Please read our Please read ourOn 12 January 2022, Eddie Howe and Newcastle United signed Chris Wood for £25m.‘Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Chris Wood from Newcastle United.
They ended up signing 30 year old Chris Wood for £25m and were ridiculed for it, by pretty much all outsiders, as well as large numbers of Newcastle United fans. I think all parties understood that Chris Wood playing as number one striker was always going to be for a very limited time, unless potentially relegation had happened.
Halfway through that 2022/23 season, Chris Wood moved on the initial loan to the City Ground, fair to say Forest fans were less than excited about the signing of a now 31 year old striker and one Premier League goal in seven PL appearances before injury brought his season to an end, did little to change that. When Chris Wood moved to Forest in January 2023, I don’t recall any Newcastle United fans saying this was a poor decision, quite the opposite.
I would put my last penny on these Newcastle United fans who are slagging off Eddie Howe for having sold Chris Wood, are the exact same ones who slagged offand NUFC when Wood was signed in January 2022, are also the same ones who didn’t give Chris Wood any credit for what he did for Newcastle in that first half season playing for us, and certainly they weren’t saying it was a stupid move when Wood was let go in January 2023.
