Ronaldo Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 It’s just a bit bizarre. £100m to spend, your only PL standard striker is made of glass and we buy Chris Wood for a ludicrous fee. I hope Howe realises what a daft mistake that was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Howe realises what a daft mistake that was. I'm not disagreeing just curious who do you think we should have got instead? Think we had a mixture of people not wanting to sell and players not wanting to come. He definatley played a part in some of our wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Bench him permanently. Doesn’t score, assist, hold it up, run about, physically impose himself. He looks like he’d struggle in league 1. Absolutely pathetic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I know Gayle is pretty rank but I'm not sure it's to the point where Wood deserves to play 90 every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I don't get. Yes, Gayle is shite, but is he really THAT shite that he can't even get 20 mins off the bench? Wood will cost us about £5m per PL goal scored before he leaves by the look of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Always staggered that there never seems to be a young kid (18/19) who plays as CF for the reserves or U21s that could come in and help out to give him the break he desperately needs. There's Wilson, Wood and Gayle. That's it. Like zero other strikers that are coming through and could benefit from PL minutes. We're still sparse as fuck in all areas as a club.

Khalidao Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Terrible player. And you cannot even praise his off the ball work. Just terrible positioning, touches, passing and finishing. 25m down the drain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I’d make him a priority sale for summer while we can still get a fee for him from a bottom five PL side. He’s clearly not going to fit for our future so ship him out as soon as possible so we can bring two new strikers in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not entirely surprising if you consider the fact the club has only lived to exist in the PL without any regard to any other level of squad. Nothing else has mattered to Ashley. Just keep the club in the PL, that's been the mission for over a decade and fuck the consequences such as the one we're talking about now.

Jordan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 We’re desperate for Wilson to come back like. Feel like Spurs could push on and commit bodies forward today knowing there was no threat coming their way. Saying that, Wood’s still a better option up top than Gayle and unfortunately thats our only options at the moment. I really wouldn’t be against binning him in the summer though, I don’t think he’s even a good back up option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood needs taken out of the side, but he can't be really. It's difficult to solve the problem too because you can't backfill with too many players and tell them they won't be playing often as they walk through the door.
