Not disagreeing, I think Wood is a good prospect, but there is a reason why Gus didn't go back. Maybe we knew we were priced out. I am sure he is on a very hefty wedge at Leicester

Its easier for an agent to push for a high signing on fee if transfer is cheap due to a short / no contract.

Fee was relative to his contract state though. His agent would have pushed for a high signing on fee, wages etc. Look at Leicesters wages to turnover ratio and try to tell me they are not paying massive wages.

Gus has implied it was Ken Brown that blocked this. We had a transfer budget, we had a wage budget, he could not take some transfer money, and put it in the wage pot. We could not match what Palace offered. This was a problem he has now sorted out with the board.
