Why?
VK has said that Foster was to use these 6mths since signing to settle in, get used to the country, his team mates etc and then have a proper preseason to get ready for the PL.
Because he was absolutely pony and that was in the Championship.

Do you disagree that Foster has been pony since his arrival? Or were you impressed with his one goal return?

Do you actually watch games or just look at stat lines?

Foster’s playing in a new system and after a few games looked well up to speed with it all.

That false 9/deep lying forward position is hard to play effectively… he showed some great glimpses against City and then against Rotherham away then Bristol City was arguably the best player on the pitch until he was subbed.

VK also played against Foster in Belgium, so I think can judge a strikers ability just fine

He's joined mid season, he's having to acclimatise to the country/club/squad etc.

You having to provide a list of excuses for his poor displays just shows you agree with my “own blinkered view” - that he has been pony.

I don’t think it’s controversial to suggest that Foster to date has been poor, whilst also acknowledging that there are mitigating factors and that he may very well go on to be a very good signing.

Certainly wasn’t poor against Rotherham or Bristol in his last outings.

Was very good infact - shame he got a head injury against Bristol

You've never done a player rating I've noticed, you've never complained about foster until this thread.

Yes there have certainly been periods of games where he’s not been poor, I don’t disagree. But like I said, it isn’t controversial to suggest that his Burnley career to date has been poor.

I didn’t realise people have to first post in the player ratings thread to have an opinion on a footballer?

To be honest I think you’re the weird one for checking that.

Fair enough, different opinions. But if his next 10 performances are of the same quality as his previous 10 then I don’t think he will be anywhere near our starting eleven, because he was sub-par for the Championship. As I said there are mitigating factors and he has time for improvement, but we can only judge his past performances on what actually happened rather than what might.

Course you can label his performances as poor.

He’s not looked anything like a £10,000,000 player or whatever fee it ends up being.

Wood had a crap 6 months for us, granted. But he was always a player who scored in fits and starts. A more than solid performer Premier League player.

Did we have Newcastles pants down? Absolutely. But I think Forrest have got a decent deal. Foster, whilst he has age on his side, hasn’t exactly performed at the league below, let alone the Prem. Fingers crossed he picks up!

It's a step up so you can't compare the two seasons side by side but the players who came in during the January window will benefit massively from a full pre season with the rest of the group.

Last season was so relentless that there probably wasn't time to work on a lot of things on the training ground.

I really hope we can get as many signings as possible done during pre season, this will give us an even better chance of staying up.

If Liverpool lined up with Cullen and Brownhill in midfield they'd most certainly be underwhelmed... perfectly good for us though!

I could have formed an opinion on him after his first game if I wanted.

I have seen every game he’s played for Burnley and the guy hasn’t been up to it.

One goal for a striker in a team who create hatfuls of chances most games is poor - particularly after having spent a lot of money on him. I can’t see how stepping up a division is going to make him any better.

He’s pony.

Genuinely dont see Wood starting many games. Young Johnson is sensational and one of the quickest forwards in the PL. Then you have Awoniyi (think thats how you spell it), and then you have Dennis too, no doubt a few more strikers competing

Wood is still out injured, but the loan had obligation to buy.
They'll probably move him on in January when he's fit

Wood did well for us and scored a good number of goals which helped us to stay in PL.

When he was bad he was really bad and often looked slow and disinterested especially when kept getting caught offside. Overall I am still happy that he played for Burnley. It was however time to go and getting £25m will have helped our club make some of the purchases they eventually made last season.

As for Foster have I missed something? He’s only just joined us hasn’t he? To expect a young man to move from the southern hemisphere having played presumably a totally different type of football to what is offered in the Championship and hitting the ground running is probably unrealistic. VK and recruitment team must’ve seen something in him and I’m happy to back their judgement.

Thierry Henry didn’t score in his first 8 games for Arsenal. I’m sure you would have been calling him Pony and a waste of money.

Impressed by Ings pace and sharpness from day one... to the point of defending him on here (or CM possibly) Now I feel there's actually a very close resemblance in style between Ings and Foster.

Got lots wrong thanks....does that preclude me from having an opinion?

Henry had been used as a left winger up until signing for Arsenal so he genuinely was learning a new position when he came in.

Foster has always played as a striker so there’s no excuse for his pony offerings for Burnley so far.

As a former claret who scored some crucial goals for us I wish Chris Wood all the best at Forest. As regards Foster he looks a decent player. His stats in Belgium suggest he has never been a prolific striker so maybe we won’t be utilising him as an out and out goal scorer. In VK we trust, absolutely.

Not good but perhaps not disastrous news for Forest? A long term, perhaps career ending injury to CW might well be covered by their insurance policies?

What is all this “pony” talk anyway?

Has this board ‘morphed’ into a stewards resource now?

Cockney rhyming slang - pony and trap.

Someone’s discovered reruns of Only Fools and Horses on his mum and dad’s freeview is my guess.

If you needed a thread to explain Up The Clarets to an alien, this would be the one.

A three month old thread about Chris Wood gets bumped with one post about Chris Wood before a day's worth of arguing/discussion* about Lyle Foster.

And then the alien would show you an almost identical thread on their team's forum.

Think if you say "pony" enough times it makes you feel cool about yourself while at the same unknowingly makes you look a bit daft to everyone else.

Melt will be his next popular one
