I'd have liked to have seen him come in, or someone similar, to compliment Garica, who is still trying to find his feet a Fulham, and may well do so for some months to come yet.
This isn't a dig at Garcia, it's not entirely his fault, talented lad, but Fulham had been convinced by Arbeloa that he was ready to lead our front line, and worthy of paying £34M.
What Fulham should have done, after letting Raul go, is also sold Muniz, but brought in someone like Chris Wood to compliment Garcia, who we know will get you goals if plan A isn't working.
As it stands, we have 2 x's redundant strikers, one who's miles off being ready and the other who just doesn't look the slightest bit interested in playing for Fulham.
I get the risk with older players, injuries etc, but look at Leeds with DCL at Leeds.
We are going to struggle if both of our strikers do not start scoring regularly.
Just a small correction, Chris Woods is a former goalkeeper,
Chris Wood is a striker that plays for Forest and New Zealand.

What's an 'S' between friends, anyway. ::wine::
I said this last week. Not actually Wood, but an experienced old head to help out with these two, both on the pitch and in training.

It's certainly not the worst shout? Would prefer Wellbeck if any chance he might be available?
I keep thinking Cairney will be the one who plays the right ball into Garcia

Good shout Jim.
I have been thinking the same that Wood could have been good for us.
We also have to ask why TK went back and paid around £5m to bring Kusi Assare back when he appears to be not even considered for the 1st team squad.
