[Albion] Callum Wilson

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Villa have turned their attention to him after missing out on Wilson

I wouldn’t have thought we’d be in for him anyway, seems too obvious.

Now out with injury until early APRIL. His injury record is horrific

Newcastle won't wait for him, if he isn't fit and up to speed by the end of the season he could get binned.

Let's not.

Let’s hope wood gets one too

I would get wood if this happened

Very sporting of you.

Worthwhile making the comparison, as we signed Danny Wellbeck just after this thread started. Less wages, no hefty transfer fee.

Callum Wilson 18 goals in 39 appearances
Danny Wellbeck 9 goals in 35 appearances

Who got the better deal?

We did because Toon have been more reliant on Wilson than we have on Welbeck, transfer fees apart

Both are big losses when injured

Callum Wilson 18 goals in 39 appearances
Danny Wellbeck 9 goals in 35 appearances

Who got the better deal?

DW one goal every 213 minutes
Wilson one goal every 181 minutes

Difference? Yes, but quite limited.

If Brighton had the same strategy as Newcastle, "give the ball to this specific guy and hope he stays fit and in form at all times", I think Welbeck or Maupay could have scored similar amounts of goals and that Brighton would have a similar league position as Newcastle.

New contract for him at Newcastle making him in line with the top earners at the club and also the highest paid sick note in the Premier League

Wish it was new contract for Trossard at the weekend.
