It’s not on, is it? Don’t want to sound precious but he deserves a little bit more respect for his time here.

 

Not saying I’d be delighted if he stayed but I don’t see the need to dunk on the guy.

I agree. I remember in an interview he talked about how people wanted him gone in 2022. "Am I really that bad?" he thought. The next season he responded excellently by scoring 18 goals which got us into the CL. It's okay to want him out, and we should probably move him on now, but point is that players sometimes pick up on posts like that one.

Despite his injuries I think he's generally been brilliant for us over the years, in lean times and in good. 

 

However it seemed to look at the back end of last season that his legs had gone, if that's the case then there really isn't a decision to be made. Could turn out that he just wasn't match sharp though, so I'd trust the club to run the metrics to find out one way or the other.

i think he's a decent third choice striker for us. if he can play 20 games a season i'd be surprised. he's too injury prone now. but i still think he offers something as 3rd choice. a back up for Isak is still absolutely needed.

It’s not that he is a bad option as a backup striker. It’s just due to the extension is a result of a series of fucking shamble transfer failures that makes us sad

He's a terrible option as backup striker, did you not see his performances last season?

Two years ago, he was great and helped seal fourth. His goals to minutes played was up with anyone in the league.

Last year we had PSR issues and injuries all across the squad, so I understand him being kept, even if there was some decline and definitely long absences from Wilson.

He now looks a shadow of himself, it does look like the injuries have finally taken their toll, so it doesn't look like he can contribute at the level we need.
