He would take some of the burden from Wesley, Wilson would come straight in to our first xi and improve us in my opinion, although there would be a lot of competition for him He's their top scorer so far, only 27 years old too. Bournemouth wouldn't sell him to us unless for big money and he wouldn't want to come us anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s from Coventry originally, so it would be his home, he’s a natural goalscorer. It would be like us signing Darren Bent all over again, except he’d keep us up and then go on to bigger things with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get quite as many goals but I think he does more overall towards contributing to their game plus Wilson takes penalties so his goal tally is a little inflated.

There is always a premium for English players. The markets have gone up the last few years. Look at the striker transfers this summer as an example. Wilson would be prices out of any move at this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Wilson has only scored one more goal than Wesley having played more minutes, and also has the benefit of knowing this country, the league, and having played with his teammates for a few seasons now. He's was being linked with a £50m move to Chelsea in the last January transfer window, the guardian reported that Bournemouth wanted £75m, and they'd probably be less inclined to sell him to us bearing in mind we're potentially relegation rivals.

VillaChris Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Think Wilson would only leave them for a CL club, there was talk of Chelsea last January. Think he'd be a really good signing for Leicester. Josh King actually might be a more realistic option. He's improved a lot since he first joined them. Was all pace but has nice all round game now and improved his scoring record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
