The Butcher Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The Athletic reported that he signed a 2-year extension a few months back, did they not? Was that ever confirmed? Hope not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I wonder if he has mentally checked out from the World Cup. Pure guesswork, but being selected for the WC has been the peak of his career and to not get as many minutes as he may have hoped and for the tournament to end early, maybe he’s deflated? Just trying to understand as we know what he’s capable of but we’re not seeing it since the restart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He looks physically different. Weaker and slower, it’s really odd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicfc Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Finished at the top level and Isak looks better off the striker, New number 9 needed for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Would love to know exactly what's wrong with him. Lots of ideas but no certainty. I don't believe it's anything like just relaxing after hitting his world cup target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I'm a massive Wilson fan, and I am reluctant to write him off, but not sure he's getting a new contract unless he hits the net pretty soon. The service wasn't great, but he stil has to show more movement. We looked better when Isak came on if only because he showed for the ball more.

Coffee_Johnny Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I’m all for loyalty and team spirit. But, Isak should have started today and we should have kept Lobby on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too disappointed tbh, he's still a goal scorer, our squad is stronger with him in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I know Ornstein had mentioned that he was going to extend his contract by 2 years to 2026 but not sure we ever got official confirmation Based on since the WC it would be worrying if he has 3 more years left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Reckon he may be off back down South in the summer. If either Bournemouth or Southampton stay up that would be a decent move for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Looks like he’s too heavy on top and carrying a bit too much weight, his pace has disappeared since WC. Edited February 26, 2023 by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'd be no shortage of buyers IF we wanted to sell him.Danny Ings is a great example of what goals are worth in this division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was here about 6 weeks ago, I’ve moved on now to not wanting him to start for the foreseeable future. Have seen todays performance too many times now.

Something is definitely up with Wilson, his pace is non existent and he doesn't seem as strong in the ball. If he wasn't scoring he was always a handful for the opposition's defenders and created time and space for our other attackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Having the old Wilson today could have made a big difference. But he was a waste of a shirt today unfortunately. Not sure what happened but agreed he's physically struggling aswell as form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 In fairness, he got fuck all service today either btw. The amount of hopeful balls launched up to him was insane. We didn't create anything in the way of good opportunities for him from memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Been so poor post World Cup. Like him but he’s not justifying his place in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
