I doubt Newcastle care about resale value, they're years away from that being important, they'll want the people most likely to keep them up, and from who they could get, Wood is a good buy. Especially as it weakens a rival.
Eddie Howe is obviously a good coach and man-manager but is seriously shit when it comes to spending big money eg Solanke, ibe and Brad Smith cost Bournemouth about £50m!
Buying Wood and Trippier for £37m won’t improve Newcastle much and both are short term signings.
Origi (£20m), Phillips (£15m), Minamino (£15m) and Lingard (£25m) would 100% keep Newcastle up for £75m.
