Superior Acuña Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) 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.

Unbelievable Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) 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.

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? Expand It's a conditional obligation. If they are not met they dont have to do fuck all.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Wish him all the best, personally. I'm on the side who believes he's played a very important role for us and played it well. Yes he didnt bring goals but the work he put in absolutely meant we scored more and conceded less, imo.

Clearly didnt want to reorganize the team as he praised Wood, but as he said the player wanted the move and the money offered made it difficult to turn down. Expand I thought you were insinuating that he was pissed off that the club had sold Wood, apologies if not the case. I watched the press conference and didn’t get that impression at all. He always plays his cards close to his chest, since day one he’s always used words like “hopefully” and never made promises with regards to transfers. He said that the decision to do anything doesn’t just sit with him, but it gets discussed by a number of people. The fact he was talking about signing a different type of player to Wood as the team has progressed and grown since even the start of the season speaks volumes imo. He also spoke about not just signing someone for the rest of the season, but someone that is going to make a big difference. Like everything the owners have done since they came, excluding probably the Wood signing, there will be a clear plan.

bhoywhonder Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Very surprised another PL club was willing to spunk money on him given his form this season.

Expand Just watched this and I think you're both right, fwiw. You can tell losing a first team player without having a replacement absolutely wasnt on his radar until this bid came in, but he also accepts the reality of it and handled it as he handles every other question with mint, boring logic.
