Cant believe there isn't more on this. Fantastic player. Vital to how we play and gets plenty of crucial goals. His record is very good.

Brilliant news!
Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
Good news - I’m not his greatest fan but can see what he brings to the team (or perhaps more accurately, what we lack when he isn’t there).
His record speaks for itself, I just wish he would get himself involved a little more and more than anything, use his size to his advantage a lot more than he does.

Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
He’s a really key player for us and is sorely missed when he doesn’t play
Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
He certainly is.
Our style doesn’t really suit many alternatives, which is a little bit of a concern.

What’s a concern? Being a Premier League club for four consecutive seasons?DCWat wrote:He certainly is.

Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
Why would that be a concern?
Having squad and/or adaptability concerns and being a Premier League club for four seasons are not mutually exclusive.
In fact I’d argue that a greater level of adaptability would aid us in extending that stay beyond four, five or six years.

How many teams actually adapt though?DCWat wrote:Why would that be a concern?

Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
I suppose that depends to what extent.
We’ve Rodriguez and the lesser spotted Vydra in reserve, both of whom would require us to adapt.
Most clubs will suffer if they lose their main striker, though I do think that we are ill equipped to deal with a lengthy spell on the sidelines, for Wood.
Without being able to adapt a little more, I’m not entirely sure where Rodriguez and Vydra will offer the cover needed.

Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
It's great news to see Chris Wood signing again - and should this be 2023, where Ash Barnes was "2022?"
What's also great for the club is that we are rewarding our players, demonstrating that the club has the confidence in the funding to commit to keeping Premier League players with us over the longer term.
Now lets get Jeff's signature on his new contract.

Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
This has been a great week for me.
Love Wood and Barnes for us.
For sure we need to sign Ronaldo but for now this is top drawer.
well done manager & board.
both to score tomorrow.

Re: ARTICLE: Wood to stick around for a further two years
I know i'm going to get major flak
But, our three main strikers are now signed up until they are into their early thirties (all over 31 at end of contract)
Where is the plan for the future
When will we see pace added to the front line attack
When will we see an alternative to "hoof ball"

Not sure tbh, maybe Dyche is planning on sticking with virtually the same team for the next 4 years?jojomk1 wrote:I know i'm going to get major flak

Isn't that how it works - c Ferggie. Manager keeps his squad together until the end of his contract. When he leaves his squad retires.jrgbfc wrote:Not sure tbh, maybe Dyche is planning on sticking with virtually the same team for the next 4 years?
On the other hand, I'd take Sean Dyche to be a legacy builder.
