That was my direct comparison as well, at least we know he can strike a ball unlike little Miggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Was hoping for a Craig Hope special tonight, alas it was not meant to be Although 'The Gallowgate End Pigeon' on twitter says there will be a massive breaking transfer regarding us either tonight or in the morning. That probably belongs in the twitter bollocks thread though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wouldn't be averse to signing Wood as long as another striker comes in with him, maybe someone young and more unproven of Barbossa's ilk, who wouldn't then have all the pressure of being the only fit striker at the club.

STM Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just read that Woods record in the PL is comparable to Wilson, which is surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it’s true like the Norwich fans says that he’s lost interest - why come here? We need players willing to fight for survival. Not someone who lost interest and plays for a team in the bottom three? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the right answer, we have enough deadwood (nearly a whole squad) to shift, without adding some more to the pike.

HWTL Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Don't mind Wood but it just brings it home how difficult it must be to bring in a higher quality ST even with money, if rumors are correct sounds like targets are gradually getting worse each week.

Scotty66 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Cantwell was absolute class for Norwich, a creator and a goalscorer. A lot of my mates are Norwich fans and they're just bitter because he got in a strop, blaming him instead of the club/manager. Nobody really knows what's happened behind the scenes. We need a creative player though, and lots of them, so would be happy if we bring him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Norwich fans generally rate Cantwell as a player, but they're not happy with his antics. He wouldn't sign a new contract and he's barely played this season, no one really knows why and there's all kinds of speculation (injury, family problems, general unprofessionalism, etc).

Barnes23 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Cantwell has shown promise in the PL for sure but to me he just perfectly fits the profile of the kind of player who would come into our setup and underwhelm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Howe used to use Brooks as a link up type of player, maybe in a 4-2-3-1 Cantwell links up the attack. Haven’t seen enough of him to judge, but in tandem with other new signings he might be a useful addition. We certainly need someone who can pick a pass in the final third.

toon25 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Villa have pulled off two massive coups in Coutinho and, seemingly, Digne in under a week. I'd like to think Amanda could pull something out of the hat in 3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t evolve by adding more deadwood to the squad though, you replace them with a much higher quality if you really want to progress. Wood and Cantwell is just adding more deadwood whilst Trippier is evolving the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
