The Prophet Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 He's a one in three striker for a team that doesn't create many chances. If he attacks the six yard area and allows ASM to play in a more favourable position he's a reasonable short term acquisition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wood would have scored the sitter Maxi missed versus Man United. He would have scored 3-5 from the dozen or so headers we fluff over the Howe period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Don't turn your nose up at Wood. He'd contribute alot to our play and would be a threat in the air. Let's remember it's an alternative, while Wilson is injured, not a long term solution. Give Trippier something to aim at. Give their defenders something to think about.

Kid Icarus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The biggest benefit with Wood by far would be weakening a rival, which is why him coming seems ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Be happy with him, experience in the PL and someone who’ll give us a focal point up front. Not a glamorous name at all, but we need someone sharpish. Burnley would be crazy to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Signing Wood would scream a stop-gap appointment to be Wilson’s temporary replacement and get us through to the summer. I wouldn’t be totally opposed to it, but someone like Brereton would be much more progressive/exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I rate Wood for what he is, he’d be someone good to bring on with say 20 mins to go and lump crosses into, he’s not a technical player but as an old fashioned straight up CF who can score with minimal chances created for him or any real creativity, he’s good at what he does and he can hold the ball up and make it stick.

Diaz from Blackburn might be out of his depth being chucked into a top flight relegation fight, then again he might not. Signing Diaz doesn't weaken a relegation rival either, Wood does.

What would we be getting? A striker who gets 10 goals a season? So we’d probably get up to five from him between now and then end of the season. Brereton would have to be a total disaster to not manage five goals for us. Signing Wood might not weaken anyone. Who knows, the funds we give them for him might be used on another Cornet. Could backfire terribly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Judging by replies on twitter Burnley fans would be delighted to sell and replace him. Chris wood is the type of player we’d buy on deadline day under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just now, ManDoon said: He only has 3 the whole of this season, I’m not sure why people think he’s going to get 5. simple math of how many on the plate chances our midfielders who’ve been in strikers positions have fluffed.

SiLvOR Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wood is very underwhelming, but if he's one of two coming in, not so bad I guess? Either way, we need a striker this week. Simply can't go in to Watford as we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) We have tons of money and you guys talk about Wood... Bar got a hundred times lower because of last night eh Better than what we have, we need to just survive and all that. Get someone better that we can actually use next season too, and one that is more likely to be a better player for now too. Fucking hell.
