lcfc sheff Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 Wood is 30 years old and going for £20m. Looks like iheanacho is triple that then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torten Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 Wood is getting on a bit, I totally understand why he’d jump at the chance of joining a Champions League club. 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 It's probably the tactic they have to take in the short term but Newcastle are going to be stuck with players on decent contracts that they don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 The release clause is only £20m? Didn't they pay £15m for him? How very strange and that no other club has activated it before given he's pretty decent at this level. Must have only just kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 11 minutes ago, The People's Hero said: Good time to leak the news to Newcastle about Ayoze's £85mn release clause. Put a Decimal between those two numbers and I'd still take it! Nah, to be fair (and I'm probably going to get wrecked for this) I don't think he's been half bad this year. Since we started using him as a bit part player that comes on in the 70th minute, he has put in some half decent performances and done his part for the team. Not the scoring or contributing to goals part, granted but he's played A part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 Apparently Wood and Trippier have the same agent, and after closing the Trippier deal the agent let Newcastle know about Wood’s release clause Burnley gonna be fuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DezFox Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 I think it’s good buy for Newcastle, not amazing but will do job but mainly they are weakening a direct rival. Realistically Newcastle will stay up and Burnley will go down this only helps that cause. Quite clever really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudFox Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 That is a lot of money for a 30 year old. He's a good player though, and as has been said, strengthens Newcastle while weakening a direct rival. Wonder who they will sign to replace him? This also probably means Tarkowski will stay until the summer and leave on a free too. No way can Burnley let him go if they've sold Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirkster the Fox Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 £25 million Wood has been off form for Burnley this season as well. That's a good chunk of money for Burnley to act in this window. Cornet will move up front for them as a no.9 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
