Human Rights FC just paid £20M for Chris Wood, must make Dykes value around the £40M mark!

Feck me.......... £20m...... seriously?????? 30 years old 18 months left on his contract no resale value....... they are becoming us circa 2013 quicker than I thought they would.......

Burnley must be laughing all the way to the bank, they'll have a shed load of cash when they relegated this season.........

I am a tad concerned that Burnley might try and get Dykes as a replacement now, sort of player they'd go for perhaps. Can see them going up to 10-12 mill for him, but hopefully not. At least not until the summer

Sweet jesus. Hes a big lad. Worked with him at Leeds many moons ago. A decent outlet, designed for a certain style of play. 20m no way, i would have thought around 5m tops.

If he scores a few to get them to 17th be money well spent

Apparently they paid £25m for him and only a 2-year contract.
Sounds way too much! Money over sense.
As said if he gets them out of relegation it will be considered worthwhile.

As much as I dislike Burnley and Dyche, Woods is a decent target man imo.
In today's market, maybe worth 7.5 million?
I'd take him ahead of Dykes or Gray.
Newcastle are clearly going to try to spend their way out of trouble and will end up paying double or treble what a player is worth.
As we all know, they're going to struggle to find the right players in the January transfer window.

BENFICA are reportedly ready to sell Adel Taarabt after dropping the ex-Queens Park Rangers star from their squad.

The maverick moved to the Portuguese giants in 2015 but only made his debut for them in March 2019 following several loan stints away.

The Benfica playmaker has allegedly been made available for transferCredit: AFP
Former Tottenham and QPR ace went on to remain in Portugal after taking a 30 per cent pay cut.

Now Portuguese news outlet Record claims the 32-year-old Moroccan is available for transfer.

Taarabt was left out of the squad for the recent clash with Moreirense under instruction of boss Nelson Verissimo.

He remains under contract until 2023 but this report states he can leave this month if Benfica receive an acceptable proposal.

After loan spells at Fulham and AC Milan, he moved to Benfica four years ago on a permanent basis from QPR.

Despite signing a five-year contract, the Moroccan international struggled to make an impact and soon found himself relegated to their B-team.

Taarabt was shipped out on an 18-month loan to Italian outfit Genoa in January 2017 before returning the following year.

Taarabt has shown glimpses of his talents throughout his career but has struggled to replicate that form over a long period.

He failed to establish himself at Spurs after joining from Lens.

However he was crowned EFL Player of the Year as he inspired QPR to Premier League promotion in 2011.

Being serious for a minute, it would be a mad signing. But he could probably still do a job. He's only 32 and looks in better shape than when he was last with us (he was fat when last with us!).

The pros:
  • would replace Chair whilst away
  • would likely be a significant improvement on Chair
  • might get a few more goals
  • would put bums in seats
The cons:
  • might disrupt the balance and discipline of the squad, although is probably more mature than he used to be (haven't heard any bad stories about him recent years)
  • might not be the best role model for younger players
  • might not have the motivation or care much (although maybe he would put in extra effort because of the good memories?)
  • is probably too expensive for us

Well if he wants to prove a point he could do it on the cheap. You’re spot on though the squad disruption is a risk we can’t take. Financially speaking we are punching well above, so we have a decent squad and can’t risk it.
