You've not been reading the script man, new concept - they get 1 game to impress then we just buy a new **** target man for £25m
He will be and IF that is the aim here - pre buying players to do a job next year it's not as bad as it seems but at the price we've paid no matter how you slice it - it's a complete and utter **** up but it'd be just about stomach-able. Personally I'd rather have gone for a young up and coming striker from a Championship club or bought Armstrong and Mitrovic home for the same fee we'd have paid for Wood!
We got wood for three reasons. Our scout Nickson recommended him to Bruce who said no. They identified he was available for 25m. He wanted a final big contract and Burnley couldn’t match our wages offer. I wish we had signed the Chile lad from Blackburn. I reckon they would have accepted £25m.
