Rafalove Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Is Wilson really the answer? He scored 7 goals last season. I know that’s better than any of our strikers but only one goal more than Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Is Wilson really the answer? He scored 7 goals last season. I know that’s better than any of our strikers but only one goal more than Shelvey. Bournemouth were awful last season. Two main creative players in fraser and Brooks firing blanks and out for most of the season. His goal return wasn't bad considering what was going on, if he'd been here instead of Joelinton I think you'd be looking closer to double that.

Yorkie Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I really don't think Wilson would be a good signing. Agreed, certainly not at £20million. And he's going to work/bring the best out of Almiron and ASM, is he? Good in the air? Can hold it up well? From the - admittedly not boatloads - of Bournemouth I've seen; er no, I don't think so. Not a clue what Bruce has got in mind tbh and I doubt he does either tbh. Just filling gaps with players he's heard of and are available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal return wasn't bad considering what was going on, if he'd been here instead of Joelinton I think you'd be looking closer to double that. Tend to agree. They also seemed to play 2 upfront a fair bit and so relied too heavily on wing play. In a team with ASM, Miggy and Fraser behind him, as well as Shelvey's ability to pass from deep, it should be much better for him. The thing that scares me with Wilson is his injuries. Especially considering Bruce's reputation for getting everyone injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just look at his career and it seems he had 1 really stand out season, the rest are very very average in a Bournemouth side that were pretty gung ho under Howe in the PL.

KaKa Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Bidding war !! Interesting. I can see us bowing out. Honestly, if we're willing to pay £20 million for Wilson, I wish we'd just offer that for Batshuayi who is available for that amount. He's a far more lethal goal scorer IMO.

Looking on the Bournemouth forums it seems the consensus is that he's absolutely dependent on great service, meanwhile has lost a yard of pace. Three goals since October. Seems ideal, like. Worth pointing out he'll be 29 by the end of the coming season, so fuck all re-sale value. Proof if ever that Ashley couldn't give a shit about the famous old transfer policy.

KaKa Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Wages for Batshuayi will be double that of Wilson, mind Yeah, that's a good point actually. I think Michy is on around £90k and the rumour is Wilson is wanting £75k. I think Batshuayi is available initially on loan with an obligation to buy next summer as his contract runs out then, and so depending on how well he does, maybe the year could be used to negotiate his wages for when he would eventually sign next summer. Depending on how he does they could then better determine what he's worth to Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Central midfield is still an issue that hasn’t been addressed Hendrick through the door and Shortstaff secured; not a hope in heck there'll be any more moves in that department. Looking forward to another season of debating Shelvey's value to the side. A modern favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
