Seagulls target Chris Wood - £12m - The Sun

[Blue Valkyrie]

Hemed is 30 though in he last year of his contract and unlikely to sign a new one by the looks of it.

Interesting new info.

 

[Don Tmatter]

He has been trailing this on his twitter for the last four or five days,without giving a name, saying he would name the player in today's paper.
Also said that the striker will be one of three this week.

And also mentioned a change of policy recruitment wise, hence the 'belatedly' comment.

And on over 100k a week...............

How much is Wood going to want then?

 

[Stat Brother]

Putting aside Wood I do find it odd how cheap posters are happy for Hemed to go for.

Poor man's Hemed, and not even worth mentioning in the same breath as Murray.

Let's see how many goals Wood gets this year, I bet it won't be as many as last season.

I thought we wanted to stay in the Premierwotsit this year, not assemble a Championship promotion squad for next year.

Good.

The kind of signing you'd want as a statement of intent in terms of trying to win the Championship. We are looking for a bigger fish (one hopes).

This 100%. Had one good season and then is touted about for stupid money like McCormack was

Naylor says no

Usually disappoints me. But on this occasion I'm glad for Mr Naylors interjection.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Do the club really give positive or negative responses to the local paper's chief sports reporter on transfer rumours when he asks?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Naylor says no

While still offering zero information on who we are chasing. Sports reporter extraordinaire.

One of three strikers or one of three signings?

 

[boik]

£12 mill is about right, but only if you want a player to get you out of the Championship, which I think he could do for one or two clubs. No evidence he has the quality for the Prem - I'd much rather have had Abraham.

And Tammys premier league experience is what exactly?

Being owned by a PL club and having been in a PL teams system for quite a while? I'm sure TA has trained with plenty of PL players over the years.

Like Akpom ? Or Wilson you mean ?

He never really makes it clear, but I imagine three signings

Leon Best certainly learned from his PL spell at Newcastle.

I personally agree with what Adam Virgo said on Twitter - Woods is too similar to Hemed and Murray.
We need a player that is going to stretch defences and can finish limited chances, whilst also having Prem experience.
That player: Danny Ings.
I personally feel we should go to Liverpool and negotiate a loan-to-buy for the season. This would protect us from buying a player who's coming back from two serious injuries. Plus Danny Ings gets to prove his fitness and form again.
£12 million should tempt The Reds into a deal. Doubtful Ings has a future at Liverpool especially now Solanke has has a good pre-season with them. Surely 4th/5th choice striker for them now.
