Leeds have agreed personal terms with Chris Wood and he will sign a 3 year deal this week
29 Jun 2015 20:26:19
Excellent. Excellent.

Can't find any were that says that
29 Jun 2015 21:21:53
Seems to be a lot of confusion. Have seen sources claiming Wolves have signed him and others saying we have. My understanding is we have both had offers accepted and he has done medicals for both and contracts have been offered. He was originally supposed to favour a move to Wolves so it will be interesting to see if we can pull it off. A top signing if so, has been a 1 in 3 striker for the foxes which is impressive when you think how much he has been in and out of the first team.

Id say Wolves because of Kenny Jackett.
30 Jun 2015 00:14:02
I'm sure we'll find out sooner than later
30 Jun 2015 08:15:36
well looked on line it's a money thing in wages so i'd say he waiting for highest offer which means going for money not the club
30 Jun 2015 08:57:17
Money club, ah well that's us out of the running then.
30 Jun 2015 10:28:43
I'm not a fan of the guy. I hope Wolves get him. It's not a signing that we need or want.
30 Jun 2015 15:07:39
I am 100% with DCD6 , I think the boy is average at best and is nowhere near worth £2 million , he is not consistent and will prove to be a waste of money if we get him . I hope that I'm wrong

Looks like we are set to win the race for him after all, more sources saying he has swayed towards joining us now (offered a longer 4yr contract NOT a bigger wage).
Dont know why your all getting so down on Wood. At 23 he has another 3 or so years till he is at his best, he is a great finisher and adds height and power. He managed 11 it 19 for Millwall on loan (that works out at a haul of 26 had he played a full season with that strike rate) and 20 in 60 for Leicester and only 32 of those games were starts. Great signing and £2m for a proven player at our level is better than the supposed £3m we are ready to pay for Avenatti (10 goals in his last 51 games) if we miss out on Wood.

Don't know if woods transfer is still on as Leicester have just sacked Pearson.
30 Jun 2015 22:19:13
Still on. They have said the sacking won't affect the sale of Wood (they just spent £7.25m on a new striker so it may be a necessity sale). Medical was passed today and Wolves have pulled their interest so hopefully it should get announced tomorrow or Thursday.

But didn't he go on loan last season to Ipswich and not get a game when they have strikers like Daryll Murphy, a Freddie Sears and Our old favourite Noel Hunt? Granted Murphy and Sears over performed but if McCarthy could get them to play well and not Wood doesn't that say something? Fair play we've signed him now and I'd love to be proven wrong by him, I just dunno if on this occasion the money couldn't have been put to better use.
