REVEALED! Two strikers who could replace Callum Wilson at NUFC 

Craig's comb over is Jackie Charlton level 🔥

Hi Craig I have no problem selling Willson he's out more times than Clint Eastwoods revolver 👍

Craig, surely if Wilson leaves we need 2 new forwards. We’ve been too light up front after Wood left.

Unless we get Saudi money for Callum, why not offer him a end of career contract based on appearances/availability. Comes in when fit, plays 3rd fiddle to a fully fit Isak +1.

Some names from FC24! Boulaye Dia, Elye Wahi, Duk, Alejo Veliz, Jonathan David, Zirkzee, Josh Sargent, Santiago Gimenez, Viktor Guyokeres, Evanilson, Jamie Donley, Muokoko, Nmecha, Brereton Diaz, Fernando at Salzburg, Luciano Gondou, Tammy Abraham, Julian Quinones, Durosinmi, Maths Tel, Archer, Cho Gue Sung, Kolo Muani

I reckon with Eddie's knack for getting players playing, Scamacca or Vinicius of Fulham wouldn't be bad shouts

Mamardashvili is a must buy for us.

Like the look of Joshua Zirkzee at Bologna. Similar profile to Isak. But wonder if he'll stay in Italy now they've secured UCL for next. Think Tammy Abraham could be one to watch. Also like Evanilson at Porto.

hi Craig - good take on the striker front - my question is - would we not be better off putting more of our budget into a right winger / front 3 attacker who is also able to play up front? Isak is the clear no.1 and spending £50m on a Sesko to sit on the bench given our PSR limits is not good. Retain Wilson for 1 more season, sell other first teamers / Miggy, Trippier, Dubravka, maybe longstaff to fund moves. Mbeumo or Matheus Cunha are solid options - Mbeumo 12 months left on contract too. thoughts?

Guirassy and Sesko both great options. Have watched a fair bit of Guirassy - and I think he's perfect - big powerful robust #9 but also extremely technical - scores tap-ins, lobs, and 30-yard screamers. If we can get him for 15-20m it's a no-brainer to me. Great vid as usual Craig.

It was a mistake this season to not have a third striker, next season, given what we know, it would be criminal to go again with only isak and wilson.

Santiago Giménez, Joshua Zirkzee, Jonathan David, Vitor Roque, Lois Openda or possibly Evanilson. All possibilities. Looks like Sesko may choose Arsenal.

Interesting video as usual Craig. The point that people seem to miss is that even with our notoriously fragile strikers we have managed to still be in the top four for most goals scored this season. So scoring goals isn’t the issue we are trying to solve. What I believe we need to spend our budget on is a CB and RW

great assessment as always, thanks

Great video as always mate. I'd still like Evan Ferguson but he's not worth the £100m Brighton want for him, also he's tailed off the 2nd part of the season & had injury problems but I feel there's an excellent player on there & Eddie could get a lot out of him. Sesko however has arguably more potential & will be cheaper too. A Mitrovic style player would fit the bill for us, as it would give us a totally different option to Isak from the bench. Would you welcome Mitro back? Would PIF let that deal happen? Crazy as it sounds I think he's a far better player than the one that left.

My thoughts right now... Ramsdale if we can afford him / Tosin - a VERY good player / Kelly - if hip is ok / Gibbs-White - perfect age, even more room to improve with goals and assists. Genuinely don't know enough about Guirassy or Sesko except the age profile of Sesko suits Howes ability to bring on younger players.

Benjamin Sesko.. Perfect Signing..

The thing to look at regarding the centre forward position is do we spend £60m on one now and not rely on Calum to be fit and have said centre forward for 5 years or more with the coaching staff probably improving him or do we take a risk of getting another half year with him and STILL have to spend the same £60m a year later. To me the decision is a no brainer. Although midfielder and winger would be nice with possibly two free centre backs coming in then centre forward and another keeper/sweeper to help Pope are the essentials. I say a keeper is the big essential as Karius will be away because he won't be happy being 3rd keeper again, especially as in my opinion and a lot of fans he is far better than Dubravka. As well as that Dubravka I think will be going as he does not want to play second fiddle to Pope.

give wilson another year and that gives you time to bring a young striker in or through academy as a goal scorer is the most exspensive player to buy

Wilson will go down as a legend of the club but he has to move on or settle for 3rd choice even when he’s fit he gets ill. If eddies judgement is we can rely on these 2 strikers I can’t get behind that. Everyone knows we need a striker.

I hope you're right. I think he would be a good fit for us. Rangy, tall and scores different types of goals.

I was warning about Benjamin Sesko 2 years ago before his price was as it is today.

Not sure if you know how interested Newcastle is in bringing back Yakuba Minteh as a bench piece for RW. It's a big jump from dutch football to Premier League football, but would love to see him come back in some capacity. Stop gap striker is fine. Hope they can bring in another young striker who can improve. RW is a must imo, unless they can somehow find consistently between barnes and gordon on the pitch together.

With all the speculation regarding Isak, Guimaraes and Gordon - I hope that ‘Newcastle United’s development’ doesn’t include us being a nursery club for the so called top six. I hope that we grow by building a team around those players and not off the back of money we get for any of them. FFP has a lot to answer for!

I would sign Gift Orban as striker, what a player he is!

I think we could go for Loïs Openda.

You can't afford NOT to replace an essential position in the squad where the current player is rarely fit. They can ask how much to replace him at his best, but ANY signing would be an improvement during any of his lengthy periods out. Its not just missing him - its then the extra strain it puts on Isak.

Read between the lines when Eddie talks about how expensive to replace Wilson - he’s surely trying to prime perspective buyers to make a decent offer unlike in Jan. Sesko is surely n1 in anyone’s book. Wouldn’t be disappointed with Tammy Abraham tbh

Craig on a different note whats happened to harrison ashby the youngun we got from leeds

Keep Wilson, but bring one more in. Wilson's experience in the Premier league is invaluable

I think the issue is that nobody will want to sign an injury prone striker on high wages. We may be forced to keep Wilson. Either way, we need to sign a striker even if Howe suggests otherwise.

Dear Craig, Canny video from the chi-chi streets of gosforth👍🙏 Score prediction:5-0👍✊👏🤘😎😊😁 Howe-ay the Lads💪 Regards,

Wilson has been good but time has caught up with him and his body now more than ever

What about Vincent Aboubakar and Allasane Plea?Can get them both for under £10m and they're experienced champions league players

Both exciting prospects up front. I can’t see either the club or the player (Wilson) being happy with 3rd spot in the pecking order which let’s face it, can be his and our only option if we keep him. If only Callum… to me he can still be considered one of the Newcastle greats, given his goals per game ratio. He would also be one of our worst on starts versus time at the club.

Elijah Adebayo would be a good buy. he has been very good for Luton this season

Id keep Wilson after loads of thought only if they can find a winger that can also play striker, sorta like Gordon. Versatility in the forward group is something Eddie likes.

Problem is to buy what Callum Wilsons got costs obscene amounts of money and just accept where he is!

Got no chance sadly with Sesko, odds on he'll end up at Arsenal. His agent is a regular at the Emirates this season

Need another striker even if Wilson stays. If he goes, then two need to come in, simple as

Johan Bakayoko was linked, any truth?

Keep Wilson, adding cheap 3rd striker Guirassy. Upgrade departing Wilson next year. Right wing priority, centre back next priority for this year's continued rebuild.

Disagree that we should be moving Wilson on unless there is a big offer for him. We need another Striker categorically however I still think there is a role for Wilson as an impact sub,

Heart says win, head says 1-1. There, said it!

I guarantee if Wilson goes there will be a queue of premier league teams. Brentford, Forrest, Palace maybe even Spurs

Tammy Abraham.

Wilson is a proven operator when fit but pointless to keep when only available for half the games

Is there no one in the Championship that could be something of a bargain, deputy striker?

Sesko at 40 million euros (transfermarkt) would be a bargain and potentially a world class 9 for the future....but as always with FFP where is the money going to come from if we want to hold on to our key players? Also I imagine there a lot of big clubs after him all over Europe. I'd rather we buy young so Eddie can develop them and we can always sell them on at a profit, long term it has to be the way we do things if we want to grow as a club. Bit of a left field choice for a potentially excellent striker would be Marcos Leonardo, 21 year old Brazilian forward at Benfica, transfermarkt have him at 25 million euros.

Sell Wilson and bring two in. To compete in Europe and in every domestic comp we will need three Strikers

The thing is Craig Isak is a proven premiership striker

The holes in their rooves at the weekend was an absolute sign as to the state of play (excuse the pun) at Old Trafford , no longer Theatre of Dreans , more Streams , take your pnchos 😂

Could we buy a striker and keep Wilson to get us back to 3 strikers so injuries less of an impact.

I'm fine with Wilson gone. So obvious he doesn't want to be at Newcastle

I like the idea of Guirassy, an older head who could still act as a mentor to Isak and for 15 million it seems a solid deal. On the other hand I think Sesko is just out of our budget because RW needs open heart surgery and quick.

You have to have a buyer to sell

Would rather get Guirassy in + give Wilson a 2 year extension. We need 3 strikers

£55M on a 5 year contract, which is not unreasonable for the age, is £11M in next years budge. Callum Wilson's book value should be pretty much 0 right now, so any fee would be 100% profit. If we could get £11M fo him, then it would be 25/26 season before there was any FFP/FRS impact, by which time hopefully we have had 2 seasons in Europe to increase revenues

My approach would be to keep Wilson, but sign a young forward to be 3rd choice who can be developed

Don't see why we can't play with two up front most games, a second striker doesn't need to be an understudy.

Where can Wilson go and get more games than he gets now. Surely in his case injuries dictate his appearance rate & he ain't getting any younger so why wouldn't he choose to stay as a sort of "as and when," third choice striker to support two main strikers. How good would it be to have him fit & available to cover for Isak & A N Other. Sure. it won't exactly be an ego trip for him but so long as he knows what his role is then what is there out there for him now that is going to be better than staying at Newcastle?

Why is there no mention of yankuba minteh whenever there is talk of a replacement for miggy? I thought eddie was keen on him joining up with us this summer & that you guys in the media would be a little more enthused about it? Cheers as always craig.

Hopefully it doesn't rain hard, you will need water wings, in that place. 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'd keep Wilson if we had a young striker to step up. But I can't imagine Wilson wants to play third fiddle

Guirassys release clause has expired, it was only for January. It will cost a lot to get him now.

Guirassy may prefer to stay at Stuttgart and play CL next season.

Think.its.time.for.wilson.to.go

Kelly/Tosin on a free opens up a lot of money. Gibbs-White, Olise would be good signings!

At 28 cant see NUFC spending a +25m fee. Besides Wood anything over that has been on under 26 year olds. Sesko is more likely

Craig he doesn’t have enough of them days he plays less than 50% of his games get money for him now while when we can

But *what* is Wilson’s issue? *Why* is he so injury prone? There must be a reason, a top athlete is in peak health and condition… are his hamstring muscles damaged? Do they need surgery for example? Has there been a diet change that triggered him to be susceptible? I’m throwing random things out here as an example, but the point is I think the club need to be honing in on exactly *why* Wilson’s body is so susceptible to injury.

Šeško would work in better then Chelsea's Timo did. need that solid Tosin Kelly combo to settle the backs for years... Old Traff not your Sir Alex place anymore. can be had a Streaking Gordon past a turned Harry. and its in!

He is going to be a diminishing return. Wilson - can we get more that 5-0m for him from Saudi?

Mitro!

I reckon we should splash £60M on Solanke and back up 2 main strikers with a young un. Maybe Cole Palmer, i hear Chelsea have PSR problems. 😂

Selling wilson is a no brainer his fitness is concerning and he wont want to play 3rd striker.isak has struggled with fitness also .

Solanke, , Hwang, Kyogo, Ward Prowse, Joachim Anderson, Antonee Robinson, Dewsbury-Hall ....

How do you sell Wilson? Who's gonna buy him?..........

We're getting Chris Wood back aren't we?🤣

On Wilson, he’s in the last year of his contract so we will have to replace him next summer and receive nothing for him. If we can get £15/20 million for him this summer he has to be moved on. He scored some important goals for us in the last four seasons but it’s time to move on. Same with Miggy, Longstaff and Dubravka. Great servants but will not help us reach the next level.

Guirassy definitely no, he has had a poor career and his performances this season are a one off. There is no way he is good enough for the premiership never mind the top six, so forget him and move on. Sesko is being watched by everyone and a move to Arsenal, Chelsea or Man Utd is much more likely.

Sick to the back teeth of all this speculation. Let’s just wait & see, it’s been going on all season & where are we at. Loads of chat & waste of time for 9 months & still nothing. It’s just all click bate, 😤

No way is Wilson going Saudi. He will stay unless one of the top 3 leagues in Europe come for him. He will run out his contract at the toon.

I'd be tempted to move target on & use the wages from him & dummet to have a good look at kieran tierney at arsenal

I'M AFRAID I READ EDDIE'S PRESS CONFERENCE. TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO YOU. THE WAY I READ IT THEY'LL BOTH BE OK

Wilson OUT. Enough is enough. Great servant for Newcastle United but it’s time to go. Wilson should move to a warmer climate which will help his body.

Made of glass Wilson has to go definitely Miggy we have Minteh to replace him get Toisin and Kelly on frees we should get something for Cashworth Dubs and get rid of the dead wood that should give us a big chunk of change to go towards Sesko . And remember Wilson will be out of contract next year anyway so we will still have to buy a striker then

Newcastle United will wipe the floor with Manchester United tomorrow/Thursday morning here. Remember this

Only Saudi can afford or put up with Wilson.

I’m watching this after the Man U game Callum Wilson needs to go, can’t rely on him anymore to injury prone

Too much? We have CL money dont we?

Why do you so called journalist not ask certain questions, why not ask proper questions such as, Mr Howe there is always a problem with team selection can you not just play the strongest team available on the day of play, sentiment has no place in football, we as supporters want to win things, we don’t want to see our top players sitting on the bench, if they are not fit they should not be on the bench it’s as simple as that, all you have to do Mr Howe is be ruthless with certain players, if you are not able to do that then we will not be competing for the premiership, the FA cup, the European games and so on, the best thing to do in this situation is stand aside and go, let someone who can be ruthless have a go at winning things for this club, the supporters, the owners, it’s time to take a long hard look at yourself are you up-to top level management or not.

I know Eddie loves Wilson but Isak needs help and if we want to fight on all competitions we need another young striker or even 2 .🌑⚽️🖤🤍

Patson Daka at leicester city will be a good signing.

lol if we win our last two games and spurs loose their final game then we’ll be finishing 5th

The contrast in attitude between Wilson and isak is staggering, isak desperate to play despite being under the weather and Wilson desperate not to play and put his feet up also under the weather, he is an expensive luxury we can't afford

if we were not able to qualify for europe due to mamu beating city on pens in the cup final then arses need kicking for alowing us to go into this season with only two strikers, both of which are/were injury prone. Can't make that mistake again

Sadly Wilson has to go. Fragile and will only get worse i feel. I was more confident of victory over Man Ure before Saturdays performance but if Isak 90% we will beat them. Chelsea still gotta get past Brighton !

If Wilson was a horse hed hav been shot by noo 🐎

Sell wilson..no doubts
