What if the Albion became £1.2m + wages short for the target they are actually after.
The club 'not going for him' is only a problem if the club doesn't go for anyone.

That was only the sum I was seeing on Foxestalk, the same levels of ITK as here it would seem. 1.2 makes it look even crazier that we haven't had a good long look ourselves (if we haven't).

We've paid 500K for a player who scored 15 goals last season.

That's cup goals aswell i presume as he's down as 11 goals in 40 odd appearances last season,hasn't scored more than 11 since his Hamilton days.I agree he's young,but he's quiet a lazy type player.
Will be interested to see how he does next season
and how much did he want a week?
To me the only true way of valuing a player is looking at his FULL signing on costs, his wages whilst with you and YOUR income from the sale. You then have a price and can look at the less rigid aspects such as goals scored or contribution made, trophies won etc.
Too often you hear, great new we got
?? on a free, yes but at £25k a week and his been injured for 26 weeks, which just happened to coincide with most of the season!

Too slow, too similar a player to COG

IMHO COG will turn out better for us than that lump of Wood.
I love how a player can be elevated to "Championship-beater" status and "the player we need", simply by signing for someone else...
He's decent, but I'm not going to cry over missing out on him. I'm certain there are plenty more fish in the sea.

Barnes = Wood > CMS = Ulloa

Apparently turned down Wolves. Worth us putting in an offer?

My view is the fee is pretty ordinary because of the wage he is on. I guess he is on something around £20k to £25k a week and that Wolves are not prepared to go near that. Neither in my view should we.

You really haven't got a clue have you.
For his size he is pretty mobile, scored two good goals for Millwall against us a couple of seasons ago I seem to remember. He is still young and developing as a striker but of course he will never be as good as COG. Unbelievable!

Wood is obviously better than COG. He isn't the Ulloa replacement we need though. Had we not signed COG then he would be feasible as the big man option but not at the 20+ grand a week he is on at Leicester. The transfer fee is, in my opinion, much less of an issue as his value is highly unlikely to depreciate significantly across a 3-4 year deal. If I am honest, I am a little surprised that we signed COG but having done so we don't need another player of that sort of level. We need class.

COG is our replacement for Barnes, Wood wouldnt replace Ulloa so no contest.
