And it disrupted Burnley who at that time looked like our main competition for the third relegation spot and in fact ended up in that spot.

 

It really didn't. Wood had been shite all season for them.

 

I can understand the other arguments though.

What are you not understanding about this?! It’s really not hard. I admit I was wrong about Chris Wood not winning headers, 100%. Gold star for you.


But those headers he wins don’t do anything, so it’s a shit statistic! If you want to crack open a beer because Chris Wood wins loads of headers that do nothing useful, knock yourself out pal. 
 

I’ll go back and amend my point from Chris Wood doesn’t win any headers to Chris Wood wins all of the headers but the net result is still the same as if he didn’t. ??

You can attempt to change the narrative for what you said to now relate to the effectiveness of his headers, but the fact remains that you were of the belief he didn’t win any headers, when in fact that’s probably one of the strongest aspects of his game. Which in turn suggests you have a very poor understanding of what he actually contributes.

Injury prone left winger? Rings a bell. No thanks. 

Not for me either but it is interesting to note that he is in the top 99 percentile for winning aerial duels, just like Wood. 1 in 4 record.

The Wood signing still being questioned a year on after he started in 17 games last season of which we won 10, stayed up comfortably and are now sitting 3rd in the PL this season. A year to the day on from when Howe had apparently not improved us at all, was certainly taking us down and we just had to get Benitez in to sort it out.

Think the idea behind Wood wasn't to directly head the ball to anyone, more that we had a team good at winning second balls.

 

How often we won second balls might be the stat to look at.

 

I'm in the he was overpriced but helped the team in some way to avoid relegation camp.

Seriously?! The worst? Ok mate ??

 

We’ve seen this before with lots of shit players (especially under managers like Bruce, Pardew etc.). When you have a player in your squad, there’s always the temptation to use him. If he’s not in the squad you HAVE to use a different (better) option. Hence, stronger squad. 
Wood, isn’t good enough and nowhere as good as Wilson, Maxi and Isak. Therefore, the average quality of our attackers is reduced with Wood in the mix. 
 

Wood - 5

Wilson - 8

Isak - 8

Maxi -7

Average - 7

 

Wilson - 8

Isak - 8

Maxi - 7

Average - 7.66

 

This is merely for illustrative purposes obviously. No exact scientific models were applied.

 

 

 

 

In no circumstance would we play better with ASM as a CF over Wood. An absolutely mental suggestion.

Now, now, play nice….

 

It’s not just that you were wrong. If you said he’d scored two goals, and it was in fact three, that would be being wrong, but it wouldn’t make much difference to the overall argument.

 

But the fact is you were completely wrong about a fundamental aspect of his game, which, like I keep repeating, suggests you don’t understand the aspects of his game that made him particularly useful for us last season, if a fair bit less so this season.

We really need some solid transfer news :lol: 

 

I come in this thread now and then hoping for some positive updates. But I just have to trawl through 2-3 pages of squabbling. Just to get to some nonsense link that probably belongs in the Twitter BS thread. 
 

We’re absolute fiends. Getting all arsey and fighting because we can’t get our transfer fix.

If we are letting wood out on loan we will be bringing in a replacement. That is something to be excited about. Could be Franca is a goer or another young attacker. No way we have just two strikers for the rest of the season with their fitness records.

Yeah I don't see why anyone doesn't get this.

 

Howe isn't going to rely on Wilson and Isak.

 

We may sign someone who can play in multiple roles. Joao Pedro was my guess but apparently he's injured.
