He’s been absolutely disgraceful this season so don’t worry about it too much. Lennon was better up front and he’s a 34 year old winger. Might allow us to build the squad up a bit as well.

Has to be done, he'd be worth half that in the summer and would hold out to leave free. Move on, seasons gone...damage done months, years ago.

Is this the same Chris Wood people on here have whinged and whined about saying he should be dropped

You would think we have a replacement lined up or else why would we sell him.

if we get the 22 million and get someone of Cornet's ability in I will be delighted, 10 goals a season or not he's not all that

A player of his age in the worse form since he arrived and we have got £20mil for him. We have finally learned to maximise value on players rather than let them run contracts down and go for free and some are saying it’s bad news.

If Wood wants to go that’s it.
He had a paddy when taken off by Dyche recently

It's not really a suprise is it, he's not been interested since we kicked off the new season. Wonder what our illustrious gaffer will think, his main striker sold.
Re: Chris Wood having medical at Newcastle

I’m really not bothered as long as we get someone better in.

Why ridiculous, the release clause would already be there when ALK took over.arise_sir_charge wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 6:57 pmRidiculous comment.
I don’t think Alan Pace put the release clause in his contract. That would have been Magic Mike.
Payments to MG and JB are still outstanding
Re: Chris Wood having medical at Newcastle

Sadly nothing can be done, the release clause was agreed and formed part of the contract signed by the club. If the offer comes in it is up to the player. At the time it was probably agreed because it was the only way to conclude his transfer from Leeds.mybloodisclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 6:56 pmIf the release clause was 20 million they had our pants down

I'd be interested to hear from Dyche on this matter.
No way would he be happy to lose Wood before his 38th birthday.

I’d be amazed if a starting 11 striker came in this month. The squad, regardless of Woods recent form is nothing short of shambolic now. This is us accepting our fete, unless someone is going to come in and score 6-8 goals minimum and Newcastle somehow implode.

If I knew we had people at the club who could identify a top striker and get them to join I would be quite relaxed. However, apart from Cornet (that might have been a flash in the pan), our club history in recruiting in the last 3 years has been abysmal
Re: Chris Wood having medical at Newcastle

Don’t know why Wood is being so hyped up now. Yes he scored a lot in the last 4 years and I always defended him but now, this season, he’s been awful. £22 million for that!!

If we sign either Moore or Dyke... we deserve to go down.
Re: Chris Wood having medical at Newcastle

I don't get why people are saying it's 22 million, reported widely as 20 million. If better players are available for less I wonder why Newcastle aren't after him?

Because Newcastle think he’s better than he is. He was good, now isn’t, and also Newcastle are trying to find any way they can to get ahead of a relegation rival.mybloodisclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 7:04 pmI don't get why people are saying it's 22 million, reported widely as 20 million.

Pace probably trying to force Dyche into resigning to avoid paying him off given the ludicrous contract he was awarded in the summer.
Just kidding, I think.

Lad has been utterly woeful this season and I don't think we were staying up anyway so £20m is a good fee.

Perfect move from Newcastle.
Weakens us, and gives us 1 fit striker for the 2 biggest games of our season, which anything less than a win v Watford probably sees us relegated.

Adebayo of Luton and Origi both excellent shouts.
There’s definitely more than able replacements out there.
