Doctor Zaius Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Out for 6 weeks according to Baldwards. You knew as soon as Isak was injured, Wilson wouldnt stay fit. Hamstring injury basically every season at a minimum. What can you do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Would be a great option as a back up striker but it’s not really working with Isak having injuries as well. We need another striker and realistically, Wilson’s race is almost run given his age and injuries so we’ll need two strikers in the next year Id say. One as a proper back up to Isak and another as a development project Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Gonna have to recall Minteh probably as well as the young Aussie lad from Volendam. Gonna be either Big Jo or Gordon at centre-forward until Isak/Wilson is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Unreal……this is why we definitely need to bring in another striker. We’ll have to use Willock up too. Joelinton, all thought you’d expect him to fit the bill for being a target man, didn’t do too well. We’ll just have to depend on a runner, Gordon or Willock and getting those through balls to them.

Nucasol Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hamstrings as reliable as Michael Owen’s. I feel for him but this type of fitness record probably explains why no team with European football has bitten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The warm weather in saudi will help his struggling body. £40m you say, for our top goal-scorer? Make it £45m please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Need a replacement in the summer for him. Cannot see us getting top 5 really now, too many injuries. Edited November 15, 2023 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I actually think he would’ve been high on the list for replacement when the new regime came in. He just managed to postpone it by finding the best form and fitness of his career. Hoped against hope but really he was never going to last as a regular starter.

gbandit Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Realistically we’re fucked in the run up to new year but Wilson’s body will keep breaking down periodically next year so I can see us doing unprecedented loan work in January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal record is absolutely superb but he's incredibly unreliable in terms of availability, and when the other main striking option is also made of wet tissue paper you have to seriously question the situation as it doesn't feel long term tenable. I really hope Wilson can get to second behind Shearer this season and ideally put up 50 league goals for us, but we do need to look at the striking roster and consider his position come the summer.

gbandit Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I’d personally keep him but under the understanding that he has no hope of playing more than one in three games or something or that he would only come on from 60 mins. However, I’d replace him in the sense of getting a second striker who is reliably fit even if they don’t have the same output as Callum just yet. I can’t see why he’d ever want to leave as his body won’t ever allow him to play more than games than he does for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
