Obviously I?m referring to Wilson being available, or not, for the West Ham game?
Imagine he?d be on the bench if he is, but I?m kinda expecting to hear some kind of ?he?s not quite ready/100%? and then see Osula sit on the bench till the dying minutes, when we eventually take off an Isak that has moved around the pitch like a flogged horse for the last 10-15 minutes.
Wilson?
Do we have a player with that name on our books?
I would say you've nailed it in one Ian.

Apparently we're trying to throw him in to the Bry Bumo deal from Brentford.
According to The Sun, Newcastle are willing to offer Callum Wilson as a potential bargain for Brentford who are in need of a new forward after the departure of former Mag Ivan Toney to Saudi Arabia.
Wouldn't wipe my backside with the Sun, so this will be complete nonsense of course.
Swap deals NEVER, EVER Work.
I wonder what the odds are of Botman playing for us before Wilson?
How many games one has to miss to get into ?like a new signing? category?
Wilson doesn't adhere to 'the unwritten rules of the "feels like a new signing" schtick'.Quote:

In the Howe Early days he really helped Eddie get his feet under the table and got players to buy into the competitive step up and the identity of intensity.
Last season when Isak took a knock and we were left without a proper centre forward his injuries started to grate.
Bare in mine we still finish 3 wins and a draw off Champions League football for the 2nd season in a row, had Wilson been even 20% fitter we could have collected those points.
The summer's lack of business in the Transfer window. The whole Ashworth midget (bonsai gardening) departure to the swamp let us once again relying on a player who proved unreliable in the previous 2 seasons.
We all wanted him shipped out, falling into two camps, either the aggressively 'Get shot' or passively 'Happy to let him go if a bid comes in' as he was fit at the end of last season.
July rolls around, preseason and boom... once again Wilson get injuries which make transfer impossible to transfer out of the club to bring in a genuine challenger to Isak.
July 20th - 'It's just something he's been feeling a little bit, so we're just getting it checked out. Could he miss the start of the season? Let's see.'
Nov 01:
'Callum is doing OK - hes building his load again. There was no real injury but just a feeling in his body that he couldnt push as hard as he wanted. Well see how he is, but probably with the two-week gap, it's best to leave it.'
He could miss the start of the season ..... 11 games and counting ..... The man hasn't even made the bench.
He's lost any good will from the terraces he may have built up.
No animosity from most of the fans, there are always a section who are just hatful, they obviously have personal and mental issues which they transfer to the club and players due to haven't no life and being devoid of personality.
However, for a club with ambition laid out by Sheikh Yasir, Wilson has to go.
There is a theory among some of my mates that the reason he's not playing to ensure he's fit for sale in January. If so then fair enough but we'll need a quality replacement.
Time will tell but I'd be delighted to see the fella ship out for £10-12million to a lower Prem Club. He's 5-8 goals he'll score this season could and should be the difference between staying up and relegation.
Ipswich or Everton perhaps.
A nonsense I've heard is a swap for MBuemo - Wilson + cash. I really don't see that one happening.

His Injury career is astonishing... not in a good way
He is as good at scoring, as is he is at getting injured
To be honest Rag, I think at this point ?10-12 million would be amazing.
I really don't see us getting that, I think it'll be more in the ?5-7 million grouping.
If he is being kept fit to be sold then fine but to be honest, I also doubt that :|
