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.

Where do you get the 1 in 3 striker from?

 

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.

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

Very similar goal scoring record to Wilson in the PL.

£17m isn't even bad for a 1 in 3 striker off a relegation rival. He's probably worth more like £30m to them

He's not scoring for them this season like and they could probably invest that £17m on someone better.

 

Like I say I do think he'd be a good signing for us though

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.

Good analogy TBF. Is Newcastle/Burnley the Poundland version? :lol: 

Aye :lol:

 

Even before Arsenal, they bought Villa and Everton's best players like Lescott, Barry and Milner

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 :lol:

Wood would be a huge focal point for the team to buzz round, if we had him yesterday we win the game by 4 or 5 goals

 

 

We don't play Cambridge every time though.

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?

Good post. 
 

Agree re: Diaz, but they don’t want to sell while promotion is still a possibility.
