Well I get the feeling it's our last throw of the dice, so let's get strapped in and pray for a miracle.

As is ours

I suspect people have actually watched Toney and seen his contribution to the team, as well as his potential. Believe it or not it's not just about the goals - Wood has been really poor this season.

My point is you should generally trust the views of the fans of the actual team, not away supporters. Everyone rates Gayle, we know he's shite. Loads of people on here rating Wood, Burnley fans think he's shite. WORRYING

Their fans are implying that he's finished. Whether that's physically or mentally I'm not sure. Perhaps Howe can breathe new life into him and he can get onto the end of an overhit Ritchie cross or two.

He's also shite, even when he's "fit"

I'm going to give him every chance, trust me. But I'm also going to moan about how shit a signing I think this is. I won't go on twitter or his instagram to tell him though, don't worry

Perhaps he peaked two years ago and as a 30 year old striker in a poor team he's just not as good as he used to be? Howe must see something in him, unless we're contracted to only employ former Burnley players and managers?

Isn't there a pretty good chance Wilson is out all season? I'm hoping Wood is backup to someone else we're going to sign before the end of the window tbh.

This is a 30 year old striker with 3 goals and zero assists half way into the season. We're not asking for a 20 goal a season striker.

My mates keep telling me this sort of thing about Gayle btw. They can't understand why we don't play him, given the amount of goals he's scored in his career.

Well I think this is certainly proving that we're going to struggle in the transfer market, particularly in January. Still, he's probably better than Gayle, there is that. Any 30+ year old relegation rival left backs out there we could pay £20m for to replace Ritchie?

Burnley fans seem gutted.

Zero assists too btw.

30 year old 3 in 17 this season Chris Wood? Meh.

Went off towards the end against Leeds with a groin injury.

Hasn't he been pretty shite this season, which is why Burnley are struggling more than usual? He's also currently injured.... 3 goals, Palace, Brentford and Leeds. Yeah, awesome signing this.

Bet he's looking forward to waiting in the box for ASM to piss about for 10 minutes before being dumped to the ground then.

Waiting for Haaland to leave Dortmund.

We wouldn't if they'd just been taken over and considered the richest club in the world though. If we're buying him to try and avoid relegation then, yeah, I get that. If we're buying him as we've recognised him as one of the most talented young prospects in Europe it's not really an issue is it. He'll go to Dortmund and we'll buy him in 3 years for £145m

Sturridge was class without the injuries.

Currently playing for Esbjerg. Weird how many of our fans were desperate to get him playing in the first team to replace Mitro

Yeah none of that's happening.

I think we can all just safely assume that we can't have nice things at this club. It would be fantastic if we already had 4 or 5 new faces in by now but we're Newcastle

I'm pretty certain that's who Atlético are trying to sign to replace Trippier
