Says he's here for the long haul and wants to stay.

the statement - although from Callum's heart - just means that the owners will use it to get more in transfer fees
Fair play Callum, I want to enjoy watching this young, hungry, local lad playing well and exciting us fans, anything beyond that I don't care.
We all want to watch him play at home in Coventry, shame he will be gone before that ever happens

Winning player of the month is just another indication that he will be off in the summer. He is the main asset in the squad, but he has only been scoring for this one season. If he stays he could suffer from '2nd season syndrome' and his reputation suffer.
I have no doubt that the club will cash in on him in the summer, probably blaming the stay away fans as the excuse. In truth, Wilson can only further his career elsewhere, as I'm sure his agent will tell him. A half-decent Championship club will be willing to have a punt on him.
So they told him to say that to drive up his transfer value.
Maybe he jut buys into the Pressley vision, added to a love of the club, here for the long haul, maybe, why not? Le Tissier anybody?
You're probably right mate, but it's not like that sort of thing hasn't happened before in football.
You going tomorrow night?
Only out for a couple as I'm at a wedding. Working in the day so will get up there for early evening. What about you?
Yeah I am doing mate.
hes 21, always been injured, probably been in fear of losing his football dream many a time in last 5 years. doesnt want to become a ashley cain etc
now he is top scorer in league 1 due to SP giving him a chance and because he is at a club that developed him and are now playing him week in week out.
i get the feeling playing games and improving his performances means more to him than a better wage for a better team where he could be wasting time being on bench until next injury hits and one day he looks back on career ended at age 29 and relaised he never played that many first team games.
we may be a mess, but for callum we may well be the best place to be for next few years.
Love him to stay, I really would because I think he could turn out to be a very good player. Unfortunately the player you mention was playing in the top flight, capped for England and earning a fortune and you could use other examples such as Scholes, Giggs and Gerrard to name a few. Could you see any of these players being happy in League 1 and in our position of playing to shit home crowds? They were all hungry and wanted to showcase their skills. Sadly despite Callum liking Pressley, buying into the vision and loving Coventry, he also strikes me a an ambitious kid who wants to get on. I don't think he will get that with us and whether we like it or not, he will have an agent in his ear promising him all sorts.
I sort of understand where you are coming from. But have a few questions, if like you say he is injury prone and not likely to play a long career then surely he would want to maximise his potential earnings? he certainly is not going to be able to do that with us at present or for the foreseeable future. Although he plays for CCFC, it is the academy and the people who moulded him who he is probably most thankful to and they have now left the club. Lastly, I think most on here think he is a good player, I reckon he could be a very good player and although a lot of people on this forum keep saying he will be warming his arse on the bench of a higher placed club, but how does anybody know that he will or won't make the grade at a higher level? He may be the sort of player that thrives off playing with better players who will help him develop and and I think he has what it takes to play higher than what he is. Like I said, I would love him to stay, but my head keeps asking the question, why would he want to?
He did an Interview on CWR this morning ,sounded totally genuine to me ..
What a prospect.

I don't see him as the type to just leave for money to go and sit on a bench, it's obvious in his attitude that he loves playing.
But if a championship team can promise him first team football then I think he might go.
But do you not think he is good enough not to sit on a bench but to shine brightly at a higher level? I think the way he has come back after a long layoff which would have been harder to return from because of the injury has proved that he can be a success at a higher level.
He is good enough to play regularly every week in the championship I reckon, not good enough at the moment to go in the premier league and play regularly.
The next step in his development is to go be a first team player at a championship club like Bamford and Wells are doing at the moment, it would be a massive mistake if he follows the Bigirimana route who has gone into obscurity since joining Newcastle
I think one more year with Cov, if we are promoted he will stay with us and play in the championship with us. If we are not promoted he will likely go to a championship club
