“Newcastle United squad audit: Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron to leave but Alexander Isak must stay”
It will be very painful if Wilson leaves, but I get it. He is injury prone but wants to be a guaranteed starter when fit, which just isn’t going to happen with Isak in the squad. He has done a lot for the club and will be fondly remembered.
It’s a real shame that Miggy just couldn’t find consistent form (barring the first half of last season of course). Love the man to death but he just doesn’t have consistent composure in the final third.
I unfortunately think it’s inevitable that we’ll lose either Isak or Bruno, both of which would be incredibly tough. Bruno is my favourite player in the team, but prolific strikers are worth their weight in gold so I understand if they’d rather sell Bruno than Isak.
Hard goodbyes are inevitable this summer window 🥺
As a shock to nobody it looks like Saudi Arabia have a lot of interest in Newcastle’s wantaways; regarding Callum Wilson:
> It is understood there have been tentative talks with clubs in Saudi Arabia who would be interested in signing a player who has, when fit, been a regular in the England squad as backup to Harry Kane.
> … Of all the tough calls that need to be made, this is the one that is likely to hurt Howe the most, but if they can get £15-20million for a player who only has one year left on his contract this summer, it is smart business and will massively help the recruitment budget as he has been at the club for four years and the £20m paid for him is almost off the books in terms PSR accounting.
Almiron is also referenced having interest from Saudi.
What price the discard list proves harder to shift in practice than just going “Alright, go away” to the ones we wish to let go?
I’ve never rated Miggy but he has heart and I appreciate him for that. Wilson will be a hard one. I hope both find a club in top leagues. Think both would thrive in La Liga. Feel like Wilson will move to another Prem club though if he leaves.
Longstaff isnt going anywhere, we need him for the Academy regulations in European competitions as current U21 players don’t count towards it, same for Paul Dummett. Even if we end up not getting Conference this year, it’s unlikely we would move on one of the few viable academy players we have just yet.
He probably isnt good enough if we are being realistic about it, but that’s just the way it is.
Luke Edwards should know better.
Wilson may be a good shout for a promoted club. Leicester maybe. Still probably got a season left in him. I wouldn’t mind him at Villa as a back up to OW.
