Callum Wilson Injured! It's Time To Go!!

[@Distracted_Hodgson]

Even if Osula is not 100% ready, we need to start integrating him into games until a new striker is (hopefully) signed in January. Isak will leave if this continues

[@b19gow76]

Yeah he deserves a chance

[@AllanM2e0]

It’s time to give Osula some minutes now. Can’t keep having an optional striker just sat on the bench we need to give him some minutes and we can’t just keep him for “the future” our need is now. I feel heart sorry for Wilson I’m sure he has done everything he can to try and get fit so I wish him a speedy recovery. This transfer window is going to be massive for us and we need to move early to get some out and bring in targets as early as possible no matter what that looks like.

[@marktoon1892]

Osula has to be brought in ! Poor Wilson he must feel like it's the end of playing full stop

[@Papaluc]

Osula will never be ready if Howe won’t give him playing time

[@michaelmcdougall943]

Missed the boat a year ago that was the time to get rid but no Howe wanted to keep him

[@Jake97x]

Maybe because we had no one to replace him

[@michaelmcdougall943]

[@renngretsch]

@@Jake97x I think you are right. We couldn't replace Wilson, because proven strikers are more than the PL will let us spend. And Eddie isn't going to throw Osuala in when he isn't ready because the bedwetters in the crowd might destroy him. Instead of telling the club to spend spend spend, the bedwetters need to take a look at Wood at Forest and reflect on bedwetters actually being the problem.

[@GrahamGardner-pt8iv]

Paul, your comments on Callum very very fair.

[@brianhasney4256]

Use Osula he might be young but the more he plays the better he will become

[@johnwatson7120]

Thanks for your service. 👍

[@johnmaughan7508]

Pele, Rooney, Michael Owen were all 17 when they played for their country. If Osula is good enough, he is old enough !

[@Looney-toon]

He isnt good enough, thats the problem, he is a championship striker, at 15m what do you expect, he should get a run in the early cup round games against lower league teams and the last 15mins of games to give Isak a rest but I definitely wouldn't be starting him in most games.

[@johnmaughan7508]

@ waste of 15m then. We need first team players not championship players. He will never get better sitting on a bench. Perfect opportunity 2 games ago and he put Gordon in middle instead 🙈.

[@LAMF25]

He's not good enough. An utter waste of money.

[@joncooke671]

I feel disappointed for Callum. He has served us well over the years but his injury record is shocking and it is creating big problems for us. I think he should retire. His body just cannot hold up to the rigours of playing the game. Go out at the t.op of the game and head held high. I would look to keep him till summer, give him a big send off last game and maybe look at finding a loan signing in Jan with a more permanent deal in the summer.

[@gmord8694]

Putting osula in those category of players is insane btw

[@davidspillett9284]

We had one and his name was Chris Wood …. Banging the goals at forest

[@tonydalton6756]

Different style of football though which suits him IMO.

[@ZombieG24]

4 league goals in about 35 games for us. He wanted to leave as he knew he would not start over Isak.

The thing is Paul, all the club seems to do is muddle through from season to season, & I can't see any lessons being learnt, this looks to me this is what we're going to expect season after season.

[@drjohnadams54]

Should've been sold previously - but I believe Eddie wanted him to stay. Give away in January, so salary is off the books. Likely Isak will break again soon 🥲

[@robhawkins3712]

Yeah, Eddie never wanted let him go. Another show of eddie fucking the club by showing to much loyalty and sentiment.

[@freakyalien5449]

If Isak never gets a rest he’s definitely going to break. He doesn’t need to be pushed, he needs to be supported because he’s on his own with no one to replace him in that position.

Just released him now I’m just fed up with him

[@nilecrocodileRobyn]

Fair observations on Callum. Paul, there were lots of positives in the Fan Reaction channel comments section about your match commentaries - thought you'd like to know!

[@davidrobinson2776]

I worry about Eddie's training methods. The players do not look super fit at all, they look fragile and knackered. Remember Paul McGrath, he barely ever trained because his managers understood his knees couldn't take it yet he was the fastest, most complete centre half I've seen. Sports science is not always the answer.

[@johnenglish929]

That is now Bunce’s responsibility, not Eddie’s. The team hasn’t been fit all season. They were knackered after the effort against Liverpool. Look what happened in the next match.

[@marktaylor2056]

Think from Howes POV he let Ritchie and Dummett leave and didn't want to loose too many of his dressing room leaders in one go. Hence his reluctance to loose Trips snd Wilson. New leaders need to step up

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Well said...

[@pennycatterick5148]

Thank you Paul,...............Calum needs to help Newcastle with honesty. He should accept his contract being bought out. He and Newcastle need to take different directions. As for Will Osula, he needs to be put to the test. Time for Eddie and Will to be tested. We are United. PennyXxxx

[@justsomeguy803]

Would love to see him as a coach personally, probably not likely, but he's always known where the goal is there is no doubt about that.

[@donmongoose]

Looks like we need to forget about getting a CB for the time being and hope we get Mbeumo as he solves the RW and provides that cover for Isak.

[@geordieglobetrotter7090]

I agree with this. Our priority needs to be goals at the moment

[@BenM388]

Our club has put £50m on Bryans head, I'd hate to lose him, he is absolutely vital for us but if we do sell the club want top money for him, I'd like to think he will be with us till atleast the end of this season his link up with Wissa is excellent, if you end up taking Bryan from us you will end up with a fantastic winger, he is also being eyed up as a potential replacement for Mo Salah at Liverpool

[@ST3VE29]

Howe says Osula is a player for the future, then he needs to stop putting him on bench until he is going to get on pitch. Wilson is done now but nobody going to buy player who spends more time with medical staff than training staff.

[@TheToonReview]

Exactly! Why have him on the bench if he has no intention of using him.

[@andrewford119]

I think it’s sad news all round tbh… Let’s get it right Wilson doesn’t want to be injured he’s a footballer who’s desperate to play. Especially considering that time is running out for him. Basically his body has given up on him. Loads of examples like Dyer, Shaw etc. The major issue is on the club/Eddie…. We should’ve moved him on after the Champions League qualification… That’s the main reason we’re in the position we currently find ourselves…. Poor decisions on acquisitions (Barnes) and horrific decisions on moving squad members on when it was best for the club (Wilson, Trippier, Longstaff) These bad decisions have set the club back and proves we are not an elite club… Big changes needed for me. Good video Paul. A lot more measured than I thought you’d be….

[@gaelicstatesman]

leave eddie alone, just cus fa change rules due to some dodgey political issues isnt his fault we stuck with a shit squad hence wilson

[@andrewford119]

@ the FA have nothing to do with it. If you’re going to comment at least get your facts right….

[@davidwebster5946]

How could Howe move him on when nobody came in for him? Every window we have he is injured

[@tonydalton6756]

This is Newcastle! Even if we brought someone else in they would probably get injured too. I'm beginning to think about the curse put on our ground lol.

[@Looney-toon]

Unless we pay Wilson off to leave, who is gonna take him, Nobody thats who, nobody will take the risk, he would likely fail any medical to get a transfer, its sad to see, i love Callum, he has been a great servant, he is not injured on purpose and im sure he is gutted by it, i believe Callim will end up retiring early because of the injuries. What pisses me off is the club not letting him leave for a fee when teams were sniffing around him last winter, given the high standard of doctors and physios at the club, they would have known about his long term injuries concerns and yet they did not sell him, now we have a player on high wages we can't play and nobody will want to buy!

[@ChrisDavis-vd3]

Apparently Callum has had 15 injuries whilst at the club, nearly half of which have been hamstring. Surely we need to ask why this is. To get the same muscle groups injured regularly suggests the underlying cause hasn't been addressed for years.

[@devongreen7724]

Yep totally agree Paul we need another striker definitely. Also in reading rumours about tonali being unhappy now wtf is going on here man my patience has definitely gone especially with Eddie ATM 13th in the league is totally unacceptable

[@clvecooledge2407]

Hi Paul nobody is going to buy an injured player no matter how good he is.

[@mikedavies2523]

If Osula is the Future and is a Tomorrow Guy, then tomorrow never comes so we need to blend him in Now. Agree with the sentiment over Callum.

[@edluacoles]

Linked with Ferguson on loan from Brighton. That would be an absolute dream, I think he could step it up with us Wilson should move to MLS, a slower less physical league. Don’t think he needs to retire but his body can’t cope with that physicality

[@robpearson1103]

Osula been here 6 month and still not ready I don’t honestly think we will see much of him I’d rather they gave Sanusi a go.

[@Nathan-vw9du]

We must go in with a good fee for J. David of Lille or Georges Mikautadze, Omar Marmoush Short term we could potentially explore the options for Calvert Lewin, Kramaric or undav

[@michaelmcdougall943]

Starting to remind me of the Ashley days hanging onto ageing injury prone players and not replacing them

[@DELUSIONALDANNYG2]

This is all Eddie Howe trying to cling onto his mates

[@rickyd4073]

Wilson was such an important player in our recent history, along with ASM I would argue. Trippier and Bruno as well. It’s not easy to see him go out like this.

[@TheToonReview]

I agree.

[@simonyorkshire241]

The club need to invest in a striker, right-winger, right-sided centre back and (possibly, but can wait till the summer) a goalkeeper. The first 3 positions need to be sorted now. We made 5 January signings in January 2022, so it can be done. If we have to sell a midfielder to do this, fine. We cannot wait.

[@paulcurry4384]

It is Unfortunate that Newcastle has lost Callum. They gave him ample space to recover time after time and have shown him great humanity.

[@MagpiesUnite]

Maybe this is what mitchell was talking about with transfers not being fit for purpose, as in not selling players and not getting the players in needed. Jan on over is massive for transfers.

[@davidhackett5820]

Nobody will buy him, lack of investment in 1st team by the club is to blame

[@givemesomewine]

Osula HAS to play...

[@blenchy5226]

We have a gut full of players that need shifting on but i can't see anyone wanting to buy. Now with news of Tonali and Barnes i think one will go in Jan.

[@bryanfish7303]

Plenty of big clubs get in loan signings. I don't know if the higher ups feel it's a waste of money. But if we don't have the money to get a (fit) Wilson level striker, then I'd rather spend the money on a loan, especially as our midfielders aren't exactly goal crazy. If we don't spend that money now on a good goalscorer, we aren't getting Europe next season and the financial situation will get worse

[@anderswillestofte9376]

Eddie say dont want loan players, becuse he dont want to devolper other clubs players.

[@thembazote736]

Not shocked, agreed it's just down to Callum Wilson to accept that his body is no longer up for it. Going forward in the immediate future..just give Osula a go, he can't improve/develop without any game time. Liked the look of Tammy Abraham last night for AC, we've tried to go in for him before, why not have another crack?

[@johnmitchinson1801]

Osula for the future,how far in the future 3 years 5 years or what???ridiculous..difficult to sell Wilson now

[@anderswillestofte9376]

problem whit Osula is not that young hes 21 for him to devolper he ned game time he should be loan out or last get game time for resver/U23 but just sit lime on bench.

[@graeme66]

Howe talks some bollocks osula is on the bench every week if he ain't going to use him why make him a sub Howe needs to start using the lad here and now

[@davidoliver3528]

for me go with osula, he's been at the club nearly half a season, when exactly is he going to be ready? The way i see it the only way he can get ready is to get minutes in the PL in the team

[@Jake97x]

No need to abuse him guys it's not his fault yes he needs to go now though but let's appreciate what he's done for the club

[@TheToonReview]

I don’t understand the personal abuse, it’s not his fault. The club however should have addressed this much earlier.

[@PaulGagie]

Osula needs more game time but like you say, we need a new striker. I feel sorry for Callum but could he become a coach perhaps?

[@RonPhilp]

Agree Paul , poor lad has tried his best , I like him a lot . But he has to go now 😢

[@BillyfromConsett]

He's got a contract and will get paid whatever. He's here until the summer. Send him on holiday somewhere until the summer. He's never been consistently fit. That's the fact.

[@PhilPha]

Call me cynical however I think Wilson chucked the towel in when he didn’t get his move in the summer.

[@janlievens6964]

Osula has to be brought in , Look at Palmer Chelsea gave him a chance and look at him he runs the team now

[@Nathan-vw9du]

Hi Paul. Now WILSON is injured. The priority is now a striker. A proven player who can come straight in. Then a right winger, then maybe a centre back.

[@steven320]

Get Mbuemo through the door. Liam Delap not a bad back up for Isak.

[@MrUtopianDellusions]

Been a great striker for us, an excellent player when fit. But the only way a club is going to take a chance on him now is on a free. We only have ourselves to blame however.

[@chrissyaye]

I'm more concerned about his posts on Instagram it sounds like he's struggling with his mental health I hope he's not but also hope he's okay the abuse he's received on X is quite simply disturbing but that's what that platform is toxic

[@colinjohnson6195]

I have to agree, thanks for what you’ve done Callum but it’s time to say goodbye. I’d cancel his contract and release him. Give Osula his chance, what is there to lose?

[@Phgray58]

[@paulenglish7500]

The time to sell Wilson was not this summer past but last year. We know what his injury record is but we might of got a bit of doe for him then. Two chances of getting anything for him now. I think Wilson is or was a top striker too

[@Oliias]

Calum has every right, and probably will, run down his contract. We don't need a striker in January....we need 2!!

[@Garymoffatblues]

This was and still is my problem with Eddie. He should of sold at least 5 players after we qualified for the champions league as we knew some players were not good enough to progress us to the next level. We could of bought better with the money raised as that season the players stock were the highest they probably would of ever been. Eddie is reluctant to sell the experience as like he said on Simon Jordans interview he wished when he was at Burnley he would of called upon the experienced players and learnt from it. Well it's going to be his downfall in this instance. We won't buy any players in Jan unless they fit the 433 Eddie way as he won't buy players who can fit into different formations. I will always be indebted to what Eddie did in the 1st 2 seasons but he just doesn't learn or progress.

[@anderswillestofte9376]

would be stupid buy any in Januar if Eddie is here the players wont be ready for Eddie befor wee hit September, also over prices in Januar only bad run club or club in panic buy in Januar now of days.
