TheBrownBottle Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 9 hours ago, 54 said: He mentioned he wants to become Newcastle's 2nd highest top scorer behind Shearer, he needs 8 to do that, so odds are he'll manage it. He also mentioned he wants to get in the Premier League 100 club, he's currently scored 81 Premier League goals. Do we think he scores the 19 needed by the time his contract is up in two seasons time? Sorry to be a pedant, but 2nd highest PL scorer - which is still the weirdest record going to me. Milburn is obviously no. 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this myself, but he seems happy and settled here. Also has a very good chance of getting 2nd in our top Prem goalscorer list. Would love for him to retire here and get in the coaching set-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I would have though other positions will be prioritised next summer - we’d use up most of our budget buying a player to replace Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 He's very much our number 9, he just steps up. What I do like about him is that he never goes overboard about the club,the fanbase. He's cool as fuck . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Some of his touches late on in the game, from balls that were kicked high into the sky, were absolutely world class. Really felt like he dragged us over the line once he bagged the pen. Really hope he gets 2nd top scorer behind Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Where do you guys rank Wilson in our Premier League list of strikers? I'm too young to remember Ferdinand or Cole but I think he's second behind Shearer for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young to remember Ferdinand or Cole but I think he's second behind Shearer for me. Not much in the way of competition. Carroll, Cisse, and Ba were all great at their peak but none of them stayed great/stayed with us for particularly long. I’m also too young to remember Ferdinand or Cole. But neither were productive with us for as long as Wilson has been. Edited September 16, 2023 by oldtype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
