I wish Chris Wood would let go of his ambition to stay at the very top until 35+. There is never an international window when he is fully fit, hasn't been for years, and the All Whites suffer for it. 

He can't achieve more than he already has, just maintaining that level for a couple years is all he can hope for. He must be preposterously wealthy by now, there's no way he can't be set for life. Why wouldn't he want to head to an environment like the A-League where the smaller number of games helps him prolong his career, and give him the best chance possible for himself and for NZ to be successful at the '26 World Cup, and where his presence would make a profound difference, rather just being one of many excellent but not quite "world class" strikers in the PL. He wouldn't even just be a boost to the Nix or Auckland FC, it would be huge for the game in NZ and for the whole of the A-League. 

Maybe he needs all the extra money to spend on horses. What a fudgeing waste. 

You are basically asking the Woodsman to give up $10M a season or whatever Forest pay him, because you are unhappy he's missing a few AWs friendlies. Lets be honest barring some big upsets, the AWs are likely to get 3 games at the next WC, and that will be their lot. Wood playing in the less taxing ALM as opposed to the EPL, ain't  going to change that probability at all.

Then aside to the big cash, there is also the career satisfaction aspect for the Woodsman. You get the feeling he loves playing in the EPL, and everything he was doing in the EFL lower levels earlier, was with the aim of cracking agruably the world's biggest league. He will rightly take enormous pride in having scored 63 goals at that level. A few months back he got a high quality hat trick in front of 52,000 fans at St James Park. He's probably still partly pumped from that game. What a buzz it would have been. Why come the ALM, when you are still capable of huge days like that, watched by millions around the world.

He seems a bit driven by records (he's made mention of most AWs goals & caps stats). 100 EPL goals is unlikely, but yeah I can see him playing at that level as long as he can. All power to him.
