Wilson

He has done brilliantly for us and this isn't me wanting him out the door.

However, he is injured again - will miss this game and derby game - that is alreay confirmed by Howe.

He is 31, hits 32 next month.

Great player but made of glass.

We need to be looking at a striker as well in Jan. . . if nothing in Jan, it becomes a very pressing need in my opinion for the summer.

All true words, Jamster.

[Zippity]

Yep, absolutely, Jammy.

He needs to be backup to whoever we bring in not the other way round.

He’s worth keeping around. He’s a leader on the pitch and rarely drops his head or downs tools like a few others have done recently

He's definitely worth keeping but not as our second choice striker, imo.

Isak is seemingly just as injury prone. Can see us going for Ekitike on loan

[Zippity]

Aye, Isak has a poor injury record, too.

Isak isn't chunky enough to play a traditional strikers game, that's why he picks up injuries that traditional strikers would be able to run off.

He is a striker but a different sort and needs the delicate touches and delicate passes to get into his game.
