If Steve Bruce was still manager and he signed Wood,there would have been hell to pay
Wood say's he signed because "Newcastle are a massive club"..NO,you signed for them,because you were going to get a decent pay day.
Wood is not a profilic scorer as he has only scored 3 goals in 17 games, aged 30 soon to be 31 and saying that Newcastle is the biggest club cos all he think about is ££££ and he is NOT an upgrade to Callum Wilson, far from it.terrya1965 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:10 pm If Steve Bruce was still manager and he signed Wood,there would have been hell to pay

Don't think they see him as an upgrade on Wilson tbh. But they had to bring someone in so triggered the release clause. Wood could have said no of course so you're absolutely right that he hasn't moved for ambition, just loads of extra wonga.Ibbyham wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:22 pmWood is not a profilic scorer as he has only scored 3 goals in 17 games, aged 30 soon to be 31 and saying that Newcastle is the biggest club cos all he think about is ££££ and he is NOT an upgrade to Callum Wilson, far from it.terrya1965 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:10 pm If Steve Bruce was still manager and he signed Wood,there would have been hell to pay

We tried to sign him about 4 to 5 years ago but gladly we didn't.
Double figures every season since he has been at Burnley so he is the right kind of person to scrap for points in a team at the bottom plus removes a rival's striking option.Ibbyham wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:22 pmWood is not a profilic scorer as he has only scored 3 goals in 17 games, aged 30 soon to be 31 and saying that Newcastle is the biggest club cos all he think about is ££££ and he is NOT an upgrade to Callum Wilson, far from it.terrya1965 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:10 pm If Steve Bruce was still manager and he signed Wood,there would have been hell to pay

He could have a good signing for us few years ago but now with his age 30+ we need a younger hunger one that Moyes is searching for.h69 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:11 amDouble figures every season since he has been at Burnley so he is the right kind of person to scrap for points in a team at the bottom plus removes a rival's striking option.Ibbyham wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:22 pm

I think it was a good signing for them.
Would've been a decent enough signing at £5m but £27m? Really? ( Re: Transfermarkt and I assume that figure includes wages) but still, Burnley have had the Toons trousers right down here.h69 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:11 amDouble figures every season since he has been at Burnley so he is the right kind of person to scrap for points in a team at the bottom plus removes a rival's striking option.Ibbyham wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:22 pm

27m means nothing to them so I dont think the fee makes any difference whatsoever.BillyDWhizz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:50 amWould've been a decent enough signing at £5m but £27m? Really?

Let's be honest, he's going to have to score closer to 20 goals this season to give the Toon much hope of staying up and he ain't going to do that, even with a fairly reasonable run of games coming up.
Looking at their remaining fixtures I don't think they've got a snowballs chance of getting the 29 points they need to get to the magic 40pt mark in their remaining 19 games.
Wouldn't have paid £13.5M for Trippier either if I'm honest. Big money for average players and that's the rut money bags Toon find themselves in. Absolutely no chance of attracting the calibre of players they need to save themselves.
That's my point. Spending big money on players over 30 who at best are bang average. Imagine the uproar here if we'd spunked over £40 million quid on Wood and Trippier.h69 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:51 am27m means nothing to them so I dont think the fee makes any difference whatsoever.BillyDWhizz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:50 am
