He and his family love it up here, and his kids are settled in school etc and he has no intentions of leaving. For us to sell him, it would need to be an amazing offer, which, lets face it, isn't coming! From the press he wanted to go last January to Madrid if I remember correctly. We maybe should have parted ways then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted Saturday at 07:30 Share Posted Saturday at 07:30 I do not believe a second that there was anyone willing to buy him. He is finished as a top level striker, at least if he doesn't miraculously get over that injury problem. WIth that age and injury record and decent wage, no one is going to touch him.

ExiledGeordie Posted Saturday at 08:57 Share Posted Saturday at 08:57 (edited) Is he out of contract after this season? Surely we’ll let him go and not renew? Just cannot be relied on to stay fit sadly. Edited Saturday at 08:57 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted Saturday at 09:04 Share Posted Saturday at 09:04 Shoulda of sold him last jan? That's one problem with Eddie he wants to keep everyone yet we nearly sold Gordon who should be here for the next 6 years minimum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted Saturday at 09:24 Share Posted Saturday at 09:24 I’m willing to bet he’ll still score goals when fit. The problem is that those fit periods are becoming shorter and shorter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body is made of candy floss, cobwebs and wheetabix and always has been. We should've cashed in on him in January while there was still value to be taken, same with Trippier. Exactly this....he could have the skill of Messi, and the power of Ronaldo, but if he can't get on the pitch what's the point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a decent premiership striker. for the record, he’s not gonna play many games this season Yeah, world class is a stretch cause that would mean someone like Haaland or Mbappé. For us to replace a goalscorer like that though, could cost us north of £50M cause Solanke cost £65M and he only had one season where he scored a goal every two games. Wilson has done that for the past four seasons with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson has done that for the past four seasons with us. There's not many strikers available who will get 20 plus a season now. We already have one of them. Getting another will involve spending 50m plus, or bringing through a star from youth or reserves. We're not currently in a position for either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
