Hanshithispantz Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I know we won't get him, but is that Vlahovic not massively overrated? Not seen loads of him but he seems like a 6ft 3 tap in merchant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Chris Wood has been playing as a centre forward in this league for years, he is a known quantity, he is shite. The sort of nonsense signing i was worried about when Howe came into the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'd rather try and buy Mitrovic back. At least I somewhat like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he shite though? Underwhelming, fair enough, but shite? Nah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wilson has more to his game though. With Wood you have to play route one as he's just a lump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I hated Mitrovic, absolutely couldn't stand the kid in more or less every way and the adulation he got here got right on my tits and still does a bit whenever he's brought up. Saying that, I still agree that I'd take him over Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not true though, he’s scored plenty of goals running onto through balls. He’s just not a signing you’d get excited about as he is a known quantity but he’s something we don’t have in this squad. The objective is clear, stay in this division. Will he contribute? Yes he will. So it’s a no brainer. Whatever the fee is (17m?) will be worth it if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference Mitro has 22 in 22 right now. Pretty sure Wood got 30 or very close to in the season we went up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 As others have said, Wood offers a few things that we currently don’t have in the squad, notably the ability to score goals in the premier league and physicality up top. I can see the sense in bringing him in. Not really arsed about how much we pay for him if it does happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Ideal scenario is Arsenal spend 80m on the wish Luca Toni and we take Lacazette off them. Would cost less than Wood as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 None of the others we are being linked with and who you would class as being realistic have good goal scoring records either, that’s just the reality of the situation we are in and the players we can currently attract.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Strikers are hard to come by mid-season and I get the feeling that the ones we really like aren't showing much interest or are locked in at their clubs so are going to take time. Feels like yesterday has created a feeling that someone is better than no-one. Wood's record on the division is decent but his current form doesn't look good at all. If he came in with another higher quality one later in the window then it's palatable. I'd much rather go into Saturday with Wood over Gayle, like, if that's the only genuine option. Christ, yesterday was deflating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 It’s an absolute shame we had a complete fraud as a manager in Bruce when this all happened. the lack of cohesive structure at the club is really hurting us at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
