Callum Wilson: offered 'incentive-based' contract extension (Ornstein)

Am I alone in being slightly uncertain about this podcast he's doing?


In what way? That it is bad for the club and himself, with him perhaps leaking information or undermining the management? Or just that it isn’t very good? 
 

If it is the latter, then I tend to agree. It may have picked up a bit. But the first four I listened to were dull and they both just awkwardly laugh at unfunny shit all the while. So I never bothered carrying on with it.
 

They both come across like decent, genuine blokes, mind.

Harsh but also he isn't a striker and offers a lot more, he almost single handedly kept us up and comfortable last season.  

thats what i mean. he scored early on for us. no pressure and confidence sky rocketed.

he just seems to be feeling the pressure and the responsibilty this season.

At first I admired his honesty and openness, but I do worry when that may cross a line with this.

I'm real disappointed Wilson won't be back until the end of the season and it's a clear sign he can't be relied on for the future.  Gayle must be finished if Bruce wouldn't play him   Put  runners around Wood.  If we can't hit on the counter we'll play Wood as the big man to knock down for the runners.  If Howe plays the 4-3-3 I'd put Willock in for Shelvey and let him make his late runs.

Any news on his progress?


Yes. He returned to training and apparently took out the whole first team who are now out injured for the season. Wilson also got injured.

Kind of you sir. Sucks to be in that situation.

If and it’s a big if we can get him back for a run of games at the end particularly given how tough some of them are, it would be a huge bonus. The nature of the injury and his record suggests he’s probably done for the season sadly. With Wilson and Trippier in for the final 5-6 games would be massive.

Hopefully they won't be needed.

I wonder if he's one of those who we would try to keep when it comes to contract renewal time? He's a bit of a hero for me, but the absence through injuries for half the season is starting to get a bit depressing.

 

I think we'll buy a new striker in the summer regardless, I suppose it just depends if Wilson is one of Howe's blue chip players.

I think Wilson and Wood will be 3rd and 4th choice strikers next year.  Two new strikers in and Gayle let go.

 

Wilson is never going to be 3rd choice striker. We'll buy one new striker and Wilson will share the duties with whoever that is. He'll still be one of our top players, we just won't be so reliant on him.
