Callum Wilson a doubt for season opener due to minor back surgery (Various)

[Decky]

This lad may as well just retire after the end of the season if he can't get a pay day in Saudi. He's gonna end up leaving here on a sour note if he's constantly injured again this season. Beyond laughable now.

Injuries building up and pre season has barely begun, little bit concerning.

It’s just the players you know would be injured anyway?

[RodneyCisse]

Too much shagging.

[Rich]

Can only laugh at this stage. At least it’s happened now while we can get another striker in and when it seems he’ll be back before the window shuts.

[SUPERTOON]

Not concerned tbh, the plan was always to get a new striker and this will only accelerate the plans. If we bring in a new striker and keep Wilson as well, I only see that as a positive (of course I’d sell for a decent offer). 

[KaKa]

There were people in here saying they'd be fine with going with him and Isak again this season.

 

I could not believe what I was reading at the time.

 

This man can no longer be counted on at all, unfortunately.

 

No one is likely to buy him now either, and so we're likely going to have to let his contract run down.

 

At least now we know for certain that we have to sign another forward of decent standard to back up Isak.

all you do is dig up ‘what people were saying’ let them have their opinion. Such a weird attitude. Your point is absolutely fine without those first 2 sentences. Such an air of superiority. Needless 

 

for what it’s worth I’m of the opinion Wilson should go

He needs peddling asap unfortunately, we can’t have another season of him being injured and Isak being flogged. 

[janpawel]

Surely the injury fucks any chance of selling him this window 

[KaKa]

This whole Wilson thing is going to be the case with Arsenal fans as well this season, regarding Partey.

 

There were people over there quite glad that he's supposedly staying. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Absolutely mortifying!

 

Their tears will soon come too.

 

He and Wilson must be related.

Aye, that was my first thought. We're stuck with him now.

It's the standard short term memory stuff.

If that Atletico Madrid bid was really a thing, we missed a trick there.

Possibly he can still get a move to Saudi but he has little value anyway in terms of transfer fee, so it might be one we have to suck it up on.

Thought it was a loan, in which case they’d have seen at close quarters he’s made of Super Noodles and paper mache and said ‘no mas’.

The strange thing with Wilson is that he didn't really seem to be willing to embrace a more secondary role despite all the injuries.

 

I just didn't get the reasoning in keeping him really, at least we will have to bring someone in now, and he really can't have any complaints.

 

Once he is back up and running he'll likely be third choice, so he'll have to accept that.

Was it? Can't 100% recall now.

 

Thought it was a permanent transfer.

This stopped being funny about five injuries ago. 
 

We’re not going to be able to peddle him anywhere at this rate. Not even Forest will help us out with this one.

I guess any transfer fee above whatever his current book value we'd have to consider? Assuming we can bring in a replacement

Let me try

 

* clears throat *

 

How about we all just get off his back.

[sempuki]

Might as well keep him (in the treatment room) this season as no-one will be mad enough to buy him.

[Likelylad]

Verging on Dyer/Woodgate territory here. 

He needs to stay out the gym and follow Gordon's routine.

You're talking about a player who's spent about as much of his professional career in rehab as he has on the pitch.

 

This shit doesn't faze him. He's got a bona fide contract after all. They have to pay him.. sore tit? "Sick pay!" - bit of a back strain? "Sick pay!"

 

Don't forget the obligatory Insta post to say how devastated he is and that he'll be back soon.

 

Callum Wilson is as much of a problem as his injuries are. Now wait and see, he'll be back when the window closes and then he'll pick up something new when the January one is about to open. He's just running down the contract which may have an automatic year extension clause.

 

That'll bring him up to 34 going on 35... just in time for retirement and then a lucrative tv pundit career with that lovely smile.

 

Or am I being cynical?

Why would he do this? He's ruining his career and a chance of a new contract.

 

Such a weird post.
