Dr Jinx Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Getting any sort of decent fee for Wilson would be immense business. 15-20m would do nicely. Cant rely on him anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Don't really know much about him, but he looks like he fits the profile of a second choice striker of a club between 4-7th in the league. Worth a punt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 34 minutes ago, r0cafella said: It’s such a short term move and a bad use of money. He’s 27 having one hot streak in a league renowned for poor defending. We have way less games lumped together in the second half of the season. Are you convinced we can get our money back for him if he comes in and flops? If so go for it. I get the doubts about the league but 27 is hardly old, we signed Wilson when he was 29 If we think he can do a job in this league then it's a no brainer for me, even if we get 2-3 seasons out of him The reality is Wilson will not stay fit for the remainder of the season and so far we are seeing the increased workload on Isak doesn't end up well either, so another striker would be more than welcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 How many "second strikers" have Spurs had when they had Kane? They seemed to have one a year. We will likely see that if Isak is our main forward long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know if this guy can perform in the PL, and it’s a short term signing when we should be thinking more long term. Isak is the main man and we should be locking him down and playing him up front not shunting him wide to accommodate others. As we will be playing one game a week until the summer, we don’t need to spend money on another CF when we have two already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I would be looking to sell Wilson for 20 mill in the Summer. Yes hell be 32, but he guarantees goals when hes fit. All teams outside the Top 8 would be keen to have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon any lower half club would be on him straight away - or a newly promoted club with money to spend. He’s an excellent centre forward - when fit.

timeEd32 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Second to only Haaland in goals per 90 in the last 1.5 seasons and responsible for 25 league goals despite the time missed. I think frustration is clouding how difficult that could be to replace. I’d much sooner want Wilson to see out his career here than sell him for some nominal amount. Get a young striker here to ensure he has adequate rest and he’s the best 2nd/3rd option in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need to get someone in either way, as both our centre forwards are injury-prone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if your squad planning properly you want to extract some form of FFP leeway from as many players as possible. Given Wilson is 32 and injury prone you have to consider it an option of someone will give you a decent fee. I’m not sure it’s logical to take an injury prone 32 yo as a back up at this point, especially if he’s someone you can get a decent fee for. 12 minutes ago, SAK said: Championship players go for the fee being quoted, don’t think it’s a huge risk.

I can't believe how many people are game for selling him. Yes the injuries are a pain, but you can't replace someone like him just like that.. especially if we've got FFP hanging over us.

It's more that to me, it really looks like his legs have gone now. To the point that when he starts a game, he seems incapable of doing his usual pressing, rarely sprints and isn't as much of a factor back to goal or running in behind. I thought he was solid enough at both, prior to this season. Off the bench for 20-30 minutes. I have no doubt he is still ruthless and a great option to give someone a rest or if we need a goal. But with Isak's injury problems. It would be hard to guarantee that and I'm not sure if he would accept just being a super sub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianSwan Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Fulham have carved out a niche for taking on old, but experienced players past their prime on frees (or cheap) who they can squeeze the last drops out of. It's clever business, providing the wages aren't ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
