Eventually he will be our back up striker and who better? Yeah and then in 2 years time we can derail this thread about players who should play for nowt at Stoke because they love the beautiful game...

JumpersForGoalposts Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Good striker, good lad, legs made of cheese. Should be our third choice striker as a nice problem to have when he's fit. Cannot be relied on to be fit, despite his best efforts. No fault of his own, but that's just the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 You'd like to think now we are a professional set up we'll find out if he's actually made of glass, been handled wrong or been Unlucky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I agree, he is made of glass. But you have to counter that he is absolute class when fully fit and brings a huge amount to the team. Take a punt on him that he doesn´t get injured this year and then have him as back up when we bring in osihmen/schick next year... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 If Bruce and Howe were data centre managers. Howe will manage Wilson (and others) much better than they have ever been managed at the club, we'll not only see them on the pitch more often but we'll see them much fitter than we ever have.

JumpersForGoalposts Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 There seems to have been a misunderstanding on others parts - not third choice through lack of quality - third choice through lack of availability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 We won’t be able to compare his fitness record under Bruce to what it will be this season, look at his games played under Howe at Bournemouth. Besides a couple freak injuries he was largely a an almost 30+ games a season player, I know age will play a part but Howe and his team will have him far better managed.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) He was doing 700 mile round trips after games and on his days off unser Bruce which has now stopped (or atleast that was the plan). Edited July 7, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike other squad fillers like Almiron, Ritchie, Gayle etc, Wilson actually wins games when he starts. Considering we wouldn't get full value if we sold, he's well worth keeping a hold of in the hope he has a good spell clear of injury. The club have the right idea in bringing in a quality younger striker to give him some competition for the shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The biggest issue is the drop in quality when he's not available. Maxi picks up a fair few injuries and takes a while to get his sharpness back as well. Ekitike would have been great cover for both these positions.

After the injury “well sometimes Lady Luck just isn’t on your side, Callum looked sharp in training and he was probably back a day too soon. We’ll need to look internally as to who made the decision to bring him back a day early”. *Bacon face looks in mirror Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
