Seems a lot of the English fans are very 50/50 on this transfer. My only concern is how he'll play in a different system as Burnley has a very clear system that Wood fits in really well and has been playing for years so will be interesting to see how they use him and if he adjusts to it well.
I think he’ll go well. Should get better service from Trippier and co
Plus a tonne of experience in the UK, and I presume Leeds had a different system to Burnley, where he couldn’t stop scoring a tier down
Fresh challenge and maybe he needs that after a few years at Burnley around basically same players and coach
Good luck understanding the Geordie locals
Yeh my feeling is that the system hasn’t been suiting him or Burnley quite as well this year. No Barnes. The defense not as impregnable. Bits and pieces of luck. Players not quite finding form.
He’s got more in his locker than he’s shown- it would be great to see it at Newcastle.
I’ll be a bit worried if the whole plan is Trippier crosses, but I don’t think it is.
