Excellent news. Welcome Chris!
.
if true....and Wood now plays for us - I should be excited....Wow - we bagged a big goalscorer from the Championship, Happy Days.
.....problem is - I don't yet feel anything positive.....he poached loads last season - and from what i've seen, was allowed into a goalscoring position unchecked for most of them....poor defending. Will he get away with that at this level ?
So...other than wait for the ball near goal - what else can he do - what of his other skills....I Dont Know - so can only wait to be amazed by his 20+ goals to come.

....oh there's a positive Alto - Wood has better ball control than Gray had !!!
....and even so, many still complained that Gray didn't get fed the perfect ball....there's a problem - you make play around a poacher, then there's more fail area around the (obvious) target - can stop the balls getting to them and/or stop them from getting the ball.
But the more skill a player has....the more unexpected, less obvious and full of surprise he is - balls can come in from anywhere - or they can take them in themselves....makes special from nothing - and harder for any team to defend against....is the the preferred option, Imho.
....also hope were still looking at an Andone or the like - not going to end our goal hunt with Wood I hope.

I told you all on Tuesday that this deal was going to happen.
It's not like you did not have time to prepare yourselves for the arrival of a twenty goal a season international striker.
Mighty Leeds done again!![]()
He has the will. He has the character. He has the skill. He knows where the net is and he wanted to come to Burnley.
I'm glad he is here and I wish him all of the very best.![]()
Gray knew where the net was in the championship but lost his sat nav in the PL- Wood is un-proven in the PL and so is a thumbs down from me at that price.. Hope he doesbt turn out to be another Hennings.......
