The richest football club in the world sign Chris Wood from Burnley.
Let that sink in.

I think it's a great signing for Newcastle though he could be jumping out the frying pan and into the fire with the plight of both teams.
What's the betting Burnley stay up and the geordies go down!

Just like us signing Roque Santa Cruz.
His name sounded world class but he wasn't.

Just like us signing Roque Santa Cruz.
His name sounded world class but he wasn't.

difference is that Santa Cruz was actually a very decent striker till he came to us and got injured.
This wood player is bang average and 30 years old…

so far they have signed…
Trippier age 31 for 12 mill (plus add one)
And wood age 30 for 25 mill

they have blown 37 million on two players with a combined age of 61.
Hardly building for the future at the minute

40 years old and still playing!

They're not building for the future at the moment. They're desperately trying to stay in the league so that they can begin building for the future in the summer

Worth pointing out that Trippier is £12m minimum, at least £24m if they stay up. Of course that might then be worth it.

Can't really plan when relegation is looming I suppose.

Both decent steady players. If they drop down a division, woods goals will get them back up. You don’t need big names in a relegation fight but hard working reliable players.

They need to build for the now.

Looks like the yanks at Burnley showing there true colours pocketing 20m bet Dyche won’t be let to spend much of they money if any.

Burnley goes down we won’t see them for years if ever.
