Callum Wilson

It’s a shame Bournemouth have priced him out, he’s underrated. You’ll be surprised with how good his passing is, and scoring first touch goals. He would be 5x better than what we’ve got.

He's  not underrated, he's rated exactly as he should be and is playing at the level he warrants.  Whenever I've seen him play he looks distinctly average, and I've never seen anything resembling "good" passing.

 
Wonderful player in my opinion. We need the home grown quota filled urgently, so double win.

If the asking price is £50m we should just pay it. That's the going rate for young English talent these days.

Do we really need homegrown players though? 

RLC, Christiensen, Ampadu Barkley, plus 17 foreign players is a 21 man squad. 

That is plenty big enough, especially since sarri has been saying the squad is too big all season. Also surely it would be cheaper and easier to replace Cabellero with an English back up keeper to free up another foreign place. 

We also have loads of players out on loan that could also come in and pad out the squad if necessary, all without paying fortunes for England b players.

I guess (idk) we're looking at Wilson because;

 - Giroud's contract is up at the end of the season
 - Tammy's future is still in the balance? (if the rumour mill is anything to go by)
 - it's looking increasingly likely Morata/Batshuayi are heading out on loan? (again, rumour mill)

I understand why we are looking at a striker. 

Just don't think we are in a position were we have to over pay for a second rate one, because he is home grown.

 
Sorry my bad, I didn't catch your drift.

Re Wilson, maybe Ake will have something to do with it - we may essentially be trying to give them a choice - sell us Wilson for i.e. £40m or we'll trigger Ake's buyback clause - or something to that affect? They may still owe us something for Begovic/Ake? I'm confused :laugh2:

me too mate!

 
No.

It is of course an opinion, as stated.

Someone else suggested Andy Carroll in another thread. I wouldn't be in favour of him coming in compared to Callum, but certainly worth a look at too.

 
I’m more worried about the couple of serious injuries this guys had.

Wonderful player in my opinion. Average player, hence the team he is at and lack of teams being interested in him. We need the home grown quota filled urgently, so double win. We don't NEED to fill any quota. We just can't have over a set amount of foreign players. Imo those additional places should be going to academy players anyway. Sarri wants a 21 man squad, so outside the 17 foreign players we have Ampadu, RLC, Barkley, Christensen, CHO. 

If the asking price is £50m we should just pay it. No, we really shouldn't. That's the going rate for young English talent these days Since when is 27 considered young?

He's Wilson's agent, mate.  Joined a week ago and has only posted that we should buy Wilson (apart from asking for tickets one time).  Perhaps he thinks we have any influence over player purchases.
