Klaus Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Best since Remy or Ba? I think Ba was better but Remy when fit was great for us. Remy could create goals for himself out of nothing. Wilson is a good finisher, but needs the supply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Remy was Henry Lite for 5 months here. Absolutely brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Wilson has surprised me, for sure, he's clearly brilliant at getting on the end of chances. I still prefer Rondon, even if he wasn't as much of a goalscorer. Such a polished target man. But I'd love Wilson in another Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Best since Remy or Ba? I think Ba was better but Remy when fit was great for us. Rondon for me, though I think Wilson (evidently) has more goals in him, I enjoyed how Rondon enabled us to play, really powerful but also stylish player. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how good Wilson's work is outside the box. He holds the ball up surprisingly well given he's not the biggest.

Lush Vlad Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Looks to have put on a bit of bulk since his earlier Bournemouth days? Either that, or the shirts are more flattering here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Rondon against Bournemouth at home in the 2-1 win. Unplayable. In the win against Man City too, remember thinking through the first half, even after we went 0-1 down in 25 seconds, that their defence was struggling to handle/deal with him.

samptime29 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just a very likeable player who delivers on the pitch. Big fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Didn't Rondon give Liverpool a proper rough time. Tossed them around with his hold up play, maybe even scored or set something up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Wonder if Rondon & Wilson would work well together when we set up like we did yesterday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 His general play is up there with some of the best centre forwards I've ever seen play for us. His movement alone offers something that Joelinton was never able to provide last season. He's our most important player by some distance, including ASM.

Lush Vlad Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He’s just likeable, really. Seems a decent bloke, he’s English (not a massive thing, but we rarely seem to have England Internationals). He works hard with his defending from the front and hold up play. He’s scoring goals off shit service and limited chances. Plus, to top it all off, he is a handsome fucker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Rondon against Bournemouth at home in the 2-1 win. Unplayable. His performance in the 3-2 comeback v Everton too. Superb player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think Wilson is a nice blend of Remy, Ba and Rondon. Hes a good at everything, a nice all rounder but I doubt he has the quality to reach the numbers of a Ba/Remy. The fact he keeps scoring for us is astonishing to be Frank, as we give him fuck all to go on. Certainly suggests his attitude and concentration are spot on.

Lush Vlad Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I don’t see him having the range of finishing of Ba. But from what I have seen so far, with his back to goal, he’s just as good as him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I have seen so far, with his back to goal, he’s just as good as him. He is strong with his back to goal. I'm most impressed with his concentration. He gets fuck all service but when he does get a chance: he is alert and ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 All of his goals have came from near the 6 yard box or the pen spot. You can't compare his finishing to Ba or Remy imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 All of his goals have came from near the 6 yard box or the pen spot. You can't compare his finishing to Ba or Remy imo. Yeah, they would get an extra half dozen goals from carving out their own chances. Wilson doesnt seem to have that in his locker, neither did Rondon TBF.

Stottie Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Honestly think Man City made a huge error not signing him Wilson is banging them in when fed on scraps. He should score fucking double if at City. To get double, all he'd have to do would be to equal his second half tally with us in the first half of games. He's never scored for us before half time. That's where defending from the first whistle gets you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 This guy will be the sole reason we don't see the Championship - providing he stays fit. Cracking signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He's a proper striker, doesn't need many chances to score and really gives defenders a tough time, his attitude on and off the pitch is spot on as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 His conversion rate must be ridiculous for us. Would love to see an exact statistic. Pretty sure that was his first shot last night in the 89th minute. Which showed up the difference in quality between him and joelinton even more. Joe had loads of chances before and scuffed every single one. Wilson scores with his first one. Feels like he would be close to 100% with shots on target and goals scored this season.
