The Prophet Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 minute ago, worthy said: He might not be, but he is way more worth the chance than an old shitter from Burnley, Also he didnt really get the chance at Inter so thats just silly. Wood clearly isn't shit though and is far less risky than Barbosa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played 21 times this season and scored only three goals.... he's fukking cr@p and not the answer. I would have expected this from Ashley, certainly not from Yasir Al-Rumayyan. Why do you think Burnley fans want rid..... not because he's class... 155 games in the premier league and 50 odd goals according to the PL website. Also he’s scored double-digits every season since 2017 apparently. They can fuck off for 17.5 million though. No chance.

triggs Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wood isn't the long term answer but buying him would probably be a good idea on two counts. Would improve our striker situation and would take an important player off a direct relegation rival. It's like when Man City kept buying Arsenal's best players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Man Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not crazy about Wood and definitely not at 17m but he can do a job in short term and we would've been getting likes of Kuqi in this situation in past so I guess it's progress of sorts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bada Bing Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Think he would be ideal to cover for Wilson. Not a flashy signing but it doesn’t need to be we are in a scrap. He occupies defenders and should create space for ASM and Fraser etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 £17m isn't even bad for a 1 in 3 striker off a relegation rival. He's probably worth more like £30m to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wood has 3 from 5 xG this year, so he's getting into positions but may have missed a couple. Reassuringly, Cornet has 6 goals from 1.5 xG, and that scoring rate won't continue. Based on this, taking away Wood may hurt Burnley more than their fans currently realize. That all said, I suspect the club we need to finish above is Watford, not Burnley. 17 million is too much, and I would rather take a punt on Diaz.

r0cafella Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We would be spending 17.5 mil for a player who would play for 8 weeks? Wilson is a much better player imo and we need someone at least on his level to come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 As much as this signing wouldn't excite me, I do see the logic in it. However Burnley would surely not let him leave in January and especially not to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) If we can get this over the line in a day or two then I can see it as a pricey panicky solution for Watford. No point waiting weeks for a better option only for our situation to be unsalvageable by then. 17.5 seems awfully steep though Edited January 9, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 As @Mikeput it yesterday (albeit regarding Willock), somebody should be in jail if they spend £17m on Chris Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not exactly excited at the prospect of Wood, seems to be having a bad season and tends to wander off side quite often. That being said I can see this as a stop gap purchase as we need someone yesterday to step up. Not a terrible squad player but definitely not the answer long term. Could it be that we're looking at better targets and Wood is just the one we can get in before Watford? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
