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

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

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

"moving forward" timmy ?

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

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

CovFan · Jul 3, 2014

£3m into the new stadium fund.

HUZZAH

Hobo · Jul 3, 2014

Already a thread Bye Bye Callum

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

cue the "his head was turned"

bringbackrattles · Jul 3, 2014

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 · Jul 3, 2014

and then there was no strikers !!!!

oh well, that depressed scot is due to join soon

Hobo · Jul 3, 2014

Two threads running already!!!

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

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

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

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!

Andy Murry?

CCFC_Charlie · Jul 3, 2014

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

Bye then Wilson..

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

ccfcway · Jul 3, 2014

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

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 · Jul 3, 2014

£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 · Jul 3, 2014

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

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

going down going down going down

Del Boy 82 · Jul 3, 2014

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!!!

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

torchomatic · Jul 3, 2014

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

It's been happening for decades.

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

covmark · Jul 3, 2014

£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.

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 · Jul 3, 2014

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

bringbackrattles · Jul 3, 2014

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 · Jul 3, 2014

We must be officially fcuked now, surely?
