Superior Acuña Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 He contributed and I liked him but as an attacking threat he looked pretty finished. He scored two non pen goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 He was asked to play a very limited role in a very limited team at the time, playing very reserved football, usually up top on his own. He did exactly what he was asked to do and did it well from what I remember. Then we bought one of the best strikers in the world so we sold him. No surprise to me he's still scoring in the PL in a more progressive role. Good on him for smashing them in so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 He did exactly what we needed of him. We went from relegation form to top half form with him in the team. I thought he was important to the way we played and it was obvious as early as Leeds away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 I'm from the 'he did his job here' school but he was absolutely wank at NUFC and getting our money back was amazing business. His non-existent hold-up play was the biggest disappointment, expected that to be one of his strengths but all he could do was get his head on long balls without any controlled direction.

So much history being re-written about his time here it's unreal. I'm assuming everyone saying we should have kept him is joking. Not even sure what to say if they aren't. But it's a very Newcastle thing that even the best outgoing business we've done in the last few years is looking bad at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re a much better analyst than me if you’re not surprised that Wood is doing this well. I’m astounded That said, I backed us signing him so I never thought he was complete shit.

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 "Very well" is a bit of a stretch like. It just looked like we were asking him to do stuff he couldn't really do very well, like leave his position more than he is doing now and was doing at Burnley.

Dandy Man Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 I thought he was decent before we signed him, I was convinced he was not very good when he was here, I'm back to thinking he's decent again now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This well so far this season might be a stretch, but certainly still able to start and give a decent return in the PL. I think the frustrations people had of what he was (or wasn't) doing for us are clouding peoples judgement somewhat. I'm not saying he didn't have bad performances for us or miss chances he should have scored because he did, but to call him awful and look like he was finished is wild imo.

Tonalis Bookie Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 Showed what he was in his first half a season in the game against Southampton (a). Great header from an early cross, held the ball up to a decent manner and put a shift in that was invaluable. Missed a chance from what I remember but that was what CW was and is. Still a great bench option and better than the nothing we have now. However we dont cross the ball very well so I think he would be in the same scenario he was before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
