Away Toon Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 3 hours ago, Wandy said: 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? It's a conditional obligation. If they are not met they dont have to do fuck all.

Probably back in the summer And on the complete off chance he comes back, we’ll offload him somewhere else. No bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Thanks for the hard graft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was by no means angry, but he was clear in his speach. Its late in the window, the transfer came as a surprise couple of days ago. 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.

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. 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. Less surprised when I hear that club is Forest. Edited January 20, 2023 by bhoywhonder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

It did look a bit like that to me too. But I guess it's just that tense period between an outgoing and a signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Mental how we’re potentially getting north of £15 million for him like. Even if we don’t replace him (I’m confident we will) I won’t even be that bothered tbh. Respect him and thankful for the job he done but he just doesn’t look like scoring.

BergenMagpie Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Model professional. You could see how much he wanted it to work her, but sadly it didnt. Good timing to cut our losses. Have this irrational fear that we will go on a draw/losing streak without him though, and if that happens Ill blame his haters from the discussion in the transfer thread the other day for undervaluing his spiritual impact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Howe obviously places a lot of value on players following orders and knowing their role, so I can see why he would be reluctant to lose a player like Wood. He would bring him on to see games out, same with Murphy replacing a tiring Almiron. Shite but he’s had a year or more with them telling them exactly what he wants. Still feel there no chance at all he isn’t fully on board with it though. Edited January 21, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
