David Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If I was eating cornflakes I would have choked on them. Chris Wood would only be worth £15m if he came with £10m stuffed in his back pocket. Just end football if a club meets that valuation, no point continuing. http://www.espnfc.com/story/3039832/west-ham-and-sunderland-target-chris-wood-valued-at-15-million-sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 He's worth whatever Leeds are prepared to sell him for. For all Cellino's faults he certainly doesn't sell key players on the cheap, for this read Ross McCormack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you need a player exclusively to tear us apart you can't go far wrong with Chris Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Tbf the going rate for top end Championship strikers has really gone up since McCormack made that move to Fulham. Or was it Ulloa to Leicester? Whatever. The price does seem to be around the £10m mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Derby get to the Premiership because of the goals of a player, and we wouldn't have achieved promotion without them, it could be said that player is worth the uplift in payments to the club from the Prem League, etc. There's good business in the transfer market and bad. A vending club might value a player at a certain amount, but may actually take alot less. I would say Wood is worth £10m to Leeds, for his continuing contribution. Had he not scored against us, the whole of that area of Yorkshire would be insisting the club buy a striker in the January market. For them to have that much dominance and not win would mean a short-fall in the attacking options at the club. As it was, we all came away and heard the crowing of the Lees fans and the fawning or Radio Leeds. No one was carping about attackers. Perhaps, in order to avoid choking hazards in future, you should continue to refrain from eating and reading until January is over, or you take the valuations in the transfer market with a pinch of salt.

RamNut Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Crazy fees in jan £10m Livermore? £12m Schlupp? £10m Bamford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If Leeds go up through the goals of Wood then how much are the defenders / keeper worth that also helped gain points over the course of a season? Hate all this adulation for strikers when in actual fact it's a team effort. When Leicester won the league did they focus more on Vardys goals or Schmeichel's amazing saves / Fuchs' diligent blocks from full back / Morgans rock like qualities at the back? Exactly.

Abu Derby Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I would have thought that Wood would cost no more than £4m. Would you Adam and Eve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
