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. Two he was bought to help us avoid relegation. He's done that and since then we've taken bigger steps forward than most people expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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? "He's a nice bloke" doesn't warrant a £20m price tag and blowing your wage budget for Edited January 10, 2023 by Holmesy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. So we’re still asking the same question: who will score routine goals for us? Not this lump for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
et tu brute Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 He won't be here come the summer, if not a permanent transfer, then he will be loaned out for his final year and then away on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although £80k is £78k too much anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hmmm. Did he miss that chance against Wednesday on purpose? Was it all part of the plan that we would have a weekend off between 2 League Cup semifinal legs had we lost that FA Cup game? Should we thank him now for missing that chance and avoid a replay or a 4th round tie? Naaah. Fuck that and his shit miss. I should shut me brain down too for a while.

80 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) I hope so too, but hope and expectation are not close neighbours. If we've got a suitable replacement in mind then I guess it sounds good. Edited January 18, 2023 by 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
