gbandit Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Class, now that we have Isak and are focusing on bringing younger talent through it’s good that we’ve got Wilson for a few more years. There’s no way he will stay fit consistently but he’s shown that even if he plays half a season he’s still massive for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Belta. Even as a 3rd choice, in the future, he's a class act who would score goals with his zimmer frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Two years with option of a third. Includes some sort of coaching/mentoring responsibilities for younger players at the club too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Was saying earlier he makes a lot of the other attackers in the team better when he plays, plus he’s a constant goal threat. Think he’s got one eye on a coaching career too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying in 2 years time, when he's 32, he might not be first choice, in fact it's a certainty given his injury problems but even in that capacity he's a great option.

christ Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 No brainer. Guarantees goals when he’s on the pitch. Now we just need to sort out a better chant for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 "When Wilson joined from Bournemouth for £20million ($22.3m) in 2020, he turned down Aston Villa, accepting a lower salary than they were offering to go to Newcastle."

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Personally, I think this is great. I imagine that he's been told he's going to have some serious competition in the coming years but he's still up for the fight. It's up the club to make sure we're not as reliant on him during this period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Basically a pay rise rather than a genuine extension in contract length. I'm fine with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Worth it just for the half season of games he plays tbh. Incredibly consistent and makes us much more coherent going forward, he's the complete package as a striker imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Great news. Even if his minutes decrease in coming seasons he’ll still be huge for the team and dressing room. I hope he stays fit and gets a solid run in the team over the next couple months. Be great seeing us play Man U, Spurs etc with a proper first 11.

Scoot Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I'm happy with this news. I know he's injured a lot but as long as we have players who can play there to cover for him which we have now (Isak), it isn't a big problem anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
