Wallsendmag Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 11 hours ago, The Butcher said: Not sure anyone would pay for a soon to be 32 year old striker with a shocking injury history. Unless Saudi want him he's staying here until his contract ends. He's still a very good striker when he's fit. One of the best English strikers out there. He was superb last season and deservedly was selected for the England World Cup squad. There'd be teams out there willing to take a punt on him no doubt about it.

mighty__mag Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 He's still on course to play a similar amount of games as last season should he not miss too many more games, and he did manage 18 goals. Hopefully he has a great second half to the season like he did in our previous season, where he banged in something like 11 goals after the cup final defeat. 8 goals and 1 assist in a calender month.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Would it look at all suspicious if one of the Saudi clubs gave us £100M for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I've got an uncomfortable feeling that with Wison being out for at least two weeks, Sunderland might fancy their chances more on Saturday if they cripple Isak early on in the game. This is the problem with having injury prone strikers, if one goes down then you are left hoping to God that the other one doesn't get crocked in the meantime.

Menace Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Even with them crippling Isak we still have enough to put them out of their misery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 According to Capology (I know) he's "only" on 46k a week, thought it would have been more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I've seen better Newcastle teams than this look absolutely toothless without a genuine striker up top even though the player there was Rob Lee. Albeit Blackburn a year before they won the league and Monaco in 97 (Henry et al) were of a slightly higher standard than the current mackems Edited January 4 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Shame he wasn’t involved yesterday he would’ve loved that. Absolutely fantastic player when fit but sadly his injuries mean we’ll see less and less of him. Needs replacing as the second main striker behind Isak and should be used as a 3rd option for 15-20 cameos in league games and for cup and Europe assuming we get a European spot. I hope he stays but I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes in the summer with someone coming in and offering him a longer contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prob have run to them even if he scored at our end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Is it right that his contract is up at the end of next season? If so, that feels like a natural place for us to part ways. Bring in a third striker this summer, an up and coming raw talent, then go big on a top striker in summer 2025. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the top striker already, I think that’s the tricky thing facing our recruitment team. Might be better to keep Wilson and rotate him with a younger option as backups to Isak.

Yeah, that does look ‘off’ tbf. At best I think that might be what he was on when we first signed him, but he’s signed a new deal since then which I’m fairly sure would have been a rise.

Agreed - he’s still in 7 in 14 for this season whilst sharing apps with isak, making him the 10th highest goal scorer of the prem this season.

Absolute ludicrous is an overstatement - say we bought another like isak, therefore dropping him to our third choice and an option to come of the bench when bossing games and chasing a goal. I’m ok with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
