Well, the manager signed Chris Wood, and so he will be making use of him.

 

I do think we are going to transition to more of a 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 to have someone play in behind the main striker , which should help Wood improve, as he cannot play upfront by himself, which is why his best at Burnley was with Barnes doing all the link up play.


Literally the wealthiest club in the world and you’re making a case for Chris Wood to figure, man.[emoji38] He’ll be 4th choice at best next season or out the door.

Hugo Hugo Hugo is a great chant 


 

Aye takes me straight back to Viana. We’d just savage another player’s chant anyway like the Joelinton one so might as well be that.

This is the sort of signing I want. He might be shite, he might be brilliant but we’re in a position to take these punts now.

How does everyone feel blowing half the budget on him?

 

Not sure if that's tongue in cheek, we could spend 4x that tbh, but I think the only reason we are getting him is because we are gambling on him coming good. There might have been plenty of big clubs sniffing around, but maybe not prepared to spend that much on a prospect. I'm just going off what I've seen on Youtube, but I am more than happy to spend that much, he looks the real deal.

 

Just one caveat though, I haven't seen him shooting from distance so I suppose there might be a question mark over how well he strikes the ball.

I think the budget thing is a lie that they've decided to peddle to keep things sensible.

 

FFP is over 3 seasons so they can spend big right now and then rectify that by upping revenue over the next 3 years etc.

 

They're being tactical to keep fees and expectations as low as possible and it probably is working to some degree seeing as many believe the lie.

 

Maybe i'm wrong of course, but I have a feeling we'll spend over 100 mil this Summer, possibly more.

His last goal was a well struck shot from outside the box

I have only seen snatches on Youtube tbf. If we're signing him I'll probably do some proper research, but yeah hopefully he's got a canon shot to go with the rest of it.

Nah this is it for this summer I think, Wilson, Ekitike, Wood in that order.

It'll be the Ameobi chant I reckon.

Man, you guys are really getting carried away already. We'll see. They keep telling everyone it's going to be a gradual progression but no one is listening.

 

I'm not making a case for anything by the way. They just spent £25 million on Wood a couple of months ago, and so I anticipate that he will still be used for at least another year as a more experienced backup, because I doubt anyone is going to come in and buy him this summer.

Wood should be absolutely nowhere near the squad going forward

 

Well you'll have to have a word with Eddie Howe about that. I'm not the one in charge.

Would you not be slightly concerned relying on Wilson being fit the whole season again ? 

 

Not one bit. He needs to play, so why not give him the chance when/if Wilson is injured, in addition to being on the bench as an option to be used together with Wilson, as a replacement towards the end of the game or if we need to replace someone on the wing. Would be silly to sign another striker where he'd effectively become 3rd choice. We have quite limited number of games next season with only domestic competitions. We don't need a squad like the top 6.
