Transfer Rumour Ben Brereton Diaz

[davek]

Every forward we have is better than Chris Wood. Bar maybe Rondon, who is about on par with.

That's not true.

1 goal every 2 game at Leeds; 1 goal in every 3 games at Burnley. Been eclipsed at Newcastle by expensive imports.

Hed be a good target man for us.

 

[davek]

Genuinely worse than your Mark Albrighton shout.

Really?

 

[davek]

Ah Dave, come on, give us a break.just when I was beginning to look forward to Rondon going in the Summer, you come up with his replacement. At his best, a journeyman bottom half striker, but, soon to be 31. Ring any bells?

He's what we need: cheap and available and will get goals with service.

Goals keep you up, not Coady and Tarkowski.

That's kind of a bit of an issue though.

 

[davek]

What makes you think a player of Chris Wood's calibre would want to join us?

I'll take it you're being serious and say that he's not getting his game up there and would relish a challenge.

Really?

I think it’s the worst shout in the history of this forum. Newcastle fans think he’s one of their worst ever signings, I saw one of them say he looked like a centre back playing up front.

If you have no target man then it's hard for wingers / wing backs to see the sense of crossing into the box.

...good, so we can get him on loan.

Or we could buy a decent striker.

 

[davek]

Can always.. look outside the league?

Yes...if we had a scouting network worthy of the name.

 

[davek]

Or we could buy a decent striker.

...who...and what cash will there be for that?

 

[MikeH72]

I would sooner loan Nketiah or Broja than bloody Chris Wood.

 

[davek]

You are like saying we are heading for another relegation battle is that it ? Me I am trying to be positive not negative like you.

We are if the club dont ditch the idea that Maupay and DCL can get us enough goals.

I get that but our wingers can't cross the ball past the first man most of the time, we need better and we need someone up top.

 

[Nymzee]

We are if the club dont ditch the idea that Maupay and Dominic Calvert-Lewin can get us enough goals.

But you think Chris Wood will.
