useless Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 2 minutes ago, useless said: The release clause for Wood is apparently £25m, Newcastle fans seem to think that's too much for him and that they're helping Burnley not making them weaker. Can't help think they might be right about that, if we were in Newcastle's position for example I'd be worried if we gave a relegation rival that we were trying to catch, £25m for a striker that had only scored three goals. I remember all the talk of us weaking a rival by buying Ings off Southampton and how they'd be in a relegation battle without his goals, they're currently above us in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Signing Chris Wood and Kieran Tripper surely means they're resorting to the ol' basic Brucey "flick it onto the clogger's noggin" brand of football that gets shit teams out of the danger zone. It's not the romantic vision the barcodes have been carping on about since the Saudis rocked up but truthfully, it's probably the smart move for now.

useless Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Burnley struggling for goals and selling their one prove goal scorer Newcastle United giving £25m to a relegation rival that they can use to strengthen their team, in exchange for a striker that's only scored three goals all season and hasn't just not been scoring goals but has been playing poorly in general. Never mind a sensible signing, the whole deal makes no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It's not the signing of Wood in of itself that's a bad idea, it's giving Burnley £25m that they can use to strengthen their team. I'm pretty sure if we were in Newcastle's position I wouldn't want us giving Burnley £25m for a striker that's scored three goals all season. I think it's Newcastle panicking because they're desperate to bring in a striker before the Watford game the weekend, it's not even as if Wood is a striker that suits the way that Howe normally has his teams playing.

Mark Albrighton Posted January 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2022 Wood went off at half time in their last game with a groin injury. Probably precautionary, Burnley themselves said they were playing it safe, but I don’t think it’s a guarantee he would start against Watford.

jacketspuds Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 That’s a lot of money for Wood, but I think he’ll do ok for Newcastle. I could see Burnley going for Brereton Diaz with that money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Burnley would be good going for someone like el ghazi. I think he would dk good for them starting week in and week out. He could be the main man there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
