Because we can't get officials out to these places or? Not disagreeing btw, just not aware of the logistics etc. January Transfers are a novel thing after 14 years. Also can’t Medicals be pending? If all else agreed in principle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a dependable forward with a good goalscoring record in this division. We didn't have a striker to put on the pitch at the time we signed him. If we got him for fifteen mill no one would be saying a word against it imo. Conditioned to think we absolutely must spend the exact correct amount.

STM Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Trippier 9/10 Wood 6/10 Bruno 10/10 Burn 7/10 Targett (loan) 7/10 Lingard would be 8/10 Again 10/10 for effort. BTW, it's no surprise at all that striker is the hardest area to find real quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The hyperbole over Chris Wood increases by the day. He's gone from being a capable Premier League striker to a total donkey in two weeks, despite playing a key role in our second victory of the season.

GWN Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It’s been a window much much better than I thought Hats off to our new owners and if we stay up prepare for intergalactic stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 6 minutes ago, Shearergol said: I think my only issue with this window is the signing of Wood. Think he's been on the decline for the last year, but when I thought he was Gayle's replacement I was accepting of it. Now it looks like he's Wilson's replacement for the next two months I'm petrified I tend to agree. The club had it's back to the wall and made that decision. Panic buy? Probably, but they have the funds to make that kind of purchase. Either we bring in someone else (unlikely) or Wilson is less than 2 months out. It is what it is. I say we have enough to stay up as is but someone who could hit the back of the net would sure make me feel more comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Ironically Targett on loan is a better signing than Targett on a permanent. He's a great loan signing but would have been a fairly average long term left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the fact that we've got 4 points from 2 games isn't a coincidence like. Just having an actual striker on the pitch as some sort of focal point is really important and Wood has given us that, even if he's not doing anything spectacular it allows the likes of ASM to actually play in their correct position.

timeEd32 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 No one would be upset about Wood if he didn't cost 25m, but that was the only way we could get him and it will be worth every penny if he even scores just a couple goals that help keep us up.

The Prophet Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I also think the additional of Bruno will help the attack massively. We've not had anyone with his ability in transition since Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonScotman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Announce Burn and Targett at 5 and 6 then go wild from 6 until 11 got to be a few strikers available. Origi (10 mil or loan). Zapata (10 mil loan fee with option). Nkeitah (buy 3milish). Morata (10 mil loan fee). Plenty more out there and fuck it offer Carrasco and athletico a deal they can’t refuse same with Dembele. All after Lingard of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
