Conjo Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 38 minutes ago, TRon said: I wonder what we'd get if we put him up for sale? I'm thinking maybe £12m at a push? I honestly don't think anyone would pay that either tbh. Difficult to say, but I think there would be quite a few championship teams that would be interested around that price range. The main sticking point is his wages. He's one of our highest earners, and he would not get even remotely close to that at any championship team so from a financial pov he'd be best off sitting out his contract here and move down to a championship club when his contact has expired. The alternative is to knock off his price/give him away to offset the wages he would demand if we just want him off our books. Doubt Howe would be keen on that though.

Remember a couple of decent passes last season, at least one of which set up a goal. that's how i'd be trying to play with wood tbh, try and get low balls into his feet or at least midriff to control, protest and try to bring people into play...get players running off him into space trying to get him to play the channels like wilson would be daft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so realistically we aren't getting even £12m unless a PL side comes in for him, which is unlikely considering he scored 5 goals last season, and other than goals, he doesn't really offer much else. One of those where I guess you just keep him on the books and wheel him out for cup games until his contract runs down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpersForGoalposts Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If we get Isak and Pedro, he's down to 4th choice. Hopefully he'll find another club to play for soon and he won't just rot in our reserves. Be nice if we promoted a young CF to 4th place to bring them through. Hope he finds a suitor soon, even on a free if needs be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 who’s got wood? We’ve got wood ? Pleased for him. Good finish. Should’ve had an assist too as was never offside in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm not even a Chris Wood hater I thought he was really important for us last season and I don't think we stay up without him (ASM at CF was horrific). But in this game... They didn't even say his name for the first thirty minutes. He missed his only other chance and just kind of looked miserable. I dunno, I hope he kicks on from here because the goal he did score was a nice one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Thought he was decent. Overall I don't think he's a 'shit' player, but he's a very different type to Wilson and doesn't really fit how we want to play. Always happy to see him score because he works hard within his limitations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 As with Ritchie I hope we never have to see him start for us again. Got to be moving past rubbish like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Happy for him - he's been so mediocre I've got a patronising soft spot for him. Unless he turns it on though (and I'd love him to), given we've got PL opposition in the next round of the League Cup, I'd hope we're not starting him again this season.

LiquidAK Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Would’ve had a 2nd too if not shoved in the back just as he was shooting. Could easily have been a 2 goal, 1 assist game from him if the ref wasn’t so turboshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sure he’s limited but we will never truly play to his strengths. At least with Trippier playing there’ll be better crossing for headed chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He has a surprising lack of strikers instinct. His knock downs are getting better but he's far too limited otherwise. Not a target man, nor a modern striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We looked a much better side with no striker than with him up top, he hardly does anything right, tripper kept trying to pick him out but he's always in the wrong position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Yet to score with either foot from open play in over 20 games, and showing no signs that is going to change. Thankfully he'll be further from the pitch when Isak finally gets a work permit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
