GeordieDazzler Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Was saying earlier he makes a lot of the other attackers in the team better when he plays, plus he’s a constant goal threat. Think he’s got one eye on a coaching career too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying in 2 years time, when he's 32, he might not be first choice, in fact it's a certainty given his injury problems but even in that capacity he's a great option.

christ Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 No brainer. Guarantees goals when he’s on the pitch. Now we just need to sort out a better chant for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Personally, I think this is great. I imagine that he's been told he's going to have some serious competition in the coming years but he's still up for the fight. It's up the club to make sure we're not as reliant on him during this period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Basically a pay rise rather than a genuine extension in contract length. I'm fine with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Worth it just for the half season of games he plays tbh. Incredibly consistent and makes us much more coherent going forward, he's the complete package as a striker imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Great news. Even if his minutes decrease in coming seasons he’ll still be huge for the team and dressing room. I hope he stays fit and gets a solid run in the team over the next couple months. Be great seeing us play Man U, Spurs etc with a proper first 11.

Scoot Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I'm happy with this news. I know he's injured a lot but as long as we have players who can play there to cover for him which we have now (Isak), it isn't a big problem anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I love this news. He’s easily one of our leaders/captains and with the pay rise and added responsibility of bringing through Isak, Kuol and of course still being a top striker for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 great news. his family were coming up over the summer to move here but i think there were a few issues finding somewhere they liked. at least with a long term contract, they should all be settled knowing he's gonna be here hopefully another 2-3 years.

Came in here to post this. I never realised it until we signed him. Lovely smile, handsome chap, kind face. Absolute shithouse of the highest order. That body check on, I think it was Ream? Knew exactly what he was doing. Always chirping and chipping away at defenders. Decided to get stuck into the Fulham fans a bit with his celebration, even Which seems harsh, they are like polite Rugby Union fans, probably even more tame, really. Trippier was having none of it and seemed to be pushing him away. Not sure who we rely on more out of Bruno, ASM and Wilson. But my God, the way we attack is totally different and so much better with Wilson leading the line. He regularly seems to be marshalling the wide men and demanding the ball off the midfielders. Just a great 9. Really hope he can last at least get 10-15 games in a row without getting crocked again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Have thought about being ruthless at times regarding the amout of times he's injured, but then there's not many as good or better. Another top class striker and half a season of Wilson will feel more squady than a glaring miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
