Callum Wilson

[JANORAK]

Sometimes, just sometimes, it’s the unheralded signing that make all the pieces fit better on and off the pitch.

Confident and supportive. Was there a lob/chip at goal too? (Hard to make it out in the shade).

There was. Not too far off either.

It elicited a ‘oooh hello…’ in the away end as I waited for the net to bulge!

 

[Wooburn Bee]

Wish it were 2014 and not 2026 but he’s still a massive goal threat and will strengthen us immeasurably. Welcome!

He is younger than Danny Welbeck and not that much older than Harry Kane. I am also sure that our fitness and coaching staff will ensure he is in much better physical condition than at West Ham and he will also get a lot more service from Brentford’s midfield and wide men then there also.

 

[Bridge Bee]

Always been a good finisher. And holds it up pretty well. Perfect back up to IT.

 

[ianbee]

Took his goal well and his chip that went just wide would have been an outstanding goal. Got good vibes about this signing

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Runs into space, look across once, controls the ball, look across again, decides to takes the shot on goal. Experienced team player.

Really don't think there's much between him and Igor in terms of what they can contribute to the starting forward position this season,Igor right place,right time Callum maybe a little more clinical Great to have cover if injuries start to disrupt the season.Not seen enough of Kaye but he's space now to build his game from the bench.

 

[maconleary]

And that tweet didn't even mention that he came close to scoring a worldie, too.

 

[TorbayBee]

Great post match interview, if he stays fit this guy will be sensational. So many friends who support other clubs being very jealous saying he is just what they need in their forward line. Inspired PG again

People were crazy to write him off because of his age. I've wanted him at Brentford for over a decade and I'm certain he'll be a big player for us this season, even if he rarely completes 90 mins.

I thought he looked a bit fitter than at West ham as well. I'm very bullish on his impact, especially after yesterday...

 

[SH]

Talk is cheap, but he really does speak very well and I can see him walking the walk to great effect this season. A very astute signing.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Could be an inspired signing. Looking sharp and hungry. If we can manage his minutes could be the difference in tight games.

A very good signing.

Im not sure his minutes need to be overly managed.

IMO West Ham should have used him more.

Was rumoured his west ham deal had some pay per play formula and as said previously was thankful he didn’t come on pitch against us after ground when we absolutely battered them but game was still one nil going into injury time.

 

[sussexb]

Thought it was a great cameo today. Looked sharp at the right end, and even worked hard tracking back. Please god stay fit...

 

[stevil]

Showed a decent turn of pace in that run down the right. Good addition to the squad.

 

[Beecareful]

Useful last evening and pleased he scored.

But, of course very different to Thiago.

If Thiago was out Schade to lead the line with him in support???

 

[David Brentford]

Proper player

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Proper player

Yep, professional footballer.

 

[nick logan]

Love him , class

No sign of a Wheelchair or Oxygen bottle?

Naw but the zimmer frame did slow him down.

He used to have a Stanna Stair Lift but it drove Keith up the wall

I hadn’t realised how good his goals/game record is. A lot of very good players way down on him in this list.

When you consider how much Solanke went for after scoring 19 in 37 for Bournemouth, people forget but Wilson scored 18 in 31 in 22/23 for Newcastle, followed up with 9 in 20 the following season.

Whilst his name may not quite reach the heights of say Jermaine Defoe (by which I mean a top Premier League striker who didn’t necessarily play right at the top) it absolutely deserves to be there.

There's something wrong about that I can't quite work out.

Checked Wiki and 95 PL goals is correct. (Closing in on 150 total career goals).

(Whooshed!)

Where’s @nocoat when you need him?

Probably AI having headed the Apps column Age! Just noticed now- my eyesight isn’t good enough to have spotted before!

 

[hairman]

Nope. Though that does look a bit off.

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

Doing exactly what we signed him to do – minimising Igor’s workload and unfussily burying chances when he gets them. His general mobility and all-round play have also been a pleasant surprise. Really happy with him – just need him to come on and score the winner on Friday now.

His record is great and though he's in the twilight of his career he's always seemed like a top pro who has looked after himself. Could not understand the voices of negativity about signing a player who is well into his 30s. As Ben Mee also proved, age is irrelevant. Every good team has a mixture of youth and experience.
If he gets a reasonable amount of game time, I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson hits double figures for goals this season.

 

[hanworthbee]

Quality finish

Agree, and will hopefully support Thiago both on and off the pitch. Thiago was knackered towards the end of last season which may have cost us a european place, hopefully having Wilson available will mean that doesnt happen this season.

 

[jlove]

Hopefully he's already built a relationship with Furo and will help him through rehabilitation.

Always looks accomplished!
