Paddock Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 No, not good enough in any way shape or form. My head would fall off if we signed him I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 http://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-eye-swoop-leeds-striker/ No. His first touch is slightly better (only slightly) than Rom's but he has no pace. He is not brilliant in the air for a big lad. He has improved under Monk this season. Last season he used to lumber about the field at little more than walking pace, easy to defend against. This season he is working harder and actually breaking into a run. He is a goal poacher and a lot of his goals are from within the six yard box. He is very strong and defenders find it difficult to knock him off the ball. Good Championship player, don't think he would crack it in the Premiership.

c1982 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 He's already looked out of his depth in this league for West Brom and Leicester so a big NO from me. He's another Rhodes, Gestede, Gayle, McCormack, Nugent etc who looks great in the Championship but that's their level. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Did someone read Btay's post and then make a rumour up?! Haha I'm clearly running the papers. I'd have him. People wanted Austin with bang average knees because he's a goal scoring option, so is this lad. 15m is a bit steep for what I'd want to pay though.

captainbeaker Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I would have him as a backup, good finisher, nice to have on bench. Need a main striker first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Would've been a good signing back when we were debating Straq vs Anichebe up front, but there is no point in bringing someone like Wood in. Is clearly inferior to our other forwards and doesn't offer any desirable dimension to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbeaker Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 He's still only 25 and obviously improving and at 6ft 3 offers something different to our other forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 He was 5th choice at Leicester for a reason. Looking at Leicester rejectd I'd rather go for Kramaric, looked good for Hoffenheim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 15 million. There's another yardstick when you hear a price and think that's madness. Remember Burnley paid 15 million for Woods then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 He's looked a decent player whenever I've seen Leeds. Maybe not top level, but he is a handful. Think he'll do well for Burnley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Woods had a better season for Leeds last season. The season before he was nowhere near being Premiership material, but last season he worked harder, found a little bit of pace (faster than his jog previously). For a big lad he is not good in the air and most of his goals are 'poached' inside the six yard box. Big unit though (typical Kiwi) and does put himself about a bit. I think he will be a bench player for Burnley, coming on for Vokes in the last 20 minutes and filling in when Vokes is injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I saw Wood coming on for Newcastle earlier and it dawned on me that we’d probably be better off now if we’d signed him in 2017 when we were linked… he probably wouldn’t have been our main striker all the time but at least he’d have been a ‘reliable’ option. After this realisation I made myself a refreshing bleach cocktail and feel much better again now. Sibdane, MikeO and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
