So they reckon he's got a contract with them for 18 months but they're not paying for him? That doesn't make any sense on any level.

 

Wish him well. Dug us out a hole by being a focal point for our team, even if his goal return wasn't what we wanted he played a big part in last season. Seems a great lad and always gave his best.


Well they didn't listen to Howe's press conference then, when he stated that Wood was signing a contract, which would give him an additional year to what he had with us. No surprise for that bunch of cunt supporters making things up.

Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Chris Wood from Newcastle United.

The striker joins on loan for the remainder of the season with a conditional obligation to become a permanent deal until the summer of 2024

 

So his loan is till the end of the season....and then after that they have to give him a 1 year contract? Sounds completely bizarre. When did his contract with us run to?

That's surely a typo as Howe stated in his presser that he's agreed to sign a contract which will give him an additional year on the one he had here. I know who I believe that's for sure.

It's has to be such a massive comedown going to a different club from Newcastle right now. Amazing manager, amazing squad harmony, training sounds fun as fuck, the club is finally going places again, etc. Then you end up in... Nottingham. Poor Woods man, no wonder he wanted to stay and fight for his spot. I'd play for fucking free if I had to.

I'd think a player like him would want to stay til the summer now for a shot at some minutes in the League Cup final, and a first, almost certainly only, trophy - even if minutes are limited.

 

He might be the last largely lower league journeyman we sign and have regularly playing for us for a good while now if we keep on the up. Farewell.

I have nothing but admiration for Chris Wood’s character, but at the same time I’m very glad to see the back of him now with the prospect of bringing in a player of higher potential and/or ability. On balance I accept his time with us was a relative success as he contributed to making us hard to beat, even though from an offensive point of view he was clearly not quite up to scratch.

BBC are reporting a loan with an option to buy not even an obligation if if if and if various things happen. Probably back in the summer

Well, clearly they are wrong because both clubs have officially confirmed an obligation to buy, albeit conditional in Forest’s announcement
