Don't Bother Coming Here If You Play For The Wedge And Not The Badge

Wilson warning to magpies targets

Callum Wilson has issued a tough warning to mercenary star name players on Newcastle's January wanted list.

The Toon striker says the galaxy of new faces being chased by the Saudifunded new owners should forget it if they are only coming for a quick payday?

Wilson, out for weeks with a calf muscle tear, says only players who want to commit to “the badge” and are serious about helping rebuild the club should consider switch to St James' Park.

The Geordies were last night completing the paperwork on Kieran Trippier's £12.5 million switch from Atletico Madrid.

But club officials were already hunting down the next new signing.
