We massively improved structurally when he was playing for us, despite him being a shite finisher. I think that improvement was more around Howe coming in than Chris Wood, who was moved on quite quickly as there was such a drop in our play when we did rely on him.

A team that was relegation fodder achieved top 4 even whilst carrying a passenger 😂😂😂😂😂 The season we came top 4 he made 3 league starts before being pushed out of the door in the January window, playing 440 minutes of football.

ExiledGeordie Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) Bowen would be an amazing signing and would probably help us clinch top four. He can also play as striker. We need a bonafide game changer, goal scorer at RW. Just don’t see us signing him though, probably too expensive.

Well it definitely wasn't "in spite of him then" 😂 Bear in mind I didn't mention the "top4" bit first. Also I was just being mischievous. I do think, however, he's unfairly maligned. Bought for purpose, it worked, sold for decent money. Then came back and humped us 😂😂😂 Whilst not in the same league, the Wood was shite angle is up there with Eddie only buys English honkies and Tripps' legs have gone 😂😂😂 Edited July 10 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fair to say that we were a lot more desperate back then than we are now, he was bought to do a short term job and was moved on quite quickly afterwards.

Not the finished article yet though. Getting him for that price would actually be a decent deal, considering the kind of figures that have been spoken about for him previously. Had a shaky Euros, which has maybe allowed for the possibility of getting him at this price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room would be made for him in the starting xi were he to come here (pretty skeptical of the link). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
