All that nonsense about weakening Burnley was just that. Nonsense He's literally one of a handful of players that have scored 10+ goals a season for the last 5 years, you're painting him out to be utter tripe which is clearly nonsense.

He’s on the decline. He’s been dreadful this season. It’s always good to have a look what other clubs fans say about their players and most Burnley fans weren’t arsed about him leaving and some were even glad about it. i hope he proves me wrong but I doubt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that nonsense about weakening Burnley was just that. Nonsense We did overpay, yes. We were desperate and needed someone in short term. Who would also hang about and do a job in the Championship next season, if required. He hasn’t looked great, but he has been part of a team that got 4 points in Jan. If we get some results next month and maybe he chips in with a few, before Wilson is hopefully back. Then it won’t seem so bad. As for this other bloke being an improvement? How the fuck do we know that and that he’s going to score more? Wood is proven in this league. But is having a bad season by his standards. This bloke looks like a statue that has been playing in the high scoring Bundesliga. Coming into an awful team mid-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Sure it was 50/50 on the Burnley fans front, but it was good money for a club that have none. Don't worry, we haven't blown our mike Ashley warchest open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Weghorst is hardly some unknown talent like Like I said before, if I was a Burnley fan I would have been over the moon with selling Wood for £25m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I haven’t made any knee jerk predictions? I’m just questioning yours? He ‘may’ improve Burnley and he ‘might’ score more than Wood. They could still go down, as could we. All guesswork at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 West Ham supposed to have bid £50m for Kalvin Phillips. Go and get him and there’s our midfield for the next 5-7 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Weghorst is your classic big man up top. He's very limited, but knows where the back if the net is. That said, I'm always wary with strikers from the Bundesliga, for every Son or Firmino you get a Haller or a Jovic. He's definitely more like the latter two from a technical point of view. Similarly to Wood, after declining figures this year Wolfsburg feel they've seen his best years and want to move him on. Part of the reasons the goals dried up for Wood was the form of players like McNeil. If that continues, he'll be feeding off scraps as well. He's better than what they have for sure, but it just feels like a massive sideways step from Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
