Kid Icarus Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 12 goals for a club owned by Mike Ashley, a team managed by Steve Bruce, and with an injury record that meant he only played 28 games. You have my permission to go crazy without restriction. Best striker of the Ashley era. Edited April 3 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 He's a million miles from the player we signed. Injuries have took their toll - not PL player anymore sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an unselfish player too. Not for me, Geoff. Preferred Remy over Ba as well personally, but both also played in better teams and (somehow) under better managers than Wilson did pre-Howe. Being almost 1 in 2 under Bruce and in that team is impressive. All good players though and I do think it's between those 3 for who was best.

Let’s not go overboard, 33% of the goals were penalties in 20-21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hard to imagine now that this guy was part of the last England World Cup squad, also had an assist if I remember correctly. Unfortunately past it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly Ivan Toney like and his other seasons speak for themselves. Even then, of those 28 appearances, 5 of them were him coming back from injury and only playing half an hour, his ratio works out as 0.5 per 90 that season, under Steve Bruce. Stats aside I just think he was a much better player personally. Edited April 3 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 On 03/04/2025 at 12:04, Unbelievable said: Considering the fact Callum is still ahead of Osula in the pecking order with only 9 games left to go, I’m not at all convinced that Eddie is prepared to let him go by the end of the season. Do you still feel this way? Since his sub appearance against Liverpool he barely seems to have had a kick when he's been on the pitch. I'm wondering what Eddie is seeing that would make him think "yeah, he'll do me if we need to give Isak a rest". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no chance that Wilson will be playing for us next season, people need to get a grip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) There's genuinely no point in bringing him on now IMO, unless we think Osula will score a 40-yard own goal or something. Edited April 13 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Wilson contract weighted a bit towards appearances, and we’re being kind with this appearances to boost up his retirement funds after missing 50% of Newcastle games in his career? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he's utterly finished. I'm still having nightmares about that bit in the Cup Final where he tries to run the ball into the corner, weakly loses it and pathetically tries to chase the Liverpool player. It spoilt the whole day for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Obviously only gets minutes through past achievements dare I say it cannot wait for him to be offloaded. So we might get to see young talent flourish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
