Callum Wilson: back in full training

[Guest reefatoon]

Welcome to the absolute shit show you fucking crazy lunatic.

[Collage]

Hard to admit but yeah, it’s a good signing. I think he’ll do well for us.

Good luck to him, hope he's a massive success

[Dokko]

I’d have been happy with this signing with Staveley in charge. Same goes for Lewis and Fraser. 3 real quality players ready for the league.

 

If we could do that every summer it would be enough for me.

[RobS]

Apparently on 100k a week - 4 year contract, ouch

[relámpago blanco]

Why/how are we spending money

[toon25]

Ashley will add it on to the price of the club when he sells.

 

This just shows that he’s desperate to get rid imo. He’s allowing players to come in that will keep NUFC in the PL and thus guarantee his £300/350 million price

[AyeDubbleYoo]

If there was any point in the club, this would be decent news.

[TRon]

When you really look at that Bournemouth team, outside of Fraser who did they really have that created chances?

 

They didn't have anyone in central midfield that could match what Shelvey can pull out of the bag. And the likes of Stanislas and King are runners that tend to have their heads down.

 

ASM, Fraser, Miggy and Shelvey should create a lot more opportunities for Wilson really. If he ends up with less than double figures it would be quite disappointing.

 

Especially since he takes pens as well. Think it seems a solid signing though, he's not going to set the world alight, but he seems to have decent movement and can finish, even if he's not the quickest.

[Pilko]

If he'd had the minutes Joelinton did last season he'd have got to 10 IMO. He'd have four or five just following in other people's shots like actual real strikers apparently do.

I think there's potential for him to have a really good season, despite Bruce's limitations, as I honestly don't think he's had a team with as many good attacking players around him. We should be able to take advantage of the weaker teams in the division to greater effect. Think we'll still look iffy against the better teams though.

 

There's a chance he does a Demba Ba. Similar knees and all!

[The College Dropout]

I guess.

 

2 ACLs already in his career, 4 year deal. Risky but i guess when you're in our position you have to take these moves

[KaKa]

Yup

[David Edgar]

How long until he is crocked?

[Robster]

Even the current version of NUFC is an attractive proposition to players. Fucks me right off to think how much better we could be.

[jdckelly]

I guess.

yeah the two acls is a concern but he has played 35 and 30 premier league games respectively in the last two seasons

Players don’t really care about ownership or even management a lot of the time.

I would say it's more how it effects him long term than being injury prone, bournemouth fans said it looked like he lost some pace last season.

[GWN]

Hard to give a fuck 

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

So refreshing to hear someone come in and say he’d be disgusted with himself if he didn’t reach double figures with goals.

 

Has any forward scored more than 20 goals in a season here since Shearer? (Dwight Gayle in the champo doesn’t count)

 

Nope - none at all. Not in the top division, anyway.

 

To be fair, scoring 20 goals a season in the Premier League is usually only achieved by 2 or 3 players each season. It's also usually only achieved by strikers who play for the top 2 or 3 teams.

Seems an affable bloke and a good pro. Hope for him he can make the most of what will be the biggest opportunity of his career. Plenty to motivate him too with the Euros being pushed back.

Yeah, I hope he doesnt look on here.  We should be excited by his signing as he seems a good player.

I think under previous circumstances people would be, I know I would but I can't be arsed to muster up too much energy one way or the other albeit I wish him well. What little was remaining from last season was watered down by Bruce and then extinguished with the takeover.

 

I think all 3 signings are good & sensible additions that should add something different. It's just frustrating they once again change their tune because they have a patsy in the dugout - it makes no sense other than spite.

[Yorkie]

I don't really rate the signing tbh because I think he's had bad fitness problems which are bound to rear their heads again, he doesn't score that many goals and we need a striker who is more of a target man... but I do agree that, in spite of all that, it's the sort of thing that, in a normal case, would give me a surge of excitement ahead of the new season. He might do really well cos he is a talented player.

 

I just wish things were substantially different; I really don't know if I can ever muster any real enthusiasm for the club. I tried a little bit after Project Restart and even tried to soften on Bruce a bit but, just, nah.
