Waste of time and money. He should be moved on in the next window.
Agree in principle but the practicality of the scenario was…

We wouldn’t have sold him in last summer because him and Isak rotated fantastically well, and Wilson scored 18 goals in 31 league games… getting us into a CL spot.

We couldn’t have sold him this summer as he was still recovering from injury.

I agree his fitness is a massive issue, am sure he’s gutted by it more than any of us are… this is the tail end of his career and it’s become an injury f**king nightmare… but given money concerns we won’t be able to go out and bring in the finished article, so the club really need to pick their targets well and beat off any other clubs going for the player… and still any replacement is going to be a gamble.

We really need to be giving Osula some time on the pitch, no point in running Isak into the ground for ever decreasing returns over 90 minutes, and any experience is better than none. I’d rather he’s had some time before the run of Forest/West Ham/Palace… even if that means some time against Chelsea and Arsenal.

There’s no guarantee Wilson will be back for those three games, where we HAVE to perform and do well, but if we run Isak into the ground in the next 3 games (Chelsea/Chelsea/Arsenal) and he gets injured because of it, or he’s just struggling for energy by the end of games… we are going to need someone to come in… becasue as long as I have a hole in my a$$ Gordon is not a striker.
