OoOGazOoO Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just read an article which mentions that some clubs have enquired about Wood, but Howe is determined to keep him. Apparently Leeds want a 're-union', no quotes so might just be absolute rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t suit their style either - then again whose style would he suit in 2023? Apparently some things online aren’t true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d always think his last season is the recoup a small proportion of his £20m fee phase. The only glitch in the plan was I think the club expected Wilson and Isak to be far more readily available and hopefully never unavailable concurrently. That sadly hasn’t been the case. Ive always tried to defend him (our style of play, not many good crosses and how many actual chances have we created for him that he’s missed) but unfortunately the Bournemouth, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday misses (two of which I even hoped for the lad were nasty bobbles) have sealed his fate you’d think. EH is a smart manager a CW seems a good pro so don’t foresee any issues as he returns back to 5min cameos for the rest of the season. Still got a funny feeling he’s got one absolutely massive goal left in him this season… Expand The massive goal he had left in him this season came and went when he ballooned that chance over the bar against Sheffield. Not really that arsed about any massive goals he might have left in the locker, when he trots out in the starting line, my heart always sinks. Kuol's going to be loaned out, but hand on heart, I reckon he'd be much more effective if he was playing right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I honestly think we're stuck with him, until his contract expires.

Dokko Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Everton might go for him. They're desperate for strikers. He'd work well in a 2, just needs to be the supply man with a few goals from set penis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 He was bought for 2 reasons. One he was just about the only one available and we were desperate.

Holmesy Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) The fact that he has zero aerial ability will stop him getting a move. Physically he looks like your typical big CF and there's still a place for that type of player in the game, but since he can't hold the ball up, shield the ball or win headers, what's the sales pitch?

greydos Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 After losing to Cambridge United and missing 25 chances we decided the answer was Chris Wood. But he doesn’t take any chances.

Wallsendmag Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 He's reported to be on £100k a week. If that's the case he's going nowhere unless we heavily subsidise his wages and that's not really a road we want to be going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
