Footballers frequently look a sight in mufti. Too much money and not enough taste - though presumably this particular get-up would have been chosen for him.
Looks like he was dressed by an explosion in Primark.So why does he have boots on his feet and around his neck?
Especially since he doesn't look dressed to play football in the first place. Seems a bit excessive.
It's also difficult availability. Who wants to join Newcastle? Potential relegation and even years off any type of competing. All the while in the limited January transfer window, they probably couldn't do any better.
Not sure what Burnley are doing though.
£20m for Chris Wood. Newcastle got more money than sense. I guess it weakens Burnley unless they use it to go and actually buy a decent striker

Eddie Howe has beef with BurnleyMaybe they plan to use him to get more out of ASM and Wilson? Target man that can help play them in?
Agree it's ridiculous, could have got Origi for that![]()

They sacked him
That purchase is just to send Burnley down
Can't see them being that petty and I think Burnley would be laughing at that too, they can get better than Wood with £20m
Given their injury records, that's unlikely to be the case for too many more games this season.Maybe they plan to use him to get more out of ASM and Wilson? Target man that can help play them in?

At least he would probably stay around if they get relegated.
Maybe, but I think most of their injuries come from just running don't they?I was thinking of their injuries; get Wood to do their donkey work and let Wilson / AMS to concentrate on attacking

Chris wood and Phil Jones. Interesting recruitment going on at the toon. Suddenly got load of money and given it to a guy that doesn’t know how to recruit properly.
They signed Phil Jones...?
Being linked with him now apparently.
