If he participated in the second half of the season and scored say 8 goals would people not even give him a one year deal on 20k? He will have virtually zero PSR impact or cost.

 

His transfer value is zero on January, and was probably zero over the summer too. Can’t undo the decisions from 1-2 years ago now.

No, we need to stop hanging onto players long after they should have been moved on.

If Osula really comes along second half of the season and starts looking a threat and a viable option, then going with him and Isak next year, with Wilson as a cheap, extra experienced option when he's available could make some sense I guess.

To leave aside his injury record for a moment, whilst he's an excellent striker when fit I'm just not sure that he fits our style of play now, quite apart from his decline with age.

 

He should have gone a year ago, but we obviously didn't have the money or options to replace him.

 

I do like Osula though, for all the limited minutes he has played. I think he'll be increasingly important as the season goes on whilst Wilson's contract ticks down.

 

If he comes back and chips in with a few goals, great. But sell in January if possible, as well as Miggy and Trippier. And that's no slight on any of those players or what they have brought to the club as I like all of them - they just need to move and we can't use them except as bit part players.

Agree a lot depends on what happens with Osula but I’d bet on them getting a Wilson replacement and keeping Osula as the 3rd option too for the start of next season. Ofcourse Isak’s future changes everything assuming we didn’t qualify for Europe.

In your world, yes.

Ideally I think we should have three strikers.

 

If Osula makes big strides and looks a viable rotation option with Isak, then the third striker would have to be someone that is almost more of an emergency option.

 

Pretty much the only role Wilson could fill.

 

In my world  he would have been gone already.

Osula is years away at best from being a viable starting option for a club with our ambitions. He wasn’t bought for the here and now.

 

 

 

 

Yes, that's why I said if he makes big strides, which would be unexpected, only then might we imagine Wilson as an emergency option to keep around.

 

It's all very unlikely, and so he'll be off and rightly so. His injury record is a complete joke at this point.

If he scored 8 goals, he himself would not be asking for that deal. He’d be asking for a minimum 2 year deal on circa £80k pw wages, because that’s what he’d be looking for elsewhere and likely have an offer close to that on the table.
