It’s so odd. 

10 goals in a season is a reasonable season for a PL striker. 

If he gets on a run, he gets 8 in a month, month and a half. 

But equally he could go this season not even living on scraps and getting very little.

That Delap signing is a club record. It seems unlikely Wood is keeping him out. And Jesus has been quietly reliable imo. Wood needs to be your 9 and have everything built around him. He’s not able to play wide, but perhaps he can play a front two. And Glasner likes a rampaging 9, as well as someone good in the box. Mateta. 

Wood has had injury problems and is heavily associated with a previous coach and not with the current coach or DoF. 

But once he gets going he’s a clinical striker at Premier League level. 

Hard to say. He could get 15, he could get 1. Glasner certainly doesn’t trust him yet.

You feel he brings something to the team in experience and leadership, but…
