An Irish pound ?

Or you could change it to:
Would Chris Wood work on loan?

Why? Just why?

maybe he’s in his comfort zone at Forest and needs a challenge!

No thanks

Hell, no.

And some people wonder why there's abuse on this board

Sorry to cause an argument but it shouldn’t matter what a poster’s thoughts are there is no reason to justify any abuse if in your opinion it’s a daft post.

what a stupid suggestion definately no.

what a stupid suggestion definately no.

Charlie Austin scored for Swindon at Accy Stanley the other week.

Maybe give him a go....

Personally I wouldn’t want Chris Wood back,however why make sarcastic suggestions just because someone’s suggested a centre forward that you don’t think fits the bill ,the state of our strike force at the moment any feasible suggestions would be helpful.

I doubt they would let us have him. They’ve never let us have anybody else.

Let's play 'the only forwards on the planet who we can sign are ex Burnley players' game.

Ashley Barnes
Lukas Jutkiewicz
Matej Vydra
Nahki Wells
Sam Vokes

Very much doubt we would go back for him but wouldn't be surprised to see him rock up at Everton.

No no no.

I agree-he still features for them and they would see us as a relegation rival. One club who might consider loaning us a very experienced striker are Brighton-loaning us Danny Wellbeck. Appreciate he is 33 but his style of play is not dissimilar to Lyle Foster-quite aggressive, gives the centre half a hard time and holds the ball well. Also very good in the air. Had an injury perception at Arsenal but has featured 90 times for Brighton,and scored 20, but now struggling to get a game with Brighton's current crop of strikers

That's not a terrible idea.

Or if he could get under Ian Woan's skin for us...

Would Chris Wood work on Woan?

Yes.

I reckon John Coleman would jump at the chance to sign him.

No. It wouldn’t work. It barely worked then, why on earth would it work now? What is it about our football now that makes you think that Chris wood would work in this side???

Jesus H fuckin Christ!!!

Seriously? Jay Rodriguez’s dad kiko would be a better option than Chris wood.

We desperately need an upgrade on Jay Rod. That ain’t Chris Wood.

Abuse rules ok ?

Peter Crouch - ideal fit.
Just Lump it up to the big fella.
Points guaranteed.

Never understood why some people want to ‘go back’ myself

Have you watched us since VK has become gaffer?

Woody was brilliant for us - no question about that, 49 goals or something in 150 apps for us in the PL.

Not what we require in a striker anymore, and he can't particularly do what he once did as effectively.

Aye, and they are no longer inexistence either, like Chris Wood as a striker, we may as well bring Weggy back, he's as much use.

Danny Ings

I think Forest might need him when their other “stars” go off to the African Nations Cup.

Wouldn't mind it if the alternative was no one. At least we would have a striker on the bench.

Did Wood actually touch the ball when he came on last night?

Genuine front men with a good goal scoring record are rare, and finding one that clubs are prepared to loan is even harder.The bottom 6 or 7 clubs would not play ball with us. Foreign players take too long to settle in as we have experienced

Wood was excellent for us. He looks awful at Forest. For once we got megabucks for a player at exactly the right time

I agree with a lot that say we dont want him back as i'm not sure he'd fit in this team.... however to say he was average is wrong really. Consistantly got into double figures with goals in a team where chances in front of goal were fewer than with this team. If thats average then we are in desperate need of an average striker!!
