videos, and once you seen it, the image is hard to block out!

I know what you mean. Them GPS things they wear don’t do anything for him - not as noticeable on other players.

It will be interesting to see how the people who were desperate to send Haji back react now, if he's unavailable for any length of time!

He's a key player. It's hard to see how we can keep the successful formation without him, so reinforcements are urgently required.

He could easily have 20 goals and assists this season. What a return that would be

Think I’m going to have to concede on Haji, I’ve got it wrong. Just can’t argue with his record.

As someone else said, can’t remember who it was, but he is an enigma, and when’s he’s good he’s going to be good, but when he’s bad, he’s going to be really bad. Accept him for what he is and move on.

Keep the goals coming Haji!!!

Glad you have changed your mind.

Some people need to consider the upheaval in his life to join us. Then he joins a physical league played at pace with players that didn't know each other. He looks the real deal.

100%. You could see glimpses of quality but now he literally involved in every game. He makes and is part of most goals. Then it’s his personal life and a young child I believe? He has only been in this country 5 months. I think it’s easily forgotten.

Said months ago when everyone thought he was awful i rated him highly, the lad looks like he will score in every game. Constantly in the right place at the right time. Yes at times his first touch is laughable and yes at times his decision making is questionable, but these are always when we aren't in a goalscoring position. When we are in for a goal Haji somehow seems to be there unmarked and scores. His confidence is flying now and you can tell he has made real friends on our side and the price tag paid for him has now been forgotten. 20 games remain in the league and Wrighty has 8 goals and 5 assists to his name. I honestly believe within the next 20 games, Wright will score a hat-trick and he will score a brace in 2 of the 20 games. This will put his goal scoring tally up to 13 and i can see within them remaining 18 games Wright possibly scoring 6 goals and providing 4 or 5 more assists. That would put him at 19 goals and around 9 assists in his first season in english football. Truly something no one can say is underwhelming, obviously this is hypothetical but i just see Wrighty as someone that defenders struggle against. His size, frame, speed and his ability to just be in the right place unmarked regularly puts him in a strong position to fulfill my hypothetical prediction.

Just wanna wish everyone on here a Happy New Year, keep the faith in the squad, Robins and keep believing.

I said he was an enigma, really hard to grade from game to game. But he is going to have very good stats by the end of the season.

With losing Vik and Gus i said we needed to replace the stats. Not pay too much attention to performance or type of player, If we compare Vik and Gus stats and replace them with Hagi and Tatsu so far they may get close but i dont think they will match. However having Callum in he will add to those 2.

Vik-21 goals, 12 assists- Haji 8 goals, 4 assists
Gus-11 goals, 10 assists- Tatsu 6 goals, 2 assists
COH- 0 goals, 3 assists- COH, 3 goals, 1 assist
Godden,8 goals,4 assists- Godden, 6 goals,0 assist
Allen- 6 goals, 2 assists- Simms, 3 goals, 1 assist

Others like Sheaf, Palmer and Eccles will match or already be have matched last seasons stats. Just have to keep going and try to better the stats lost.

I was wrong about him too. His touches remind of a certain Darren Huckerby..either brilliant or atrocious. Still early days.

Personally I don't mind the atrocious bits as long as they add a bit of brilliance to most games. With Haji the brilliant bits are currently contributing to most of our positive results.

He’s certainly a good poacher of a striker. He’s not scoring screamers but he knows when to react and follow up.

I still can’t believe the fee we paid for him, and don’t think he’s worth what we paid, but, he’s scoring and that’s the most you can expect of a striker. We just need to find someone to compliment him up top that can be as prolific, as at the moment Godden and Simms don’t seem the right fit, but he’s also not a lone striker.

I don't understand how you can't see his quality at this point. He's been involved in 90% of our goals recently and is much more than a poacher.

He has attributes that most championship players don't have. The fee seems more than fair to me.

I'm not swinging the other way of the pendulum just yet. He's playing well and making my earlier comments look foolish.

He's played 27 games but really if you calculate it by game time its only 19 games. 13 G/A in 19 games...

If he can keep this up and finish on 25/26 then he is very much living up to his price tag.

Every time I see him track back and help the midfield/defence out, he really goes up in my estimation. I think Robins has cracked it, I don't think he is an out and out striker.

Haji to the left of me, Saka to the right, stuck in the middle with Simms. (That's not a slight on Simms by the way!)

Just watching that, I'm not saying he's better than Gyokeres but Wright seems to generally hit the ball cleaner than Vik. Not taking anything away from Vik but from memory he tended to scuff a lot of his shots and realistically he should have had about 30+ goals based on chances, even if he'd carved them out himself. Wright looks a little bit more composed in front of goal and is obviously getting better by game.

I think Vik got better over his time here but agree in his early days he often scuffed it. I genuinely think though Wright's movement is better and he's more naturally gets into goalscoring positions. Vik was previously a winger and didn't always behave like a striker would.

Wright gets on the end of chances, Vik makes more chances of his own, Vik creates more chances than 98% of other forwards!

Vik overperforms his xG whilst Wright is underperforming his.

Is he actually injured then?

I thought it was a ruse to fall on the pitch and waste time before the sub
