Id keep him he knows where the net is.but still bring in a young striker.use wilson 60 mins onwards
Id keep him as 3rd striker
If we receive a £15m+ bid for him during the upcoming transfer window, it would make sense to accept the bid. He's in his 30's and his injury record is bad. Then invest in a young striker (Sesko for example), then buy an olderish striker with Premier League experience (Solanke). This would give us 3 strikers for next season. Sesko has a release clause of £45m and Solanke would cost £20mish.
Mint as always mate. Who realistically replaces Wilson? Like you said, he's still a proven goalscorer in the prem. Not an easy (or cheap) person to replace
He'll always score goals when he plays but it's how often he plays that is the concern. At 32 he will most likely pick up more injuries next season. If we can get decent money for him I would take it + it frees up his salary.
If Isak scores 3 more goals this season he makes it into top 10 of all time Newcastle PL goal scorers. If he has another season like this next year he’ll be second after Shearer.
I love Wilson but the one thing not being said here is that he wants to go. He doesnt want to be 2nd to Isak so I think we'll sell and wish him well.
Tammy Abrahams might be an option. And he's interested apparently.
Sell Wilson. He needs a change and he always gets injured working under Eddie Howe.
Totally agree with u on the Wilson being a proper deadly striker. If he’s got the service in, he RARELY misses putting it in the back of the net.. his finishing still is near flawless.. I’ll never forget that clip off the outside of the foot nearly over his shoulder to the far back corner against Forest last season… that was fucking MAGIC
missing those fun matchday vlogs mate
Very good points on why to keep, but I think all those reasons are why you sell him. He is our only asset that is remotely expendable and has value. Miggy could maybe raise us 20M, but after his season and injuries i think he is significantly less than if we had sold in one of the previous two windows. Longstaff again, I don't think his recent vain of form is his true level so selling him now would also be selling at his worst value. Only person I see us possibly getting decent return for is Wilson, Dubz, and maybe even Krafthy. Again if this is a non-PSR world i'd want to sell none of them, but we got to start making shrewd sells, even if it might mean a short term dip. One last point sure not all young strikers work, but some do and like Alvarez. Plus I think Callum's goal scoring can be replaced by committee, eg. more Barnes next season, Minteh or possibly new winger signed and gordon. Look at Kane being sold everyone thought they'd miss his goals, but the team around gelled better and frankly don't miss his goals. Great content as always 🙂
I totally agree with you. Even more now after listening to your reasonings 🙂
No way at all we keep Wilson. His and Eddie’s interviews recently tell us that as well
Keep him. Especially if we are in Europe
