I'd flog him, makes commercial sense, no time for sentiment, Gordon could do a bit of filling in and maybe one or two others bearing in mind when he was injured during the season, there's always another one that comes along.

How?

I take it back. If Chelsea or Spurs offer £50m+ I would take it.  

Without a replacement?

I’ve never mentioned £50m but £30m could be achieved.

Right. But you won’t get a suitable replacement for that price.

[TheBrownBottle]

Fucking hell, when does the proper football start?  It can’t come soon enough.

[The College Dropout]

I said £50m because that would be a crazy bid. 
Anythjng realistic is a nonsense to sell him. 

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Callum deserves better than this guff.

[aa5773]

AFAIK : non story - PIF wont sell him anytime soon

[Aiston]

Wait wait wait...who's advocating selling Wilson ? 

 

There aren't many strikers around at all to replace him

That’s not the point of selling under FFP though, is it? We couldn’t replace ASM with the fee we got for him either. As TCD says, we should (and probably would) only consider selling if we get an offer that’s too good to refuse. All that said, this is a non story as I don’t believe anyone credible has linked Spurs to Callum at all, have they?

[Dan Gleebals]

No way we are selling him IMO, whatever the bid - even if there was one.  

If he stays fit this season, which should be easier to achieve as we have a lot more cover in Isak, Gordon, Anderson and even big Joe - so he can be rested more.  He is good for 15-20 this season...  That is virtually impossible to replace without spending £60M+, which was cannot do. 

 

He is a good character, Howe knows him inside out so he is going nowhere.

[The Fountain]

Selling Wilson would bring back bad memories of selling Les Ferdinand.

[Displayname]

I can understand people thinking that its not a bad time to sell him.

 

1 year left of his contract.

Has had a prolonged injury free spell, increasing his transfer value

Opens up room for spending FFP wise

 

Really like him and the attitude he has shown fighting for his place back in the team though, so I rather want him to stay personally.

Of course there is a level of bid where we fold and sell . As good as Wilson is, he’s also 31, quite injury prone and in the final year of his contract. If someone desperate offers what we consider over the odds we will sell and look to replace. The same is true for all our players of course, but for the three reasons mentioned particularly for Wilson (and therefore for a lower fee than we would consider parting with someone like Isak or Bruno).

Pointless having smug conversations about it because he won’t be going….! Maybe next season or so given his age, but he’s definitely got goals in him and along with that we have Isak along with potentially Gordon, Anderson and Willock as back.up. So, not happening. If you’re board, go out for a walk or play on your PS3 or something because Wilson being sold, it just isn’t happening.

C.27-31 used to be considered a centre forward’s prime.

 

Wilson could have another five years left - comfortably - scoring goals in the PL.  He didn’t look like he was slowing down towards the end of last season.  You sell a player like that if you have a replacement ready to go. 

[Unbelievable]

I imagine the club will want to see if they can get him to extend his current deal, which will also help from a FFP perspective.

[Disco]

Even the nerds rate him

Barnes is finished sadly according to that.

Aye, better finisher than Haaland.

[Lish007]

Wilson so underrated really. We won't be selling him until his legs fall off. An excellent finisher and doesn't even rely on pace so hopefully got a few years left in him if he's well managed. He's hungry too and competitive.

Yep.  He only leaves if he wants to leave in the next couple of years I reckon. 

[Viana]

Wilson is a modern day Sir Les it’s obvious.

[madras]

He's looked quicker today than at any point last season.

Think the threat of losing his place to Isak has really put him on his toes. Great news for us as he's still one of the PL's best strikers.
