Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

[Rich1878]

But it is mad. Sky are saying the fee is close to £25m…for an average player who is 30 years old.

I know , but wouldn't you hang out of Newcastle? What's worse is, we are apparently linked into buying El Ghazi for £15m! Im wounded

Big pay day for Wood who's been slugging away for years. He'll get fewer chances at Newcastle than he does at Burnley!

So weird. Maybe they’ve identified Burnley as the most likely to go down so have taken their only striker. I’d imagine Burnley will have a championship player lined up to replace him.

Exactly this. IMO a very smart move by the barcodes.

Reminds me of years ago when Blackburn, heavily funded by Jack Walker, were struggling to get promoted to the EPL. So they just bought the best strikers from their rivals. I cant remember who it was but they didnt get too much game time at Newcastle, but it stopped the rivals dead in their tracks.

And like it or not but Wood is a consistent EPL goalscorer, so a win-win for fast Eddie.

Come on Burnley take Toshun off our hands

Chris Wood can't play a different system, can he? He lives for yard dog ball (long balls/crosses straight onto his head/chest). I can't see him wanting to get the ball down and play.

Just bringing him in until the end of the session when neymar joins. He's always dreamt of playing under mad eddie

Sounds like one of our signings. 5 year contract?

Anyone got the picture just before this one where he gave Staveley an elbow to the nose? "You said this would be the Real Madrid of the North!" *SMACK*

Doing an Everton.

Newcastle showing everyone their absolute spending power.

Paying the clause of a slow one dimensional striker like it's nothing.

Let’s face it, money literally doesn’t matter, they’re just trying to survive

 

[royalblue66]

They want Fellaini, 34 years old.

 

[Del-boy]

I’d have Wood over Rondon, but not at that price.

 

[Voodoo Billy]

I’d have Wood over Rondon, but not at that price.

I'd have a piece of wood over Rondon.

Whereas Benitez gets wood over Rondon.

They might stay up, but honestly, ifnthe recruitment over the past 4 months is anything to go by, they are years off ever getting to the top 6.

Er, yeah? Obviously? lol We may never get there. Happy to be at least trying again, though. S'all we've ever asked for.

Jury's out on the manager; don't think he's a world beater but he's got a good philosophy and he's arrived at a dumpster fire. Hammond's a short-term appointment to get us through the window in the absence of literally any corporate footballing structure whatsoever after years of Ashley neglect. Ashworth would be a fantastic acquisition if it comes off. Trippier's objectively a great signing. Wood, at £25million, is pushing the panic button (with some justification; we haven't got any strikers).

The Mbappe stuff was always a cringe. Wood's a decent recruit; physical, reliable in front of goal, weakens a rival.
