Ankles Bennett Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I can see Burnley buying Origi for £7m and further strengthening with the remaining transfer money and pulling away from the relrgatipn zone ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Liverpool were to sell, which they’d be mad to given the competitions they are still in, he would have plenty of better options here and abroad than Burnley and he won’t be going for a mere 7m, regardless of the fact he will be available on a free next season. If Liverpool are keen to sell, I’d offer them a 25m take it or leave it offer right now for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool will not sell him for less than £15m - I don’t think they will sell in any case furthermore Burnley can not afford his wages given their own finances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Watched a few Arsenal games this year. Nketiah is actually an awful footballer but can pouch the odd goal. He makes Arsenal a lot worse when he plays as he can’t do any other work. On Wood- I like it. This is a pragmatic approach. We just need do what we need to do to stay up, even if it’s scrapping up by 1 point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Wood 50 goals in 155 DCL 43 goals in 151 If we'd signed DCL for 40million i'd imagine a much better reaction on the whole. We've signed Wood for 20-25million and directly weakened an opponent as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 19 games left, reckon we need to score a minimum of 25, more likely 30 to get the points needed to stay up. 8 from Wood 2 from Trippier (free kicks obv) 1 from Shelvey 3 from the centrebacks 2 from ASM 1 from Murphy Need someone to step up, make more from set pieces or bring in another goal scorer but Wood is a step in the right direction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many ways to look at stats, DCL is much younger, has far more to his game and will go on to score far more goals upto the age of 30 than Wood has. He would be worth every penny of 40m. But it does show you stats can be misleading… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Eminently sensible signing based on (i) how the manager wants to play (wide full-backs peppering the box with crosses), (ii) the fact he is, in the long run, either to be twinned with or perhaps understudy to Wilson or someone better who we sign in the future and (iii) because for 4 years he's regularly scored in this division with a team which doesn't, as an occasional outside viewer, seem to create a lot of chances. I think people looking down on him are doing so because he's associated with an unfashionable / unambitious / unglamorous club and style of play. To my (limited) mind, there don't seem many "plug in and go" striker options available for money which leaves us with money to use elsewhere. As others mentioned, it also weakens a rival. Solid and pragmatic signing - those saying this is like Ashley missed the point: under Ashley we tended not to make pragmatic signings based on what was required, instead just buying what was available / cheap / likely to be flipped for more money.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It's not theoretical, he's better than Gayle and our only other striker is injured. We now have a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Origi to Burnley for 7M?! Staveley's actually playing 4D chess and Burnley will take our 20 odd million and buy Ross Stewart from the Mackems, weakening two teams for the price of one.

Ben Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I hope we use him like Rondon and play ASM and Almiron either side of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Not blown away with this BUT we have literally no strikers, even when fit. We need a focal point and he offers that, and will score some goals. If he helps us stay up and becomes our 3rd/4th choice after the summer, I have no issues with that what so ever. Total joke we have 1 striker, Gayle does not really count, so get him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the Mbappe jibes, fans of other clubs seem to see the significance of this move. Anyone who mentions Mbappe in relation to any potential/actual NUFC signing is basically a signal that they are an utter twat and not worth engaging with. It's become shorthand for "I'm an unimaginative simpleton who loves the bantz" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Little better" is probably true. I've almost totally given up on Almiron, especially if we're not going to be using a 10. Fucking sick of seeing him on the right.

He's not getting a game due to problems off the pitch, in addition to his refusal to sign a new contract. Most Norwich fans understandably seems frustrated with that, rather than his actual ability.
