Delphinho123 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I’d quite like Watkins and Wilson provided the fee is ok. They both come in and push each other. Watkins will probably be no.1 but he’ll be well aware he has an experienced international waiting to take his place if he doesn’t perform. If you can get Wilson for 5-10m on decent wages as a second choice striker, it’s a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 It will be interesting to see who we have actually brought in when the transfer window is gently closed. I'm hoping that the reason why it has taken time to sign anyone is as much a result of the ambition that we are showing with our signings as it is the complexity of the deals themselves. Still hopeful on the below... GK, RB, LB, LW, ST (ideally 2). I would love for us to sign another midfielder as well, but can't see it happening if we brought in a LW as Grealish would drop in to CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 We aren’t signing Wilson. I’m confident of that. It’s just drama for the Newcastle fans on Sky Sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teale's 'tache Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think Wilson is a good player, it's just the money involved with his age and injury record doesn't stack up to me, especially considering the transfer strategy we have set out. I'd not turn my nose up to him, but you'd have to question if the strategy is being altered should we sign him and if so why? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the second striker would be on 110k per week which is his wage at Bmouth, I would assume he wouldn’t come for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it would fly directly in the face of the stated transfer policy. It's just lazy press spouting their usual rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson would be probably on double the salary of Hogaand we would have to throw money down as well for a guy who has 1 double figure Premier League season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have reasonable knowledge of Wilson being pretty competitive FPL manager for several seasons and he's a junk signing. Maybe decent 3-4 seasons ago not anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why is he is better than all our strikers. He is still 28 as well. Be a very good signing. Having him wes and watkins as striking ootions is certainly better than davis samatta and wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in terms of how good the player is he'd be a huge improvement on what we have and is the best striker we've been linked with (I caveat that with I haven't seen an awful lot of Watkins so admit he MAY have the potential to be better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
