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


Recommended Posts

I love this news. He’s easily one of our leaders/captains and with the pay rise and added responsibility of bringing through Isak, Kuol and of course still being a top striker for us.

great news.

his family were coming up over the summer to move here but i think there were a few issues finding somewhere they liked.

at least with a long term contract, they should all be settled knowing he's gonna be here hopefully another 2-3 years.

A massively underrated shithouse too. Can tell he worked his way up the leagues.

 

Came in here to post this.  I never realised it until we signed him.  Lovely smile, handsome chap, kind face.  Absolute shithouse of the highest order.  

 

That body check on, I think it was Ream?  Knew exactly what he was doing.  Always chirping and chipping away at defenders.  Decided to get stuck into the Fulham fans a bit with his celebration, even :lol:  Which seems harsh, they are like polite Rugby Union fans, probably even more tame, really.  Trippier was having none of it and seemed to be pushing him away.  

 

Not sure who we rely on more out of Bruno, ASM and Wilson.  But my God, the way we attack is totally different and so much better with Wilson leading the line.  He regularly seems to be marshalling the wide men and demanding the ball off the midfielders.

 

Just a great 9.  Really hope he can last at least get 10-15 games in a row without getting crocked again.

"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."

 

:lol: Villa, absolutely finished

He’s a Coventry lad. He hates Villa.

Bruno, ASM, Isak, Wilson.

 

Can't wait to see them all on the pitch at the same time and I just pray it clicks. If it does - we'll batter a decent team eventually.

Every time you see one of the wide men failing to get the pass in, when you watch the replay he'll inevitably be pointing both arms at his feet screaming they should have put him in regardless of how good their own position was. The best strikers have that selfish streak, and he's up there with the best, that's for sure.

Can't see Southgate selecting him as he's just too much of an injury risk 

It's fine. It's not like Tammy and Toney got too many minutes in the last 2 games.

I love Wilson, he's great.

 

Only 10 touches vs. Fulham, only one more than Mitro, but scored once and nearly scored two more times. I mention the number of touches because it may contradict certain expectations about what a forward is and should or shouldn't do. The usual stuff like "focus of the attack", "hold the ball up" etc. doesn't really apply. What he does do is find space in dangerous areas and exploit it ruthlessly when given the ball there.

Felt for him when he was subbed, he looked a bit forlorn. Can barely recall a single decent cross which he might have converted. I'm prepared to give Miggy a pass as he does so much other good work, but Murphy, fuck me.
