Kanji Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just now, Fantail Breeze said: By that logic we could just sign someone from League Two and they’d score those goals too. I said it yesterday but we could literally sign a mid tiered striker from Europe or lower league and they’d be offering more structure than playing a midfielder in attack due to the fact we can’t rely on perma crock Gayle and Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just now, Mr Raspberry Jam said: He's a stop gap signing. Not a long term one. I think if we get him he can and will score the goals to keep us up. We’re going to need more than five goals (which his entire career has shown to be his probable ceiling, not taking into account his age and potential decline). There are far better options available for the same money Burnley would demand for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I legit want to sign Brereton. Seems a handful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I’m not sure how I’ve got to this place but I think Wood would be a really solid signing and offers something different to Wilson. Depending on price it’d be a logical buy. Similar to the Murphy signing in the Championship season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 It has a Daryl Murphy feel about it. I'm not totally against it, but would be if it's the only CF signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not sure if our style of play lends itself to a battering ram type centre forward like Wood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar got a hundred times lower because of last night eh Was thinking this myself. So much money and we end up with Wood. Only at Newcastle. No thanks..

gdm Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just now, Kanji said: simple math of how many on the plate chances our midfielders who’ve been in strikers positions have fluffed. And what? Wood is the only guy that can finish those chances? Chris wood is more than capable of fluffing his own chances. 30 shots this season 3 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve seen under Ashley, a decent striker is one hell of an important position and if you neglect it, 9/10 you’re scraping a relegation battle. I’d rather us spend £40m on a striker right now than a CB. At least we already have some CB options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Let's go for Lovenkrands. Or that McCarthy or what his name is, the former wigan player. Better than Longstaff. Edited January 9, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just having a discussion on Wood. Relax please. Id much rather have a top tier striker given we can afford one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We need two strikers Not opposed to Wood being one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I know Joelinton and Wood are miles apart when it comes to scoring goals, but we have tried "the big guy type" up fornt, and we haven't played on to his strenght at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I no can see the logic in terms of a target man whose good in the air particularly as we’ve signed Trippier. If he comes in as one of two then fine but as the lone option far too risky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I might be wrong and it might be a bit unfair, but I expect names like Wood and Solanke are coming from Howe, which causes me some concern. We should be aiming much higher than that. Those are signings I’d be disappointed with if Ashley was still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 minute ago, ManDoon said: It doesn’t at all. It’s got that Ashley vibe to me. I had a quick check and burnley fans want him gone, that’s a bad sign. Ooff. Yeah, that is a bad sign. When it’s unanimous. Other fans opinions on players and managers are usually worth listening to. As we have found out a good few times. Just to play devil’s advocate. Burnley do play anti-football. Who’s to say he doesn’t perform better in a new set up and a team that is at least trying to progress into a more attacking outfit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just now, Mr Raspberry Jam said: what are Burnley demanding? I suspect they won’t let him go for anything less than £5m, which would be enough to get someone better in on a loan till the end of the season.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wood just feels like we’re rushing out to sign anybody now. A knee jerk reaction. We’ve gone from being linked to some amazing players to Chris fuckin’ Wood from Brexit FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I get we're desperate, but moves for players like these just make me wonder what Nickson is even doing. Can our scouting team not find talent anywhere else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Any fee mentioned? The guy is a 1 in 3 striker, which isn’t bad. Burnley fans seemingly want rid but honestly, if we can get him in the team for Watford and then get someone better later I’d be okay with it. Seems like a low-risk (albeit low reward ) signing for the pinch we’re in. Edited January 9, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
