Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Wood not in the 18 and has made an statement ruling himself out of the game today due to "strong premier league interest " and discussions with the club

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
What he has posted (in my opinion) is a disgrace
He currently gets paid to play for Leeds.
Wonder if he will pay back his wages for the week?
Burnley are a small fry club so goodbye and good riddance and thanks for the one season of goals.
Onwards and upwards
Only want players here who want to play for the club.
Also won't here the 'If you were offered twice the money to do the same job you'd take it'
Yes I would but he earns more in 2 weeks than I do in a year and more in a year than I probably do.in the majority of my lifetime.

That statement from Wood comes straight out of the Charlie Taylor lack of class manual .
Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Invest the money in a hungry striker...... feel for those kids who have got his name on their shirt for this season.
We cant compete on the money front . Lets move on . We moaned when we lost Beckford and Becchio but got McCormack and Wood.
Someone will step up .

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Could save all those shirts for bonfire night... How long do you reckon Wood will be the face of the official twitter site? 6 months?

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Not sad to see lumpa go, never been a fan. We do need a striker but on another note having Becchio as a perhaps pay per play player with a bonus for scoring would be rather nice :luv: He's been in York and Leeds over the last couple of days as per his instagram pics via Twitter, he has never shied away from proclaiming his love of Leeds, I say BRING BECCHIO HOME!!!
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.
Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Chris Wood, is a good player. He had a fantastic season last year. He has been away playing with New Zealand over the summer and has little rest, he will be called up to play international football at least four times during the year to travel across the globe, fatigue will be a massive factor, I was worried about the season ahead for him, as nobody can keep all that up.
He will be missed and ideally he would stay, but it's better now than deadline day.
I personally can't begrudge him the move, sad that it's a club like Burnley, but they are in a higher division, can't see how he can turn it down, if Leeds are happy with the price, as for not playing today, would you really want a player leading the line who's heads not in it?
TC would have made Ekuban feel 10 feet tall coming up to him today telling him your my man to play upfront. Great man management!
I'm excited.

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
I would not want McCormack but I would consider big Mat Smith as a returning striker
I think he was treated rather shabbily when shipped off to Fulham. I think he plies his trade
at QPR at the moment. What do you think?

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
I agree with your sentiments dezzy.
He did well for us, wants to take Burnley's shekel and we should let him go without rancour.
The same process is going on all over the leagues until cutoff date so it's just a normal adjustment.
Personally I think AR's 'Director of Football' system seems to be working at least somewhat - it;s probably early days to say that yet, but we've certainly got a couple of cracking footballers for a low cost. Long may they do well for us. If we can get a decent CF or CB (or both) for the money from Wood's sale, we could be even stronger.
On the plus side also is the gate money. Thirty thousand average for the first 2 home games - 1 of them on a Tuesday. ER's beginning to rock again if we can keep this up. MOT

I wasn't to bothered about wood not being in the squad when I saw ekuban up front. What I've seen of the lad he looks like alright. But then he hobbles off injured today, so we are looking very weak up top!

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Nélson Oliveira for me, wanted the Cardiff lad but think the more mobile, technically gifted Oliviera would be perfect

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
I'm sure AR has been working on a replacement for Wood for a while now.
I'm also sure he won't rush to buy someone just for the sake of buying someone. Based on today's results I think we'll be fine going forward either way.

Re: If Wood Goes . . .
Todays result proved we have other options, but Oliveira looks good and it would be good to have an out-and-out striker.
Re: If Wood Goes . . .
I don't know what to think about Matt Smith or Becchio, but I note that a lot of people have said 'never go back' when I once proposed Beckford and they may well have been correct. I think the answer has to be NO, not because they could not do a good job in and of themselves, but the team is not the same team in which they played and excelled. We seem to have an exciting system going and we cannot jeopardise that by reintroducing players from an earlier era who would have a different style of play and need a different knid of management.
I'm sorry if people think I'm wrong, but this is just an opinion, which could well be wrong!
