All managers gamble at what ever level they manage at, look as us with Stead we took a gamble on player who was playing and scoring at a lower level.
He came to Rovers and did well mainly because Prem teams didn't know a lot about him but of course the following season he got found out and went down the pan.
Wolcott is an unknown at full International level and being as we haven't seen him play I'm pretty sure the opposition hasn't seen him play as well, I'm not saying he's gonna be the next Rooney but you never know.
All this time Sven has been slagged off for being cautious now he's took a big gamble he's now getting slagged for that.
Be interesting to see what happens in the press if Wolcott scores a couple of goals, then he'll be the World Cup saviour , also interested to know what odds being offered on Wolcott scoring on his debut.
