To be fair to him, I've seen a few decent touches and some promising direct runs but no end product and woeful finishing. He obviously needs a few more seasons but there might be something there eventually. Nowhere near ready for pro football yet alongside the many others that we've made that mistake with. He's 20, if he hasn't got the basic awareness now he probably never will. Like most Premier League academy players, a career as a brickie making a historic appearance in the first round of the FA Cup for Tonbridge Tarantulas beckons. I didn't realise he was 20, I thought he was about 18!

Talks not even started with Wood over a new contract according to the lad himself, that from Jamie Raynors tweet.

Wood will be out the door for a nominal fee this month. The ghost of Rhodes still haunts us.

Let’s not forget that classic Rhodes bollocks about Wood’s contract being something for the incoming CEO to deal with. What a load of utter shit. Leaving aside the fact that there’s absolutely no reason to leave Wood’s contract since the best thing for the club would be to renew it, he’d already identified his successor and he was in the next office. Why not just knock on the door and ask him?
We won’t pay his wages and we’ll either run his contract down and let him go for nothing or sell him for a nominal fee and. Either way we’ll put out the standard line about him not wanting to be here.

Not really arsed about Wood. I mean letting him go for next to nowte or completely for free is just typical City and shows nothings really changed.
He’s decent enough in L2 where you can get away with full backs who can’t defend. Seem to remember when he first joined Chicksen was keeping him out the first team.

He's one of a few decent prospects we have that could improve and actually be an asset. He's a good age as is Cooke, Sutton and Staunton. I'd be doing everything possible to keep them here or at least tie them down to a couple of year contracts to ensure that we get a good deal if and when a bigger club comes in.

That had more to do with the manager being a moron than Chicksen actually playing better than Wood.

Some decent signings going through for other sides.

We still need three or four for me and quality ones at that. Sounds like we’re trying to shift BRE and DMH but who in their right mind will take them?

It’s actually quite far into January now. It’s going to go the same way as the manager search isn’t it? The old ‘couple of youth team players and a last minute panic buy’ prediction is looking strong at the minute.

I have difficulty believing that Lee Turnbull had anything to do with the two signings we've made. You'd have thought that a team supposedly on the up and moving away from the relegation places we'd be a more attractive proposition for players. Mind you if we can't attract a decent manager either (not taking anything away from the two lads now) that shows that something is wrong.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's going through him

Probably hard to find all those players who join us because they just can't wait to play in front of 20k at VP now its all behind closed doors We all remember when we used to pretend that was our golden ticket right?
