    Woodrow is sold for £5 million. A big, bruising centre forward is signed for £1.5 million, who can hold the ball up and play with his back to goal, bringing Chaplin and others into the game. He provides a real threat at set pieces. His finishing is ok but not brilliant though, and he's likely to chip in with around 10-12 goals a season.

    I think that this could quite easily happen. Would it improve the team overall?

    For Schmidt to come on before Woodrow today is a big statement of what's happening.

    Woodrow is our best player imo. However we seem unable to get the best out of him in this system

    Woodrow will never suit the style of play Struber uses. Think probably best for all parties that we either move him on and get a player that does fit or we have to change the style of play to suit him. Which I can’t see Struber doing.

    Both of these points flashed through my mind today.

    Do you think? Or did Struber just bring on the player in form and probably buzzing with confidence right now?

    Imagine Cauley’s confidence is rock bottom at the minute. Not a good place to be in. He’s better than we’re seeing/getting out of him

    If Schmidt was as you describe why didn’t he start the game

    The first sentence is the issue here.

    We won’t get £5million. It’ll be undisclosed - but closer to £2million.

    Said exactly the same in an another thread. Struber isn't going to sacrifice his system just for Woodrow and IMO that leaves one outcome...

    Exactly. The money men will see value in selling a player of Woodrow's calibre. If we had any ambitions of been successful on the field then we would do everything we can to get the best out of him. Who are we going to replace our championship level striker with?..... It's only a matter of time before styles, Oduor etc are on the bench wasting away with this manager and system.

    People on this forum once said I was being too "technical" by suggesting we play defensive midfielders (This was a few seasons ago) and now everyone is talking about Woodrow and the system etc.
    Like how does a striker not fit into a system? Do we not need strikers?
    I understand playing different ways but you still need a goalkeeper, you still need strikers etc etc.

    As Reds Fan said, he's possibly our best player. We should build the system around him not the other way around. It sounds like we're over complicating things but I think that's just an excuse for some profit making like Ubique_Tyke said.
    I think every player we've got is replaceable but he's one of the hardest to replace. He's one of the few marquee players that we have.

    Agree.

    It's a complete shambles how we can't get the best out of him.

    I don't think even we're that daft. Proven strikers at this level command a huge premium, and our board will know that.

    I’m a massive fan of Woodrow, quality finisher and centre forwar. I’d hate to see him leave because of his finishing abilities but in the style we play he doesn’t fit. In my opinion he’s not got the athleticism to maintain a press all game like Struber wants. Could you play him up top on his own then 2 in the number ten role to press and split the full backs?

    If you take the Barnsley emotion out of it though, and you base it on performances since the turn of the year, who's paying £5 million? We think/know that he doesn't suit the system, but there's not many teams in the Championship that play that differently - it's not a completely unique style. So his options will be limited. I thought QPR was a nailed on destination but they're looking elsewhere by all accounts.

    Three good months in the Championship don't make you proven at the level either. As supporters we see it differently because we know he's arguably our most talented player.

    Plus a prolific League 1 season. Which was enough on its own to get Toney a big money move. I see your point though, which is essentially he's worth what someone is willing to pay.

    I'm just playing devil's advocate to be honest. Ivan Toney was 24 in 32 where as Cauley was 16 in 31 so different levels of prolific.

    I could see a fee rising to £4.5m but I'd be genuinely surprised if we got more than that. Not because I don't rate him, I think he's a great player, but it's form that gets you the big bucks and Cauley doesn't have any right now.

    I don't think a new striker will make much difference, we won't get anyone in that's better than what we already have. Struber just has to get the best out of them.

    A right footed midfielder would be good. Ideally someone that can give Mowatt license to go forward, then maybe the forwards would get some better service.

    I like Struber but his dealings with Woodrow give me nightmare flash backs to Morais and McBurnie
