Could be bollocks but we've bid 1m for him according to @johnpercy

Oooh - I love these twitter rumours...

Couldn't you have started it "The Ever Reliable Bert says we are about to sign..." & then we would have been able to look him up safely in the knowledge that he was indeed, about to sign?

John Percy is the midlands correspondant for The Telegraph. Broke James and DeLaet weeks before the deal. Very reliable (unlike Bert).

Looks like Pearson's MO... taking good squad players from Premier League Clubs who won;t give them the chance, but both hungry & able to do the job in the Championship.

Thinking back to our "if you could have 1 player from the past" thread & me suggesting we needed a big powerful striker, do you think Pearson has stopped by here for a pint of Castle Rock that's tonight's guest ale?

I think Wood's depends on Beckford. I also think it's his agent trying to force something.

I also think it is a reaction to a issues with 442, I assume Woods would lead the line and we'd move Nugent out wide in a 433/451 if things go badly.

Let's face it, going back to Sven's summer in charge, he wanted Nugent + 1 other to play up front... Sven got Beckford as he couldn't get anyone else, while Pearson with little money resorted to a Non-League signing + a freebie from club in administration, so it's fair to say we have been looking for this 2nd striker for a little while. It makes sense that the only way to pay for it would be to get whatever we can back from Beckford.

I think he'd be a decent punt at that price once they get rid of Beckford. Wood is one of those players who always puts a shift in for the team regardless of personal glory. Often looked a threat at Birmingham on loan last season (scored 9 in 10 starts + 13 sub) and has averaged 1 in 2 on loan at Millwall this season.

If you add him to Nugent (v good), Waghorn (rapidly improving), Vardy (hard working, improving) and Futacs (still an unknown quantity) then we have a half decent selection.

Marshall and Knocky are chipping in, King often gets a few but his role has been more defensive this season.

PS John Percy is a very good journalist, by the way. Has some excellent sources.

Not the greatest timing to leak the bid if its true, with us due to play Millwall. Lets hope it doesn't fire him up to show us what He can do.
