Nine Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Would be just typical of our luck since Howe came in, huge blow for the Everton game. Let’s hope he’s alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats tell the same story though, unless we suddenly set up to cross it at any opportunity he is not really effective. He is route one. But he is all we got after we daftly wasted 25 on him rather than putting that aside to use for an actual striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 We've got him now so time will tell. Personally I think it was a terrible bit of business on our part and there were way better ways we could have spent £25m. I'll be delighted if he proves me wrong.

We needed a genuine goalscorer before any news on Wood. It could come back to bite us on the arse come the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% sure there would have been, BUT you saw how long all that shit dragged out in the transfer window and ending in nothing. They grabbed a player they could get immediately and I understand most here seem to hate him but he was not total shit against Leeds. So let's see what he does, right?

I've said it here already in the last few days but since he had those bad hamstring injuries the guy looks like hes scared to run to me, which is a shame as Gayle from 17/18 would have been a decent option for us atm.

Yeah he used to be quite pacy when he first signed for us, that made him a threat even if he missed a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
