Wasn't Kermorgant signed on a one year deal initially? At the age of 29?
Nothing wrong with the deal at all. He's a back up player and therefore anything more than a one year contract is unnecessary. If things don't work out then neither party is a loser.
Why would you give a 33 year old more than a one year deal? Jesus, Golfie, get a grip. You're just looking for stuff to gripe about. It's a perfectly sensible decision.
Don't understand this if I'm honest, what's wood going to do that Taylor wasn't?? We should spending money on strikers who are going to keep us in the league
No you're right. Powell clearly doesn't know what he's doing..........
From what I've seen of Gomez he's promising but not there yet physically. He's only 16, plenty of time for him to develop. At the moment he's got Feely, Ajayi and Lennon ahead of him. Doubt we'll be seeing him anywhere near the first team for at least another year.
After all those nerves and beginning to worry about cash-flow, we at last get that high-profile signing we have all been gagging for.
He's under 40, could play up front if asked, is quite tall and can probably kick it with at least one of his feet so this feels like a good one to me.
And his name is Wood which is a strong dependable sort of name for a defender. We need some more strong names in the team- what about Stone, Cement or Superglue?
And he's from Yorkshire..(well let's ignore the downsides for now)
Just hope the huge fee involved does not put too much pressure on the fella.
At 28 the telling thing is not that we would offer a one-year deal, but that he would sign one. Powell has to get bodies in and they have to be cheap. No point blaming the player or the manager.

Or, perhaps, he is a realist who has a family and wants to ensure he has an income (I have no idea of his personal status, btw). I think players of that calibre often hold out for too much then find themselves with no club. Maybe, he wants the chance to prove himself at a decent level to earn another one year contract next year.
He says that going on the Spain trip helped make his mind up that he wanted to join us. Suggests that despite what may be going on off the field, the ethos and spirit within the squad must still be strong and could again be the difference between a good and indifferent season.

Solid championship player, over 300 games so experienced. He's left footed which SCP likes as balance.
No, he's not "exciting" or a striker but good and needed addition to the squad imho
Welcome Dick Wood.......
A natural left sided centre half is a nice squad addition.
Now let's address the necessities please
tbh i thought he was shite
Welcome aboard, Knock On.
what, so he can leave like the other 25 players next May...............good thinking !!
Do you hate life?
This has turned my close season around.
