    We didn't play 48 matches this season. If you look at the bottom of his wiki page you'll see the correct stats on the right.

    Wood has a tendancy to play like a donkey. I remember the play offs against watford, wood didnt attempt to chase any balls down nor did he run around to create space. That said, its the premier league, maybe that alone is enough to motivate certain players. I think campbell is a good player with bags of experience, on his day he will do wonders.

    Sign him up.

    According to the Mercury, Wolves are interested in Wood

    Frazier Campbell will be a really good option to bring off the bench, I wanted us to sign a striker similar to Jamie Vardy and with the price tag so cheap, Campbell should do nicely

    Lets just hope he does better then the last Campbell we signed

    Apparently Everton, WBA and QPR are now in the race for him too

    I'd be surprised if Everton or WBA sign him especially Everton. He isn't a great player, just cheap

    He's nowhere near Everton quality.

    He's a great Championship striker and a very mediocre Premier League one, if you got him for £800k it would be cheap, but I suspect that other interest will bump that up a bit.

    Not if it meets his minimum release, only will probably haveto battle it out for his wages, which we are unlikely to do.

    Cardiff have no power over the fee as it meets his relegation release clause

    Been asking around about this, and although I raised the question about it earlier, it would appear that the club does not have to accept the release figure initially offered if a higher one from another club is tabled. It's not down to the player to chose his club - the right remains with the selling club as to which offer it accepts.

    The release clause figure only obligates the selling club to allow the player to talk to any club that triggers it. All things being equal, the decision as to which club the player is sold to remains with the selling club - that is of course subject to the player negotiating his own personal terms. Regardless of any release clause, a player remains under contract with his existing club - he is not a free agent who can pick a club of his choice.

    Relegation release clause mean you have to accept an offer for the price set

    Other then that stupid one in Luis Suarez contract where Arsenal bid £40M+£1 all release clauses say you have to accept that offer

    Not what I've been told, but there you go - you seem to have the finite knowledge as opposed to my and my contact's mere opinions.

    Relegation release clause does not mean you have to accept an offer at the price set at all - once triggered, it merely gives the player the right to talk to the offering club. Are you trying to say that no other club is allowed make a better offer and the player must be sold for the release clause figure?

    The final selling/purchase price will be determined by a combination of the selling/buying club's negotiations coupled with the player's preference which is normally heavily influence by the offered contract terms. If you've got something different in writing, please post it - I'd be very interested.

    Yes that's the whole point of a release clause

    Last time we got relegated we lost Paul Dickov for 150K because of a release clause. He had just scored 14 goals aswell

    No wish to argue with you, but I'm afraid that's not what I've been led to believe.

    The "whole point of a release clause" is not the way you see it. It allows the player the opportunity to talk to a club and move on if the figure is triggered - it does not mean that is all a club has to pay to get him.

    As far as Fraizer is concerned, it appears that Leicester have offered close on £1M rather than the reported £800K trigger - how do you work that one out?

    John Henry has since explained Liverpool were contractually obliged to let Suarez go they just refused! He said he didn't want to sell Torres but the contract meant nothing so he used the same disregard to help Liverpool in that case.
    If Suarez had gone down the legal route I'm sure he could have forced a move.

    In the case of FC and every other release clause it will all depend on the wording surely, if it states we have to release him to a PL club perhaps we could choose a higher bidder. If it states meeting the release means the club must accept the bid surely that means FC picks his destination.

    In Campbells hands now, the only way he'd stay at Cardiff is if he chose to, nothing Cardiff can do about clubs willing to pay his buyout clause.

    He will goto the club that offer him the biggest wages now, my opinion, QPR, Harrys moaned about not having enough strikers all season.
