A few weeks ago I would have definitely said he is going nowhere. But that miss in the FA Cup loss to Sheffield Wednesday was a bad one, and seems some of the fans haven't forgiven him yet.
Also what of the Garang Kuol factor. Now over the border at Hearts on loan. Debuted against St Mirren on the weekend, though not in match day squad against Aberdeen overnight (Hearts won 5-0, Cam Devlin with 5th goal).
But is Kuol looking good is training? Adapting fast to the UK scene? I'm sure Hearts are talking to Newcastle all the time. He's a genuine talent.
Could Kuol return to Tyneside from his loan at season end, and overtake Wood in the pecking order? Plus there are always going to be rumours about cashed up Newcastle chasing this big name or another. And if they qualify for the UCL, that will make them a shark load more attractive for any ambitious striker. The Woodsman's days wearing black & white stripes may well be numbered.
