SEMTEX Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I mean what difference does it make to us as fans like? As long as we’re not assuming he’s going to play. Maybe he’s like a nice mascot to have around and thus worth paying a few quid to. Either way we need a viable second choice striker, whether that’s Osula or someone else idk.

KaKa Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If they're happy with the progress Osula is making, and truly envisage him as a viable option next season then could see this happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCW1983 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I put in here a couple of weeks ago, Wilson and his agent are confident and expecting a new 1 year deal. his plan is 1 year here, 1 somewhere else then retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely crucial is strong - he was performing well with Barnes so if we can get them both fit and Howe trusts change a little more then yeah we may get to rest Gordon and Isak better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I must say i liked his performance, he played a big part in creating the first "goal" and then showed some great instincts and athleticism to score the second, glad he got through alright.

ponsaelius Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I don't agree with it but I can see why we'd be contemplating a new contract tbh. Replacing him is not difficult given he's contributing nothing when injured - but it is is going to cost a fair chunk of money to sign a new striker. Even Osula who is extremely raw at this level cost us £15 million FFS. We're going to get this situation with a lot of squad players where they are past the point we can cash in on them, but we don't have the budget to replace them, so they keep getting new deals. The Paul Dummett zone. The focus is going to be on RW, CB, GK this summer. Plus possibly a new midfielder. Finding the funds for a rotation CF when we let the current one walk for free might be tricky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Selling your top shagger is a rookies mistake and thankfully one Howe is wise too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If you have a RW who can genuinely play through the middle, and Osula kicks on as a genuine option, you can afford to carry him a bit more as an old head in and around the place. Particularly if the wages reflect that. The problem at the moment is him being unavailable leaves us painfully so short in striking areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 We’d need to offer a hefty wage cut if we’re thinking of offering a 1 year extension. He will get injured again and if he doesn’t well he’s had enough paid time off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
