It was 25m wasn't it? Whatever the fee, I don't like the signing, even if it weakens a direct relegation rival. But of course that is not a good reason to spend so much cash. He'll bag a few goals, but he's on the wrong side of 30, and Newcastle overpaid on this one I think. Wood is now the most expensive player in English football history over 30 years old.
Trippier's just as old but his fee was only 12m, and I like this signing. Yeah Newcastle needed a striker after Wilson went down, but Chris Wood for 25m? He'd better bag a bunch for that sort of fee.
