VillaChris Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 How many has Wilson scored for them now? Must be a pretty good ratio considering he missed two months recently. As much as it's a gamble he's worked out well for them and if they really wanted to they could sell him to someone like Watford for 20m so wouldn't lose out in the fee. Read they've activated a clause in Dwight Gayle's deal which means he stays for another three years which is a bit more odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got 12 in 26 appearances (23 starts) but he has been on a bit of a goal drought of late. Most of his goals came at the start of the season, this was only only the second game he’s scored in since Xmas. He’ll probably be happy with his contribution this season, and so will Newcastle but he’s done basically what everybody thought he’d do, score goals and get injured. At 29 he’s not going to get any better or fitter and his resale value is gonna fall off a cliff next summer but he’s been a solid short term signing. I’m glad we went with Watkins, but Wilson is the sort of move we’d have made under previous regimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad we went with Watkins, but Wilson is the sort of move we’d have made under previous regimes. I'd have been more than happy with both and still a bit disappointed it didn't happen. I'm sure Wilson would've been more than capable of coming off our bench and scoring 5-10 goals given how stretched games get late on and he's very good at playing off shoulder of defences. Given we've only got 5 points all season from losing positions we do need a striker in our squad next season capable of being trusted to come off the bench and score a few late goals to get us wins. The fact we all made a big thing of Trez coming on and playing a bit part in the Fulham comeback shows it's a pretty rare thing from us. I'm not sure his value will decline next season that much unless he gets a serious injury. Say West Brom come straight back up, that seems an obvious move for them given there was talk of them trying to sign Troy Deeney last summer who's much poorer than Wilson these days.
