villaglint Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Interesting news with Wilson and Hogan, that little loan spell at the scum may have done us a lot of favours because he was basically a dead weight before that. I’d be happy with Wilson and Watkins. Surely the big issue with Wilson is the wages though. Don’t see him taking a drop however if we could get him for a decent fee it would be interesting. Not a world beater but he was back up to Kane not too long ago so would improve us for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I'd love calum wilson, I think hes class and I've watched him cause us serious issues. Hes a proven prem goalscorer, something ourselves and many others crave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Sorry, am I getting the feeling a lot of love for Ollie, but not Edouard, Benny or Beundia?? I really can’t look through 50 pages? Edited August 8, 2020 by rayk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a proven prem goalscorer, something ourselves and many others crave. I always think that until I look at his stats... He scored 7 in 35 last year. Wesley got 5 in 20ish and is supposedly a flop... and that was a fairly normal return for Wilson, beyond one good season the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Callum Wilson has scored 41 premier league goals in 106 games worth of premier league football in terms of minutes on the pitch, he's also provided an assist sixteen times in that period as well. There's a reason why he's been linked to the likes of Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd and that's because he's a very good player, him not being as good as usual last season is probably the only thing that might give us a chance of signing him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not the kind of signing that would excite me, nor is it the kind I think makes a lot of sense on its own given his age. But if it's at a reduced price off a down year, and it comes with offloading Hogan for good, it could be a good piece of business. Provided it's not Plans A, B, C, and D.

Tomaszk Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 He's such a sneaky bugger Wilson as well. Loads of sly shoves and pushes. I'd love to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love him here him and Benrahma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Wilson for a swap for hogan and if a few million is a no brainer, season before he was scoring for fun with Fraser, he’ll get a lot more here with the chances we create Edited August 8, 2020 by rbcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Condimentalist Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Wilson would be a disaster. He's only once hit more than 8 in the league, is always injured, and would expect a big pay day. We've been here too many times before.

And he plays for a media darling of a club straight up Southgate’s ally to pick him really, don’t pick the players that are playing well just pick the media darlings! In 4 seasons Wilson has only got to double figures once, not saying he is a bad player but a tad overrated on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 prize money list is interesting reading, looks like we get £106m for finishing 17th in the 19/20 season. For reference, our payment in 2018/19 was apparently £18m. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
