Callum Wilson Has Done Something Stupid Again

Listen: Callum Wilson is apparently moving to somewhere, which is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you let footballers make their own decisions.

🤍🖤👋🏻 Now official: Callum Wilson will not sign new deal at Newcastle United, he’s leaving the club.

This is what football is now: players moving clubs like they're choosing between Sainsbury's and Tesco for the weekly shop, except the weekly shop costs £67 million and everyone pretends it makes sense.

The thing about Callum Wilson is that he's exactly the kind of player who would do this. You watch him play and think, "Yeah, this guy definitely orders his steak well-done at restaurants." That's not a footballing assessment, just a vibe.

What will happen is this: the deal will drag on for three more weeks, everyone will tweet increasingly desperate updates using the eyes emoji, and then either it happens or it doesn't, and we all pretend we knew all along.

Football, everyone. Football.
