Bugger me, he was apparently a bloody revelation today...why on earth did he slip through our fingers twice?

More accurate question why did WBA let him go, especially for reported around 2m.

Yes, he slipped through the net when we didn't even make a move !!

Being linked to a player and making an offer are different things.

He did'nt slip through our fingers. Wood did not enjoy his time on loan here.

Leicester look awesome at the moment. As things stand I'd say they look most likely to get 2nd

Leicester are paying him well. Lets judge him at the end of the season as he can be a bit hit and miss.

He must've improved a lot. He was never bad but never that amazing for us imo

Poyet was asked why he didn't get Wood back on loan from West Brom, his answer was that he wasn't given the opportunity. West Brom made all the decisions.

He had only just turned 18! Just a kid. I have always backed him to be a top player in the Heskey mould, rated him as a top youngster when he was here.

True. I never rated him that much tho - Had one of those unfootballer like flat foot saddles / running style Had the pleasure of sitting next to him and Bridders at sponsors dinner few yrs back and he was a genuinely nice down to earth lad (easy to forget how young he was).

Perhaps Gus's judgement carries more weight around the club than yours does. Maybe next time you rate a player you should contact Tony Bloom and tell him about how you feel we cocked up by not buying a player you thought we should and not to miss out again. Or maybe you could leave it the profesionals.

He scored 3 today, but it's not like they were fantastic finishes. I don't think he has any more in his locker than Hoskins does, and I don't think he benefits from a passing game either. Playing well atm tho, fair play to the lad.

That's the key point for me really. There's more to signing a player than Poyet saying "Hi Steve, I want Chris Wood" BANG, he's a Brighton player. Plus I imagine Leicester are paying him something pretty special at the moment.
