To be fair to Wood he's averaged a goal every three games for Burnley in the Premier League, which is not to be sniffed at. He'll also probably give them 100% week in week out, which is something they are severely lacking. This season he's got 3 goals in 21 appearances for Burnley. 15 in 58 if you include last season aswell. if Saturday is anything to go by, that is more down to his team mates than himself.

It's a strange 1, will be interesting to see what the Newcastle fans thoughts are on it, relegation planning? Building a promotion team for next season?.

The reported £20m fee is way over the top for Wood but Newcastle are desperate. There were crosses galore coming in from both sides of the pitch in their last game but nobody on the end of them, they’ll be hoping he can get do double figures for them assuming the service is decent.

Not at all imho - they just need to stay up then release the significant funding in the summer to attract better talent to start their inevitable rise a la Citeh! They have to stay up this year though and unless Dyche has a rabbit in his hat I cant see where their goals to stay up come from without Wood. They were truly awful against us last weekend. Likely to take a number of years for the Geordies but as with life in general money usually talks.

They know they cannot recruit top players just yet, just like I suspect they know Howe isn't long term either. I suspect both Howe & now Wood are "phase 1" i.e "try to avoid relegation if at all possible, however, they'll be good for getting us straight back up worst case scenario".
It's all very well having tons of money but the players they want won't come right now, hence Trippier & Wood wanting one last big pay day, they'll still piss it in the Championship though.

Likely to take a number of years for the Geordies but as with life in general money usually talks. My thoughts too. Weakens a rival for relegation Could do job if they go down and to help them stay up Probably happy to be decent back up next season

Exactly this. A lot of the chatter is propaganda exercise to get the fans back on side and mask a) performances and b) politics. They know they can't compete in truth and can't just chuck wads of cash around so early because of financial restraints (not that they matter to the powers that be). …however I disagree on Trippier and think that is an anomaly. Being English and finances obviously have had their effect, but that is a real coup for the club (he's hardly on the way the out given his performances at the top level) and a weird move for him.

Would be interesting with them in the championship, seeing if they stick to the FFP rules.

Now official.
Seems they met his release clause, which makes more sense.

It will take a while to build, Man City signed players like Bridge and Bellamy when they became rich,so a proven goal scorer and a decent fullback aren't a bad start to plug the gaps.

It's a strange 1, will be interesting to see what the Newcastle fans thoughts are on it, relegation planning? Building a promotion team for next season?. I meet two differant Newcastle fans most days when out walking the dog. One lives in a dream world where buying a couple of players will see Newcastle head up to safety mid table. The other one is far more realistic as he actually goes to most games home and away, he thinks Newcastle are doomed if they loose or draw with Watford (to be honest he thinks they are down anyway). Mr realist suggests that at least half the team need to be got rid off even if they drop to to the championship as they are simply not good enough, a fact he blames on the previous owner for not spending on decent players for many seasons past. Not spoken to Mr optimist today but having spoken to Mr realistic yesterday I know he was apoplectic at thought of signing Wood, who he reckons wont do much in the championship either and is a complete waste of money, I am paraphrasing actually, what he really said was he thougth wood was a "fking over the hill wanker" of no use to anyone, especially his beloved Newcastle
So thats the opinion all be it second hand of 2 Newcastle fans and of those opinions I tend to go with the guy who actually travels to most games and sees the players not the armchair supporter.

Robinho, De Jong & Tevez were early recruitments under Mansour. They also brought in Santa Cruz for around £20m but he flopped.

The armchair supporters see more than a lot of fans that travel to all the games,every game is shown live,plus the view can be better and they probably aren't half pissed,

I'll mention that to Jim, that hes wasting his time going to games when he could stay home and get pissed and see more of the game Actually I think his main problem is the fact that he drives his son to the games so he never gets to drink and has to see them play while hes sober

Robinho, De Jong & Tevez were early recruitments under Mansour. They also brought in Santa Cruz for around £20m but he flopped. Compared to Wood they were. Tevez scored over 70 goals for them & Robinho got 15 goals in his first season. De Jong was a big part of their early success also.
