Callum Wilson given permission by Coventry City to talk to Norwich and Bournemouth

Callum Wilson has taken a dramatic step closer to leaving Coventry City after being given permission to speak to two clubs.

The Telegraph understands that the Sky Blues have received bids of over £3million – believed to be from Bournemouth and Norwich City – for the star striker who has also attracted interest from Brentford and Wolves.

That figure was enough to trigger the debate as to whether it was time to cash in on the 22-goal speed merchant or retain his services for at least another year.

The club are also up against the fact that the 22-year-old Cov Kid is facing a life-changing increase in wages, which could easily triple, as well as the prospect of retaining an unhappy player once his head has been turned.
Wilson and his representative are understood to be in discussions with two clubs who now have to convince him which is the better option in terms of his development.

Moussa / Clarke and now Wilson

that's pretty much all of our goals from last season

"moving forward" timmy ?

 

[ccfcway]

well, no need to worry about the £250k court costs we will have to pay tomorrow at least !

 

[CovFan]

£3m into the new stadium fund.


HUZZAH

 

[Hobo]

Already a thread Bye Bye Callum

 

[ccfcway]

cue the "his head was turned"

the cov born, cov fan really was turned by Bournemouth !

 

[bringbackrattles]

He wants to stay here he said so, obviously he's been pushed to leaving our club.I knew this would happen as it always does we can never hold on to talent and that's a fact !

 

[ccfcway]

and then there was no strikers !!!!

oh well, that depressed scot is due to join soon

 

[Hobo]

Two threads running already!!!

 

[ccfcway]

clears the way for Jordan Clarke to play up top on his own

 

[ccfcway]

Simon Gilbert ‏@TheSimonGilbert 5m Standard pattern. Not for sale, everyone has price, head turned. Gone. To be fair £3m is hard to say no to 1 season into career!

 

[RegTheDonk]

and then there was no strikers !!!!

oh well, that depressed scot is due to join soon

Andy Murry?

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

£3m for a player whose had one good season and people expect that to be turned down?

Bye then Wilson..

 

[ccfcway]

don't thnk its that we expect it to be turned down, its that we expect it not to be used towards building a team

 

[ccfcway]

time for George Thomas to step up

 

[mark82]

£3m for a player whose had one good season and people expect that to be turned down?

Agree. If it's £3 million we can't turn it down. Not that it will be reinvested.

 

[RegTheDonk]

£3m for a player whose had one good season and people expect that to be turned down?

Thats a fair and reasonable point Charlie. To be honest, I don't think many 3rd division clubs would turn that down - and for the first time I actually see us as that, rather than a Champ club trying to get promoted back. I class us as that because of the sorry state we're in, poor turn out, not a pot to piss in. So much to us building a team around him.

Court case lost, no other real assets to sell. SO sell, bank,liquidate.:thinking about:

 

[shmmeee]

£3m up front is an amazing deal, snap their hands off. £1.5+ up front and the rest add ons is OK, but that brings us to needing something like 9 players to come in from his fee.

didn't SP say he needed 10, and that was before Adams and Wlson

 

[ccfcway]

this is certainly the 1st time in my lifetime we haven't actually had a senior striker on our books

 

[shmmeee]

didn't SP say he needed 10, and that was before Adams and Wlson

Yeah, but he probably knows who is going to be fair.

I hope we got a sell on clause in this. Callum's the type of player who could get a big move if he has a decent season or two at a higher level.

or equally the next Paddy McCourt

 

[covcity4life]

going down going down going down

 

[Del Boy 82]

If I was to be honest 3m for a player who's only had one season (a great one at that) that could of been released easily after his fair share of injuries, it's a great bit of business but as we all no, the team needs players an 50 odd goals replacing!!!

 

[sky blue john]

didn't SP say he needed 10, and that was before Adams and Wlson

We get rid sell release 15 and then get in 10 what's wrong with that ?

 

[torchomatic]

Oh come on. You're not that naive are you? Plus loads of extra cash.

It's been happening for decades.

cue the "his head was turned"

the cov born, cov fan really was turned by Bournemouth !

 

[ccfcway]

Oh come on. You're not that naive are you? Plus loads of extra cash.

in this instance, I would be surprised if it was Callum Wilson pushing for a move.

 

[covmark]

£3mill for a third division player who's had 1 good season, that'll do nicely as long as the majority of the cash is spent on the team. We live in hope.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh come on. You're not that naive are you? Plus loads of extra cash.

It's been happening for decades.

Our best players being signed by other clubs? Yes. By the likes of Huddersfield and Bournemouth though? Think that latter fact is what pisses people off more.

 

[lewys33]

£3mill we can't argue. Still depressing .........

 

[bringbackrattles]

Wouldn't be so bad if it went back into buying players,but we know it won't as it'll end up in the back pocket of some sleazeball in a suit !

 

[Hugh Jarse]

We must be officially fcuked now, surely?
