Current Players Thread
Wood provides an alternative, what Cooper needs to decide is what that alternative is and make sure the team can adapt.
I'm happy with Wood as a 3rd choice next year, as long as they find a left footed Awoniyi/Davies clone.

Wouldn't read too much into that. At the moment it *was* his last game for us. Doesn't mean we can't strike a deal with Atlético though - plenty time to make it happen if all parties want to.

Doesn't particularly look like he wants to stay based on that. Didn't he say he hadn't seen his new born child. Might not want to relocate to the UK if his family don't want that.

I'm sure he'd move here if it was purely based on football terms.

Yeah I think family reasons will be the stumbling block if there is one.

I thought as much when he was crying at the CG last week.

To risk a backlash, I like Lodi and think he’s a very good player but for £25m or so, there’s a lot of alternative choices out there who might actually be better.

We might even have one already on the books if it isn’t really a bone disease and is only a contractual issue as our site boss implies.

Noticed photo on Twitter this morning with all the staff and playing squad at the academy. Injured Wood present but no Shelvey.

Wondering if these rumours doing the rounds are true and the training ground bust up was a ruse?

Not a great deal as Newcastle overpaid but I have a feeling this was history repeating itself in that we needed to stop others (Everton) strengthening in January - I’m sure Dyche and Everton were in for some sort of deal for him…we top trumped them.
He will prove useful next year I’m sure - and worst case we will recoup some on a desperate team come January.

At last a sensible opinion.

Perhaps you missed my post Paps? If not, can you tell me what our approximate budget will be for next year and what percentage of that we will be spending on Wood?

Maybe they were still in the treatment room?

Or SC let them go home to Brazil early?

The rumour is Shelvey headbutted a member of the bar staff at a pub in Caythorpe and also
used homophobic slurs. This is rumoured to have happened a couple of weeks before the Liverpool game away and CCTV evidence been collected by the club. Doubtful he will ever play for the club again of true.
