Callum Wilson

I can see Eddie wanting to keep him but it depends what Wilson wants to do. He’d have to be willing to take a wage drop and have less time on the contract than he may get elsewhere. I’m sure Wilson will still back himself to do it at Prem level but at some point there’s got to come an acceptance that we’re moving on. But we absolutely cannot under any circumstances go into next season with Callum Wilson as our second choice option up front.

With Isak out for the season, who could blame them?

[Likelylad]

He’s finished at this level man. Would be a poor decision from the club.

I could just about accept the "bringing him on for his experience" narrative if we were closing out a tight game, where Osula's wildcard nature probably wouldn't make sense. But the last three times he's come on, we've been 3 goals up, 5 goals up and 3 goals down. You could have stuck a lad from a Sunday morning team on who'd won a raffle and it wouldn't have affected the outcome. Therefore, I don't understand why you wouldn't use those scenarios to give Osula a taste of it and to think of the future.

I never want to see Wilson play for us ever again, but…Eddie seems to prioritise a players ability to fit in to the system over everything else. If he doesn’t trust them to play their part in all phases, they’re not getting on. I think he successfully uses it to get players to buy in.

Why would howe want to keep him? 

Out of loyalty seems to be the only reason. We ain't bournemouth we want to challenge and he doesn't cut the mustard anymore.

Don’t know. He gave an injury prone Dummett a new contract. Probably more for the behind the scenes stuff and being a mentor to Osula and Isak.

I’m relaxed. If he goes it’s time. If he doesn’t, Howe sees something, and all those writing him off with such certainty are wrong, just like they were with Gordon, Murphy, Barnes etc.

[janpawel]

Extend for a year and sell to Saudi / another team? 

 

Thats exactly what I am hoping we do with Dubravka

Not the same. Their legs, pace and body hadn’t given up on them. 
 

I almost feel sorry for the multi millionaire good looking fucker watching him now. 

[gazza ladra]

I think the rationale was the hope that he could play his way into form.

 

Obvious now that isn't going to happen.  Late in a game he can take the ball into the corner when needed. 

 

Would think that Gordon is our best option if we need a goal.

If there’s no solid basis to ‘write off’ a perennially injured 33-year-old goalscorer who hasn’t scored a league goal in a year, I’m not sure there’s ever grounds to doubt anyone ever. Especially in the context of the club we’re trying to be now.
 

Even if his legs come back (not likely in the real world) we need better and far more reliable than Callum Wilson.

[Nucasol]

Strip him down for parts.

In a daft way I think a new Wilson deal must mean Howe has huge faith in Osula, no new striker to bring in and more cash to spend on RW CD and GK

Can't go into a season in Europe with Isak, Wilson, and Osula.

 

Isak goes down and the club are done in Europe, the cups, and the league. Just foolish. Don't think Howe is a fool.

 

 

[Sibierski]

Wilson stays, we must be signing a young(ish) 2nd choice striker so they have some experience to work with on training ground.

Callum Wilson's agent. Or a Twatter bullshitter

 

Must be one of the two

Is that not Osula though?

Come on, you can’t be serious about us playing a season in Europe with just Osula and Callum bloody Wilson backing up Isak.

I never said that? I was just disputing the idea of signing another young backup striker to learn on the training ground. I'd rather someone more proven came in.

[TBG]

Targett. Kelly. Wilson.

 

Mitchell must resign. 

[kingxlnc]

Isak David Osula on loan and Wilson would be a solid group of strikers that would achieve everything we need.

[southernmag]

I watched him closely when he came on against Ipswich and thought he looked quite quick and mobile. I'd still like him sold but didn't think he looked that slow tbh. Maybe I need my eyes checked.
