llcoolc157 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Would love to see Wood go on a scoring run that ends up sending the scouse Mackams down…. That would be a nice outcome… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 We've done amazingly well to get rid of such a limited player. Shouldn't be difficult to find an improvement. Hopefully we can repeat the trick with a few others ASAP also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Any details on how much of his wage they will be paying? If he was on the 80-100k reported then even if Forest pay half of that during his loan period it should open the door up FFP wage wise to a signing.

Kanji Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Ain’t a chance in hell Ashworth and Eales would allow a player to be sold that hasn’t been approved by Howe. Get the sense that 1) the deal was too good to turn down 2) Howe approved it on the condition that we get a replacement by window-end 3) the club may or may not have someone lined up but they’ve importantly been given the green light by the ownership to spend money on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Good luck. Hope he thrives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 £15m for a fringe player on a massive wage, the wrong side of 30 and with 18 months left on their deal is far too good to turn down. I hope he does well. Seemed like a great bloke. That transfer fee was like a millstone around his neck though. He always looked under pressure.

STM Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Yeah Howe basically confirmed Wood was getting an extra year at Forest, meaning he's almost certainly staying permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 2 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: Yeah sounds like it was too good to turn down and unexpected so no replacement lined up. Howe said we have a pool of players we like as far as replacements are concerned, but obviously he can't guarantee how negotiations will go for any of those options. So wouldn't say no replacements lined up. Just a matter of if we can land any of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we're led to believe Ashworth works is that there's replacements lined up for everyone just in case that ridiculous bid comes in that we can't turn down.

Abacus Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Can't imagine he'd have given too much thought to the "what if" scenario for a ridiculous bid for Chris Wood, though. It probably features a unicorn, father Christmas and a leprechaun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I think Nickson and the recruitment team have also done an excellent job in continuing to scout and gather information on players even under Ashley when they continued to look at players we weren't likely to sign under him. I remember reading a bit on Nickson and his team and they apparently already had Botman and I think Guimaraes on the radar under Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recruitment team are just continuously looking at prospects and gathering info on players that fit the team and what Howe is looking for in every position.

HawK Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Wow that reads like he's not coming back. Is it a loan in words only? The clause must be something like, must turn up to training or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Wood joined the Magpies from Burnley in January 2022 and helped Eddie Howe's side to move from the relegation places last season to an eventual 11th-placed finish - scoring vital goals in matches against Southampton and Fulham.

I won't pretend to understand how cash later is better than cash now for our current FFP restriction considerations, but I'm sure they know what they're doing.
