Addick Addict said:So Newcastle have agreed to pay the £25m release clause in Chris Wood's contract. That's a lot of money for a 30 year old but, whilst he has only scored three times this season, he usually ends up with a dozen or so. More to the point, Cornet, who has already had his fair share of injuries, is Burnley's only hope left of scoring a meaningful number of goals. Their board isn't known for splashing the cash so this might be the final nail in their coffin.
ALSO Kieran Agard who got Plymouth's winner v us has moved to Doncaster .. Plymouth didn't renew his short term contract0 -

It's worth saying again .. for a talented young player on average to good L1 wages, a move to the London area is often not viable. He might be living in a £200,000 house in a northern/midlands town or city with his family. Little traffic, good schools, easy travel to and from the training ground. Then, he signs for Charlton, sells the nice house and for the price he gets, he can buy a leasehold one bedroom flat above a chip shop in Penge with no parking space for his nice motor and no space for the wife and saucepan lids (if he has either)
THIS i m o is the biggest recruitment problem we have, the cost of living in London, as I say, for a footballer earning good money, but a salary that gives him an inferior standard of living to what he might enjoy well outside the M250 -

I'd have thought investing in someone like Bereton-Diaz would make more sense. Potential to do well in the Prem, if they go down then he will likely stay and get them back up and he's only 22.
But what do I know.

To be honest I thought it was a pretty uninspiring signing until I read an article which highlighted his stats.
His record is 50 goals in 154 Premier League appearances which isn't bad when you consider he plays for Burnley who create very little. He's hit double figures in the last 4 years which puts him in company with Kane, Vardy, Sterling etc and his off the ball stats are apparently some of the best in the league as well so I actually think he could turn out to be a decent signing for them (Annoyingly as I'd love them to go down).
I imagine there's plenty of more inspiring signings out there but he probably ticks all their boxes, he has a track record of putting the ball in the net in the Premier League, experience of relegation battles, someone who puts the hard miles in, probably someone you could see staying if they are relegated and has the added bonus of weakening a relegation rival.

Damaging a direct rival always adds to the worth of a transfer deal.
The other end of the table, but Chelsea signing Parker from us, and Newcastle signing Robert Lee had a similar effect.1 -

He was apparently on around 50 at Burnley and will be on 80 at Newcastle.0 -
Kane Hemmings [Burton - Tranmere] Undisclosed
A pretty consistent scorer in the lower leagues for a long time, the type who might well have suited us in the shorter term .. 30 years old, dropped down a division .. good signing for Tranmere1 -
would have been pretty annoyed if we signed him5

Looking further into it, it’s a 10m salary deal so much lower than what someone suggested. Tbf it was on Twitter.0 -

4 good years out of him, £10m profit at 30.
Need to replace him though.1 -

No point thinking about signings until the last week of January and deadline day. Thomas isn’t going to splash too much this window with no hope of play offs.0
