Neil_LCFC Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Attracting a lot of attention, Never really clicked here for him after his electric start. Maybe we should have persisted a bit more. http://www.espnfc.com/story/3039832/west-ham-and-sunderland-target-chris-wood-valued-at-15-million-sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 I work with a big Leeds fan and he loves him but admits he is a very limited player. He is not mobile at all but is a decent finisher. I think he is a system player, i.e. if you play to his strengths he will score goals but I don't think he will have ever worked here with the way we play. £15m seems excessive, I think the championship is his level.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 He was one of our best finishers at the time he was here. Leeds is a great club for him, and on the point of Leeds, doing very well under Monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe's Fox Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Put the ball into his feet and he'll do alright. For a big bloke he's rarely dominant in the box. A better version of that type of player is someone like Rondon who has more pace and is more clinical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeTheFox Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Liked him when he was here and think he could possibly do a job in the prem (Only 24 i think?). But 15mil reeks of desperation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Maintain what I've always said about him, decent finisher but little else, in the right team he will get you goals but don't expect anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Watched his last few games and he is exactly the same as when he was with us. A great finisher, but very limited in other areas. I think Championship is his top level personally and think he would struggle in the Premier League. 15 million is crazy and will soon plummet when he goes through a dry spell. Good age though and a very useful striker to have in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Yeah, fantastic to see him doing so well and never quite got the staunch dislike of him that swathes of our fans seemed to, I've never seen someone so tall offer so little in the air, though. Bar his first couple of games I can never recall him actually jumping for anything or winning aerial duels. Perhaps he's come on no end at Leeds but I honestly can't ever see him being a 'double figures in the Prem' striker. A bit like Daryl Murphy or Jordan Rhodes. Just something missing the likes of Deeney, Austin, and Gray all had / have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterborofox Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Very good championship player. Rated him here but another one a victim of our success. Does he win more headers and flick ons nowadays? Biggest weakness of his game when with us. Poor in air for a big guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 He's pretty much doing the old addage - give someone regular game time and he will improve/ grow as a player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firegrande Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Pleased for him One of the best finishers we had when he was here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Anyone else think that if he was scoring the goals he has this season for any other team in that league (even us when we were at that level), 15m wouldn't be the price tag being thrown around? Leeds always seem to get decent players linked away for big big money moves. I remember when Liam Moore looked good for us in the Championship I think it was Arsenal that were linked with him for just a few mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy boxing Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 He was just a player on a purple patch and an amazing scoring run when we signed him!. very limited in his ability. the Championship is his level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 I just remember him leaning backwards into the defender every time the ball came to him above knee height, and the defender would just nick it off him. His hold up play was dogshit. Good finisher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
