Chris Wood (now playing for Nottingham Forest)


Recommended Posts

Except we could have rejected Forests proposal, while Burnley couldn't because of his release clause.

 

Crazy money to be paying for someone who provided so few goals with a significant amount of playing time in a better team. Wonder who made the recommendation and approved the expenditure at Forest.

So that means, in FFP terms, we have made a profit on Chris Wood???


Broke even. Bought for £25m on a 2.5 year deal. Attracted £10m of amortisation while here, sold for £15m while valued at £15m on our books.

It's a sweet deal in isolation, but I can't help but think that giving them Shelvey makes up for it. 

 

In isolation, I'd have given them Shelvey too. I think that deal looks worse because we didn't get anyone else in.

No doubt but I count that as part of it. If we'd replaced Shelvey, I wouldn't consider selling Shelvey a mistake.

Factor in the 4m loan fee and it's profit?

I’m not convinced we managed to rinse Forest for an almost-guaranteed £15m transfer fee and a £4m loan fee on top to be honest. But we’ve also paid him about £4m in wages over the last year so it would still be a break even.

I think the Shelvey deal looked worse becasue of the Bruno red card/same day. Realistically, Shelvey was nowhere near the first team anymore (with BG, JL, SL, JW in front of him), and I doubt, barring an injury crisis that Howe had any intentuion of using him, and activating the contract extension.
