Callum Wilson set to be out for around 8 weeks with new hamstring injury (Howe)

[TheBrownBottle]

I would have though other positions will be prioritised next summer - we’d use up most of our budget buying a player to replace Wilson

[Kanj]

He’s retiring with us imho

whole article about most clinical strikers and they don’t mention Wilson once despite being the second best in the PL in terms of XG and Goals

[Superior Acuña]

Level with Sir Les

[The Butcher]

One of the best pels you'll ever see.

[Yorkie]

What a fucking brilliant performance that was. Absolutely fantastic. Everything you ask for from a target man.

[nufc123]

Hes so good at this scruffy stuff. Big and great decision by Howe to start him

[nemtizz]

Most underrated striker in the league. 

[TRon]

What a horrible bastard he is to play against. Then he'll put you away like a sniper if you show him a sniff.

[Aiston]

Took the penalty well and played well in the last 20.

 

He did nothing (like the rest) for an hour or so though.

[Newcastle Fan]

What a character he is, always out to prove people wrong when he's doubted and was a nightmare to play against today.

[SiLvOR]

Love him 

[Joelinton7]

Would score goals in his sleep

[Holloway]

He's very much our number 9, he just steps up. What I do like about him is that he never goes overboard about the club,the fanbase. He's cool as fuck .

[Pilko]

Some of his touches late on in the game, from balls that were kicked high into the sky, were absolutely world class. Really felt like he dragged us over the line once he bagged the pen.

 

Really hope he gets 2nd top scorer behind Shearer.

[AJ9]

He’s the man. Isak is the better player, but this guy is a warrior.

[Kid Icarus]

Forget all that. Have I ever mentioned, unprompted and for no apparent reason, that he's better than Demba Ba?

[Myleftboot]

Who starts on Tuesday?

Isak. No way can I see Wilson getting 100 minutes today and starting Tuesday.

Who cares? We might be short in some other areas but we really do have two top class strikers on call, and not many clubs can say that.

Where do you guys rank Wilson in our Premier League list of strikers? 

 

I'm too young to remember Ferdinand or Cole but I think he's second behind Shearer for me.

Not much in the way of competition. Carroll, Cisse, and Ba were all great at their peak but none of them stayed great/stayed with us for particularly long.

I’m also too young to remember Ferdinand or Cole. But neither were productive with us for as long as Wilson has been.

He's definitely behind those two, but after those 3 it's up for debate.

[Yorkie]

Can't believe it's taken us this long to have this debate!

 

Isak is the most talented since Shearer but it's basically impossible at this point to claim anyone else has contributed more than Wilson. The guy has been incredibly dependable; that spell last season was (thankfully) an aberration.
