Transfer rumours

Struggling to think of who to suggest as an alternative and realistic signing from the prem as a striker. 
 

Surely someone like Belotti who is out of contract in the summer could be an option.

Ings for me is the only potential option.

Wood clearly isn't shit though and is far less risky than Barbosa.

Im not so sure less risky is what you are looking for, he is playing utter garbage with a garbage team, at least the strikers outside this "PL proven" bullshit bubble seems to want to prove themselves and give it all even in a so called "lesser" league. Rather chance them then someone that cant do it for our relegation rivals. How the hell is he gonna do any better for us?

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.

 

Calum Wilson - 59 goals in 167 Premier League games.

Chris Wood - 50 goals in 153 Premier league games.

 

Is he shite though? Underwhelming, fair enough, but shite? Nah.

As a comparison Mitrovic has 24 goals in 104 Premier League games.

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.

Wilson has more to his game though. With Wood you have to play route one as he's just a lump. 


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.

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.
