Coffee_Johnny Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Just now, Nobody said: He'd just have one year left on his contract in the summer? £15m for a 31 year old Wood with his contract running out sounds like a truly terrible deal for Forest Can't begrudge Leicester for wanting at least double that for Maddison with the same contract situation then I guess We would snap their hands off, Shirley.

If he's leaving we now only left with 2 strikers so surely a replacement is on its way Wood made Daryl Murphy look like Zlatan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood scored 27 in the same season I was comparing their records for us only - fully aware that Wood's largely been a really good goalscorer at basically every club other than us.

toontownman Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 15m plus the loan fee (likely 2-3m)? Absolutely mental business if we manage to get that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 BTW I can see Wood scoring 10+ in a season for Forest if they play to his strengths (and play him regularly). He was a really poor fit for us this season (Eddie's Gegenpress Mags is not really the place for strong but immobile centre forwards) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’m just not sure what makes people think he’d score good in any system at top level. He attacks the ball poorly and doesn’t seem to have any instinct for finding space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance they will be stumping up £15m for him, regardless of how he performs. Maybe the loan fee plus £5m if they stay up, which would still be an excellent outcome for us.

Wood is, a great teammate, tries his best, does (to the best of his ability) what Howe instructs him to do and came here to move the club forward. The lad did what was asked of him and played a part in getting us to survival and now a top 4 position + Semi Final. Wish him luck at Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 A transfer window where we sell a Burnley striker and Man U loan in the lad who was his last minute replacement and was no better. Delicious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Genuinely hope that Forest stay up and that Wood plays a role for them in keeping them up. Would be great for him and us if they make it permanent. I struggle to figure out how he’s going to get lots of goals as I think we were set up pretty well to help him score. I don’t know what his xG was per game but I’m sure he scored way under it. The Forest fans think they’re getting someone great in the air and they’d be correct if the sole criterion was actually winning headers. Anyway, thanks Wood, will always think of you fondly, provided you don’t come back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 13 hours ago, simonsays said: So, we bought him for £25m on a 2.5 year deal. 1 year down means amortisation of £10m and we are getting £15m for him. Does that mean in FFP terms he has cost us nothing? Not quite nothing but accounting for his wages (£100k/week for about a year) it's not far off. Might even end up with a proper profit depending on wage contribution and the loan fee #maths Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
