It hasn't 'worked' for us yet but it has for plenty of others.

I was hoping as much as any Albion fan it would work out with CMS but clearly wasn’t mean't to be!... I think the whole transition of different managers etc really didnt help! Shame though as I still think it could have worked in a different scenario!
I suppose Leicester shouldn't have bought Vardy
Leicester also had David Nugent, Chris Wood and Harry Kane when they bought Vardy. We need a proven Championship forward to partner Murray, it's one of the last pieces of the jigsaw along with a CB to achieve promotion.

No doubt BG suggested him months ago.

He had two full seasons under Poyet? I think his inability to control a ball did for him at this level

I think I'll wait for official confirmation (no disrespect to the OP) before writing him off as a no hoper

Does this potential signing whet your appetite then?

Chris Wood and Harry Kane were non entities at Leicester, Murray is our Nugent equivalent.

Our recent record of signing lower division strikers suggests he would perform quite as well as that.I suppose Leicester shouldn't have bought Vardy

Better to be optimistic rather than write him off before he has even signed (if we are really interested).

It is patently ridiculous to claim that just because CMS and Baldock didn't work out for us we may as well not try again because it never will.

In a relegated team and I believe his first full season after being signed from non league.
Wood wasn't a non entity in the first season or two, he was never close to making it in the Prem but was decent for them in this division. I just think it's incredibly risky, I think everyone acknowledges we need a nippy forward to partner Murray but with Kayal and Stephens out the door if we don't achieve promotion I think proven is the way to go.

NOT saying this is 100% done deal but the sauce is at least a 8/10!
To be honest he is just the kind of striker we need and within a respectable price range.
Actually, you are saying that. Your opening post...
"Won't go in to detail but I think it's a done deal."
Weird one if true. He looks like Baldock. Neat and tidy but no great pace, average size, etc.

True but I guess most of us were hoping from someone who had done well at this level or above. He may of course be amazing.
