TRon Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I wonder if he's one of those who we would try to keep when it comes to contract renewal time? He's a bit of a hero for me, but the absence through injuries for half the season is starting to get a bit depressing. I think we'll buy a new striker in the summer regardless, I suppose it just depends if Wilson is one of Howe's blue chip players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I think Wilson and Wood will be 3rd and 4th choice strikers next year. Two new strikers in and Gayle let go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll still be one of our top players, we just won't be so reliant on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I reckon we’ll sign one new “big money” striker and an up and coming player (Ekitike etc). Wilson will still very much be a first team player and Wood will be a squad option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not sure we can afford to buy only one new striker. Wilson gets injured to often to be relied upon for an entire season. Definitely agree with the other post that we need 2 new strikers, one big signing and a youngster (18-21yrs old). If Howe decides to play 2 up top then the 4 strikers will all get plenty of game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the part I was disagreeing with. Expand Right I understand, so you're saying when we bring in another main striker, he and Wilson would then both become first choice. That then leaves the new youngster and Wood as bench options. Only works ofcourse if we play 2 up top but it's definitely possible. Also all depends on form and injury etc. I do think Wilson would benefit from not being the only striker, in terms of not being over worked and therfore more prone to injury.

Guest HTT II Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I like Wilson, he’s a very capable goalscorer when fit, but we can do much better than him now and should look to do so in the summer, which I think we will.

Ikon Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Get a 1st choice striker plus a player that can play wide forward as well as centrally. Then we have three plus wood. Because we need at least one wide player anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That would suggest Wilson getting sold. I don't think that's going to happen, I think we'll buy a top striker to compete with Wilson, and maybe a younger one for the future. Depends how highly Howe thinks of Wilson I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
