The Butcher Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Don't think he'll leaf Burnley now, but I think he would've loved to play for Steve Spruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 All the puns aside, Chris Wood is exactly what we need (assuming there’s little chance of getting an absolute superstar) He would be a great focal point, knows the league, is tremendously consistent (double figures for the past 4 seasons), weakens a rival and could play alongside Wilson as well as on his own. He can leave in a year, longevity is not our concern right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Right, I think we can all agree that's enough, lock the thread. If there's any admin in here I'll bough down to their decision like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were higher in the table he’d be an interesting addition to the squad. If the links are true I feel like he is someone that has come available the Howe fancies as a long term project. Can't believe he was or is a priority target. Will be handing in the Championship mind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not quick, just a lump up front who by some Burnley fans' accounts has had a poor 12 months. Surely we can get better from abroad? Dunno who, mind.

Can see us still trying to get a big up and coming striker in but two strikers that are new to the country league seems risky and unlikely. We need whomever comes in to hit the ground running. Someone like Wood makes some sense, although PEA was obviously aalot more sexy. That said, looks like we are trying for two new to the PL defenders, so who knows. Have to nail these signings. It's high stakes and will make or break what's left of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Admittedly last week we were bidding on Botman, Carlos and Digne. So the quiet weekend, a loss, and potentially the names linked today are a bit meh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1892er Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I know it's January and it's notoriously hard to sign the players needed but when Staveley was coming out after the takeover and saying the aim is to win the Premier League, I'd like to think we are aiming higher than Cantwell and Wood like.

The Prophet Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 3 minutes ago, POOT 2.0 said: Twitter, man. The new saying of "THIS IS NOT FIFA!" is not the world-beating argument-killer these plebs think it is. We just got rid of Mike Ashley and are all rejoicing in the fact we can now have a bit of hope. Even the new owners are encouraging hope,regardless of our situation. In fact, we need more hope and optimism because of our league situation. But now the miserable/self-confessed realists on Twitter want to keep to their past-time of low expectations, stuck in the MA way, doing some impressive mental gymnastics to justify shit. And anybody desiring even a little bit more than the usual relegation/championship quality get hit with the ridiculous "THIS IS NOT FIFA!" and "no wonder we get called deluded". You fucking what? Trippier, who left one of the best mangers in the world gutted, says Get. To. Fuck Personally, I know fine well "THIS IS NOT FIFA!"...but like fuck am I going to sit here and happy clap potential signings that would be shocking under the last owner (although I'd support them if they came). "THIS IS NOT FIFA!"...absolutely. But "THIS IS NOT THE OLD NUFC" either It works both ways though there's been plenty of 'as if we've gone from Vlahovic to Wood'. As ever with Twitter, there's absolutely no middle ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillingtonMag Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Think we need to take a gamble on a forward scoring in a European league who's confidence is up and hope we get lucky like with Cisse when we first signed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 This Wood signing I feel just papers over the cracks I hope journos are barking up the wrong tree with this one Knowing our luck he'll probably end up in the tree-tment room But I'm sure he'll have a blossoming relationship with Will-oak But a blustery one with Gayle Maybe if he scores the winning goal that keeps us up he will strip to his trunks like Laurent Robert I hope we find out if this is happening a-SAP In a nutshell this has been our most exciting window in 14 years but this is the last time we should axe Howe I expect him to have his best goalscoring form in Septimber At least he has a chiselled jaw Ok I'm done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this season but my concern is filling the squad with players that can't cut it at the top level on 3/4 year contracts and then having to shift deadwood again.
