duo

He's been unlucky with injuries 

Just has no composure

I know it's been posted a millions times but....

The Sky retro is brilliant 

Why is it taking so long to appoint one?  Think they are waiting to see what league we'll be playing in?

We're desperate, we're rich - just have to accept we have to pay over the odds.  Get it done.

They must see something in the lad as they seem to be going all out to get him

I'd take him

This is actually a very impressive collection of goals. 

 

Surprised at how much he gets in behind and how quick he looks in these. Think this guy is going to make a big difference for us.

 

I know he's a big guy, but is he actually a target man type? Seems to look to get in behind more than coming short and holding up the ball. Seems to me that Barnes was more of the guy that played the target man role.

A few scuffs, second bites in the mix ? Most will come from set pieces - Trippier-->Wood.  Best win these corners.

Any LB news?

Their highest wage currently is £55k pw. They’d have to smash that. There’s no chance man.

They'll be able afford to pay him more than he's getting at Lens

1st of all he won't sign for them. Secondly he would cost around 30m, if not more. 

We've gifted them £25Mil so they only need to find an extra £5mil

Think a new challenge for him will help us massively. Easy to get stuck when every is the same.. 

What new challenge? He's gone from a relegation battle to a relegation battle.  

So who's bringing Wood into their FPL team? Lots of +ve messages so am expecting a fair few

It's also worth bearing in mind that after 17 games last season Wood too only had scored 3 goals. He finished the season their top scorer with 12.

Let's pray he does the same then. 

Did he sign a new contract recently?

I think it's Eddie using his Burnley connections - just like Gerrard has done with Coutinho.

 

If it gets us out the shit in the short term I'm good with that.

 

We can look for better players all over going forward, but right now we need something for Saturday.

It means we can field a striker yes - jury is out if he'll get us goals.

Thing is football is completely based on recency bias. You can see this with coutinho, his value has plunged due to his drop in form. Same would happen to salah, same will likely happen to Kane, we’ve seen Sean Longstaff go from 25m to 1m.

 

Clubs are basing their price on where you are at now not what you did in the past 

It's not like Wood is flying - that's why I am struggling to get why people think Wood is suddenly going to score the goals.  He's been poor this season - 'hence' why Burnley are also in the bottom 3.  Normally you scout players and pick those on current form, not that from two seasons ago.

He's a completely different player to Wilson so I assume our style of football will have to adapt to suit him.

Are you feeling OK? You didn't mention the fact he's on three goals for the season in this post. 

I forgot - 3 goals.  Could we not have bid for Toney - at least he's scored 4.  Much better player as well.
