HaydnNUFC Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 He's class, when fit. But he's started 39 league games out of a possible 76 since he signed for us. If we're relying on him being the main guy next season then something will have gone wrong in the summer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I love Callum Wilson. I think he's great. So tough and determined! Look at him grill Miggy after blasting that one over. The man wants to score goals. When we got him, I thought Wilson was like Jermaine Defoe, but he's actually much better, much more than a smart-moving moocher. He's more like (post-peak) Jamie Vardy, who is himself underrated, basically because he plays for Leicester. If you look at the last four seasons, here's the chart. It's two seasons of Wilson under Howe at Bournemouth (one the relegation season), one and a bit seasons under Bruce, and the last two games for us under Howe. In those four seasons, he's only played 11% fewer minutes than Vardy despite the well-documented injuries. In the chart Vardy shoots more (Sh90) and scores more (G90), but some of that will be playing for a better team. Vardy is a better finisher, but only just.

Lazarus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Yorkie said: Aye, I was seriously impressed with him in the last couple of games tbh, to the extent that, if he keeps that level of performance up, there's no reason why he doesn't have a chance of getting in the England squad. I've always been a bit of a doubter but I think it's cos I didn't want to like him, what with him doing Bruce a favour every other time he played. But I can't believe how effective he's been in terms of bringing the ball down and bullying defenders. I've harped on about it already but if he'd found the inside of the post with that long range strike against Arsenal, I genuinely think we'd have been talking one of the best Newcastle goals of this century; certainly up there with the likes of Cisse and Robert, cos why not? It wasn't just hit and hope; he had the initiative in the first place to see the chance, the strength to hold off the defender, the technique to bring it down and shape to shoot, and then the technique on the shot itself was almost impeccable too - to get it up and over at such range but to keep it down as well. Was so unlucky, would've been a special goal. Every time i watch that i still think the ball is going in but then the balls rotation curves it away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to accept that he just delayed them coming, until he was settled. Probably the reason they're still there is because he saw what a shitshow the club was and wasn't prepared to commit his family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Randomly saw he does a podcast with michail antonio listened to latest one, nothing on there of particular interest and if honest none of them particularly insightful on anything (just a bit of a 'bantz' pod by sounds of it, but was nice how he insisted on his votes for end of season awards to bruno, big joe and eddie howe despite being ribbed for only nominating from his own team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Bit worried for the lad. Can he still put the ball in the back of the net this season?

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Read these stats in The Mirror: ”Wilson signed for the Magpies in September 2020 for around £20m, and has since gone on to register 20 goals and five assists in 44 top flight outings during his two-season stay. ” Imagine how excited we’d be signing someone new who had that kind of return in the Premier League?

The Butcher Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 He's 30 and with his injury record? Stay fit for an entire season and then we'll talk. Wouldn't give him a new deal now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 In his 6 seasons at Bournemouth he played over 25 times in 4 of them and 30 or more in 3 of those 4. 26 is the most appearances he's had in a season with us. So perhaps Howe will have a plan in place for him, to keep him fit for longer and injury free as much as possible. Not having to rely on him to play 90minutes whenever he is avaible because we actually have another capable ST or 2 will also play a big part.
