The Horse's Mouth Posted 13 January 2022 Share Posted 13 January 2022 I mean Wilson is the one of like two players who don't need replacing, Wood is great backup and weakens their nearest relegation rivals, it's a smart signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripper I can understand decent but Wood It's still a risk though, Wood hasnt gone there to lead the line either, he's a very respectable backup to an injury prone bagsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trippier is a decent wing back, wood as a big man is a good foil for someone like Wilson to play off. It will be very direct but likely effective and enough to keep them up.

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 13 January 2022 Share Posted 13 January 2022 Wood is a streaky player, was it 6 goals in his first 3 games here? Wouldn’t shock me if he got a hattrick against Watford on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 13 January 2022 Share Posted 13 January 2022 (edited) Sad thing for Chris Wood is even though he's been signed with in mind in getting the vital goals to keep Newcastle in the premier league, in the long term if they do stay up I can't see him being part of the plans especially if they go on a big spending spree in the summer to take them to the next level.

CloudFox Posted 13 January 2022 Share Posted 13 January 2022 The Wood buy is definitely overpriced, but it does make a lot of sense if you look into it. JJ Bull of Tifo does a pretty good breakdown of why it's likely Howe wanted him: TL;DW: Wilson is injured. Newcastle are weak through the middle of the park and defend too deep. Wood can be used to relieve pressure as a hold up man, pulling the team up the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Bear Posted 14 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 14 January 2022 Getting ridiculous now. The PL have shown themselves to be weak as piss as usual. The Arsenal Spurs game again has nothing to do with Covid, just injuries and suspensions. And Burnley are ONE player short of having to play the game, and that player is now in Newcastle. Hassenhutl is spot on with his comments. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs, the wind, the schedule, the colour of the shirts, the crowd, the lack of crowd, other teams picking weakened sides, it being too wet and any other excuse you can think of. As soon as there was a get out, it was snapped up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turlo Posted 14 January 2022 Share Posted 14 January 2022 How can players be affected by covid if they never had it? They were false positives remember Jurgen, hence they returned straight away after the postponed first leg of the league cup semi final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Matt Posted 14 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 14 January 2022 (edited) Fucking draw a line through the season. It's dead. It's a joke, laughable. Integrity gone. And someone had the guile to question why I claimed this season needed a bigger asterisk next to it than the 2019/20 season. To think people thought the rules would get tougher and less games would get called off come January. Seems easier and more to me.
