Seagulls target Chris Wood - £12m - The Sun

[dennis]

For £12 million we could probably get Len and Ashley Barnes back and a lot of people won't agree with me but it would give me more faith than Chris Wood!

I still think it will be someone under the radar before next weekend

 

[Is it PotG?]

Overrated lump. Nope.

Wood, Murray, Hemed and Baldock ( and Brown ) isn't a strikeforce that will keep us in the Championship.

I suspect that we'll need to a play counter attacking style, we're going to be out footballed this season. A fast striker is pretty much essential to that working and whilst Wood is a good "bull in a china shop" type player he's not quick. Unfortunately Hemed and Murray aren't exactly greyhounds either.

It also mentions Nahki Wells, I would be mightly pissed off with that one.

Wagner stated on the Hudds website that he was not sure what will happen to Wells. Wagner said, he requires surgery this week to remove a screw from his ankle that is giving some pain from an ankle operation carried out about six weeks ago.So I can't believe this story.

Whilst Wood is unproven in the PL, it may be a signing that pays off in keeping us safe. If he doesn't score enough goals to do that, at least we know we have an excellent Championship striker if the worst happens!

All this of course assuming the alleged interest has any substance in it.

If this were to happen, although I can't see it myself, it would confirm my gut feeling that CH isn't prepared to to make any marquee signings from abroad.

It's like looking forward to your holiday all year only to find out when you get there, your hotel is still under construction.

New player budget nearly exhausted ?

Still gun shy after that expensive fella failed at Norwich you reckon?

Poyet should have bought him at the time of his loan with us. I always though he had potential, would have been a lot cheaper back then too!

He was pants with us. And he's only had one good season. No thanks

Is this a joke?

Yonks ago someone posted a thread listing all of CH's transfer dealings, that was the underling theme.

So much so in fact the signing of Ricky Van Winkie looked like someone else made it, although we all know CH is far to classy to say so.

Knockaert, Skalak, Gross and Suttner (amazingly) are loose change signings.
Ryan so far is the outlier, but then again the argument can be made he's someone else's signing if Roberts really really wanted him. (see above)

Christ that would be a waste of money and I'm sure it's rubbish anyway.Don't like spending big on what is likely to be a one off great season in the championship.

 

[HCxUK]

Won't happen. Leeds will want more than we are prepared to pay. He's pivotal to their chances of getting promoted, and they are really going for it this season.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

No thanks

Hemed on his way perhaps,at say 5ml.......Then it makes more sense......But not much !

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Nope, I just can't comment again. Life's far too short to get into a slanging match with those of you who want wake up with wood
