If it keeps us up then he's worth every penny. If we go down then he will still be worth every penny next season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8898 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The only problem might be that Burnley will now sign a player who is actually worth 20m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4242 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The verdict from the Burnley fans I know this morning is that they're livid at the release clause being so low and quite sure that this absolutely condemns them to relegation. This is a smart signing for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16844 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Great signing. Weakens Burnley and he's a decent finisher and pain in the arse player. We saw Gayle as a temp striker in the Championship. If we get 3 years out of Wood its a great fee. Will he be classed as a mecenary? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2455 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The main reason I was so underwhelmed by the prospect of signing Wood was the exorbitant price we’d have to pay to prize him from a relegation rival for basically a downgrade on Wilson. But to be fair he is a different type of player to Wilson and we need a big lug on the bench for when the time is right in the future. And for the time being hell do well and get us some goals. This is amazing business if it goes through. Theyll be furious! And signing a fellow kiwi. Excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2455 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) AND owing to the release clause there’s no fucking about for two weeks while the club play funny buggers with the fee. This really is shrewd business in every sense. Well done to the club. Edited January 11, 2022 by toonotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we tried to sign players worth 20m but were asked to pay 40m. But I don’t think Wood is a bad signing. It’s not shrewd business but it does make a lot of sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckons that's going on across the board, and isn't helping our efforts to bring people in quick either. Makes sense. They don't even seem to be linked with anyone though, other than the Everton Longstaff thing. Which also makes sense given the displays this season.

Howmanheyman 27231 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Staveley: "Wood's an option but we're not paying the daft money Burnley will demand because it'll fuck them, never mind. Five seconds later...... "Obviously none my business, chief, but the boy Wood's got a release clause in the region of twenny miwl. Anyway, as I say, none of my business, Princess. As you, were, treacle." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched the video above though, I know what you mean. He’s certainly able to play the Big Lad Upfront well, but seems also like a good poacher, and as you say, can use his feet.
