STM Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Let's call a spade a spade.... Wood is an incredibly average PL striker but as a club we were/are in a striker crisis. Having 1 good striker (who's injured and out of form) and 1 average striker is much better than having only 1 good striker (who's injured and out of form). If someone can say, "we could have done this instead..." then I'm all ears but I think the club were right to act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very simplistic question sorry but I don't know the timescales on this stuff. The medical would need to be completed before we register them, I assume. So signing on condition, I don't think, would move the goalposts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not had anyone with his ability in transition since Cabaye. May help Willock or Almiron as well Joe Bruno Willock or Miggy in front ASM and Lingaard flanking Wilson up front (Wood as an interim) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you one Wout Weghorst for nearly half the price granted we’d have been made to pay about 25 same for Wood but he’s double the player. One year younger and has far batter ability and goal scoring ability, played in champions league and Europa league, much more attractive option.

wyn davies Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thought you are allowed to get players in place prior to window closing , then resolving issues outside the window , is that how it goes or am I talking bollox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We paid far too much for Wood, his worth is probably more around the £15 million mark, but he's still useful at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get Lingard we'll be depending on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great loan signing but would have been a fairly average long term left back. Only if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Got few worries with Wood. Got massive worries if he gets injured. We need another player capable of playing up top that will be impactful. Same with ASM and out wide. If we can find someone that can cover up top and out wide even better.

toontownman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 To be fair to Ando he always had an exit strategy "if all goes to plan." I think going back in and having bid accepted for Ekitike was surprising. Could be anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Wood scoring a goal based on what I've seen so far. Rest of the team stronger so we might grind stuff out a bit. Fuck me, can't see him scoring a goal?
