Callum Wilson

[The Prophet]

 

[Jack27]

Best for both parties imo 

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

If he was regularly fit he’d want to play. He wouldn’t start for us if so. He’s not fit often enough and is therefore somewhat useless cover. If he does go he’s been a really great player for us.

[sempuki]

Injuries, age and last year of his contract make it an easy decision. Excited to see who we might get.

[r0cafella]

Cmon YAR get the cheque book out and get him bought for an inflated fee, let’s get the mald going early this summer. 

[Ben]

Off to West Ham ?

[Groundhog63]

Eddie doesn't sell British players. Keeps them in the cupboard 

[RobS]

wtf is going on lol

[The Butcher]

 

[gbandit]

Sounds like there’ll be enough interest to generate a decent transfer value in spite of his injuries 

[Ikon]

20m+ please.

@Theregularscalled this months ago. Think he predicted a Saudi move but West Ham interest might give him food for thought. Was £26m being banded about yesterday?

Anything over £20 million and it's a no brainer. £26 million would be fantastic business.

[The Butcher]

Anything north of 20m would be fantastic tbf.

Aye agree, but if 25 million for ASM was fair market value I don’t think over 20 for Wilson would be considered.

If we get 15 million for Wilson we've done well.

And this why it's impossible to fairly value players with the inflated prices paid by the Saudi League. He's been in the England squad and a champions league team for a league wanting to raise it's profile, so there's logically that.

 

But then we'd still have to prove it.

 

West Ham apparently showing interest at those prices might be interesting, then.

Wood went for that much last year, and a half fit Wilson is 10x the player.

[St1pe]

If we can get over £20m and replace him with DCL I think that’s fairly good business. 
 

That said, I love Wilson and he’s been up there with one of the better strikers we’ve had here in my life time. Only Ba comes close post-Shearer. I’ll still be sad to see him go despite the injuries. 

[geordie_b]

Two Saudi clubs interested, one PIF owner the other not.

 

Non PIF club bids 50m, we accept but Wilson fails to agree terms

PIF owner club then matches the 'fair market value' offer and Wilson agrees terms.

 

Nice way round the rules...

Wilson is 32, has had two ACLs and has 1 year left on his contract. His numbers are still excellent, but I can’t see a PL club giving him more than a 2 (maybe 3) year deal, so his book cost would be huge at anything other than a nominal fee.
