That wasn’t bad business at allThe only bad bits of business so far have been Wood for £25 - May as well have signed Andy Carroll.
Gordon for £40m is questionable like.

They are our bogey team mind. We always seem to struggle at their spot.
We should on paper win. But I think it will be tough.
We gained survival in the PL basically down to the signing of Wood.For £25m quid it was. He was a bog standard target man and we didn't play to his strengths. Stupid signing. We didn't cross any balls into the box when he first came.

We then sold him for £15m ish
Very good business overall
He scored important goals. Not single-handedly but he played a very big part in us staying up. We would not be in the position we are today if we hadn’t signed him. Yes we could have signed someone else, that someone else may be better in later but may have not scored goals and Wood then scores a few important goals for Burnley and it’s us relegated not them.I heard we signed partially to relegate burnley, but we would have survived without him and some other option.
He didn't fit our sides style of play.

Holy moly4 goals in 35 PL games, 2 goals each season. The point is not that he didn't contribute, it's the fact we spent £25m on a player that was mostly crap.
We could have done better for £25m than a 5 goals a season striker. He's not a bad player, but he didn't fit our style, we didn't ever play to a target man's strengths.

We have absolutely no chance tonight. Iv never been so sure about anything in my life. I will eat my hat if we win tonight.
Funnily enough I had weird dreams once about randomly eating clothing and worrying about it's impact on my insides and the pain it would cause.
Would not suggest eating a hat.
