£20m for Chris Wood!!
Not really the big name Newcastle fans were hoping for.

Strange one that, Dyche doesn't even start him most weeks.

Robbo · 11 Jan 2022 at 19:14

I think he's a guarantee of some goals, but not the most exciting signing...

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Jan 2022 at 19:15

I wouldn't class him as a signing to help the team on the pitch, more a signing to help shirts sales in New Zealand.

C Kent · 11 Jan 2022 at 19:19

Hardly a signing to helping fire your way to premier League survival, not that I'm complaining mind you.

I would prefer to spend the £20m on Diaz at Blackburn, £20m for a 30 year old Chris wood is ******* ridiculous

Couple more quid and youd get Origi.

robfosters · 11 Jan 2022 at 19:24

The only plus point is it slightly weakens a relegation rival

He doesn’t really play him, so it doesn’t really weaken them

JamesH85 · 11 Jan 2022 at 19:32

That deal is absolutely insane. Jesus wept.

Kylian Mbappe is licking his lips at the prospect of playing off Chris Wood isnt he.

omnomnom · 11 Jan 2022 at 20:22

Looks like its actually 25 mil. Silly money

He's played 22 games in total this season clocking in at 1,500mins around 70mins playing average.

That’s even worse then, I just saw 3 goals in 17 appearances

Stupid money and stinks of a panic buy

JamesH85 · 11 Jan 2022 at 20:46

That is an awful deal and a pure panic buy. Stinks of desperation.

Andybtsn · 11 Jan 2022 at 20:52

Salah, Kane, Vardy, Lacazette, Son and Wood, the only Prem League players to have scored 10 or more goals in each of the last four seasons.

He will do what Joelinton couldn't up top, physical presence, holds it up and can finish.

Maundie · 11 Jan 2022 at 20:53

Jesus wept, surely this isn't the signing Newcastle fans were expecting when the Saudi's took over, even Ashley didn't hate the Newcastle fans that much that he'd sign Chris Wood

Double figure PL striker.

We currently have no Strikers fit and our best when fit can't last 2 months.

No one is selling in January

It's not an exciting transfer but it's a pretty decent option to have. Heck he's walks straight into our starting 11.
