Gazzaschicken Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 6 minutes ago, Lush Vlad said: Someone on Twitter is saying we are going to become a feeder club for Inter Milan under PIF’s ownership of both clubs. I wonder if Inter want Wood or Cantwell? they must be keen on Almiron, at least. Comical nufc made 120m pounds last season finishing in the bottom half, in 19/20 season juventus won the league and made 100m euros. If anyone's a feeder club it would be inter feeding us. Not that they are going to buy inter anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have people not watched Burnley, like ever? Everyone on here hates their play style, but it’s effective for players like Wood and Barnes. Really don't get what you mean by changing our style, like. We already get plenty of crosses into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mental posts Ive seen are like “why haven’t we got 20 players in now/should we sack Amanda Stavely” It was more the people expecting 10 signings in the first week in January, its a reoccuring theme on social media.

SweMag Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I think, in a relegation battle and in short-term, a player like Chris Wood could be a decent option and a backup to Callum Wilson when he’s fit. Tall, strong, and knows how to score in the Premier League. 26 goals scored last two seasons. Not sure how reliable the article is though. It only says we have made an approach. No bid.

Yorkie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wood would be a really good signing. 1 in 3 striker and one of the most important players at a direct relegation rival. Plus he's a target man, which we could really do with. Wouldn't turn me nose up at him at all, we're not gonna sign loads who are the calibre of Trippier. It's clear we wouldn't have got him were it not for his existing relationship with Howe imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Probably end up being nothing in the links and we’ve wasted about 100 pages debating it But I swear some people are going on like he’s Ade Akinbiyi or a 40 year old Heskey or something He’d hardly be my first choice. But he does work hard and defend from the front, he scores off both feet and provides a threat in the air. Something that we massively lack bar set pieces when Lascelles plays. I think he’s pretty mobile, as well. He’s not slow like Shola at the end or Rondon for Everton, for example. Although TBF, they’re about as fast as a coastal erosion.

I agree however we have Watford this week which is a huge game if they beat us they go 5 points clear, with a game in hand Watford then have Burnley on the Tuesday which could take them 8 points clear - level games they then play Norwich a few days later (Saturday) ?

SUPERTOON Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 minute ago, POOT 2.0 said: Seems the forum is split on Wood. Fair enough. But just because someone doesn't think it's good business doesn't mean they need to be called. If the best argument you can make for a player is calling people...then, well...whatever. There's fair arguments both ways. I'm firmly in the NO THANKS camp, though. Trippier is an absolutely quality signing. He is proof of the level we're now aiming at. Of course we'll sometimes fall below that level...but not as far as Chris Wood. Not anymore. He's not a 1 in 3 striker anymore. This mantra is false. He's getting on (although age isn't a concern, really) and has scored 3 in 17 this season. So his season form is 1 in 5.6. That's half of his past PL seasons. So he's on an undeniable slump and we need to look beyond slumping players...which I'm sure we are. 14 was his PL record. Maybe we would deliver better service to him and he'd do better. But way too risky to hope he can grab a bit of old form from 2 seasons ago. Each to there own. But I don't see Chris Woods being a short-term fix to a problem that has been caused by signing players like Chris Wood Also, I've seen it mentioned many times that we'd be hurting a relegation rival's chances. No, no we wont! We'd be taking an under-performing player off their books and handing them a stupid amount of cash to strengthen We'd be doing them a favour. It's not happening Fair post but realistically who would Burnley spend that 17 million on to replace him with that’s better? If there where players out there better for the money we would be going for them instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
