so if he goes for 15 mill and Cambridge, Hamilton, West Bromwich, Leicester are his previous clubs, they all stand to get a quarter of 750 thou which is 187,500 pounds. Which is $NZ337,500. Which ain't bad.

West Brom can pay themselves given they are one of the seven ..... apparently.

This is a really good piece on Chris Wood:
I think it was from forum for one of his former clubs but I always remember him being described as a poacher trapped in a target man's body.
The other aspect of this that the article doesn't go into is that Hudson isn't just using Wood wrong, he's using our other attacking talents (Rojas, Thomas especially) wrong as well.
Huddersfield just forked out 10 mill squids to Man C for Mooy ( more than City paid to buy Melbourne so some profit made there!) So is our Chris next?

I remember watching Wood come on late against Bahrain and carve up with interchange passing with Mikey. And then again against Italy. The one thing Ricki did well, with assistants help, was to adapt his plan to that of the players in the team. We had bulky strikers (and Smeltz playing off them really!), and Elliot to ping balls into them. We had a good defence and a good keeper.
I really like that analysis.
How should we play with our smaller, nippier players?

From Sky Sports:
Chris Wood has no plans to leave Leeds United next season and is looking forward to working with new boss Thomas Christiansen.
He said: “It was a great season last season, both personally and for the team. We put Leeds back on the map, which was a great thing for the club.
“We’ve done fantastically well as a team and as a unit. It’s a great appointment of the new manager, an exciting new manager who did well last season. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can offer in pre-season and we go from there.”
Making the higher ups happy, or is he genuine? I'm nervous because the reason Wood scored so many is because Monk channeled everything through Wood, dunno if it will be the same now

- Leeds have slapped a new £20m price tag on Chris Wood to ward off Premier League suitors. (Daily Mirror)
Has he been scoring in pre season?

Scored in a 4-2 loss to Eibar, got 45 vs Bursaspor, didn't feature against the smaller English sides, so easing him back into it it seems
Swansea are keen according to BBC
Geez the look on Chris's face wouldn't have me rushing down to buy a shirt!

See Leeds strongly linked with Negrado - dunno if they'd need two "target man" type strikers - a sign Wood is on the way?

As a LUFC and NZ sport fan I like it a lot. Will also help to keep the players warm up north during the winter.

LEEDS REJECT £16M WOOD OFFER
Leeds have rejected a bid of £16m for striker Chris Wood, according to Sky sources.
The offer is from an unnamed Premier League club.
One source has told us this evening that Burnley have also had a £12m bid rejected for the player, although we understand this latest offer is not from the Clarets.
Burnley have yet to confirm they have made a bid.
From Sky Sports UK
Looks like Burnley is still keen on signing him. It would be great to see Chris get a regular starting spot in an EPL team with a manager who believed in him.
Another 0-0 draw for Leeds, this time versus Fulham.

Great article by Sky Sports here
Looks like he's going to Burnley - £15million plus add-ons

So back to championship next year lol
Who knows? I hope he does well.
Who knows? I hope he does well.
I'm sure all NZ football fans hope he goes well.
Whilst it's great to have Reid flying Kiwi flag in EPL, would be fantastic to see Wood being a regular starting striker in Prem League, and banging in a few goals. Whole different sense of joy & excitement. Fingers crossed
You are assuming that Leeds would actually sell him. He has 2 more years on his contract and Leeds desperately want to get promotion, so might try and hold onto him for another season before looking to cash in. They would get far more cash from getting promoted than by selling him.
From "Stuff" - English media are reporting that All Whites striker Chris Wood is heading back to the Premier League.
According to The Mirror the 25-year-old has agreed to join Burnley in a deal worth more than $26.3 million, although there has been no confirmation from Burnley or his current club Leeds United.
Wood has been hotly pursued by a host of clubs during the current transfer window after scoring 30 goals in all competitions for Leeds during the 2016-17 season, and it is being reported that Burnley have won the race for the big Kiwi, hoping that the Hamilton product can replace Andre Gray, who recently joined Watford.
Burnley finished 16th in the Premier League last season, only narrowly avoiding relegation.
I'm goina tell them not to .
