# ‘Sounds like he wants to stay’ – Leeds fans delighted with star’s latest comments

**Our Leeds fans here in the Transfer Tavern really are looking forward to their side getting going next season as they are hoping for a promotion challenge.**

For sure, the Whites have to be considered up there with the likes of Aston Villa as one of the favourites to get promoted in 2017/18 but the hard work for that needs to start now.

Indeed, they certainly need to get a new manager in as soon as possible whilst it is also vital that new players are signed – as well as ensuring the best of the current squad is retained.

Chris Wood certainly fits into that latter bracket, then, with him scoring goals for fun last season and – as quoted by Lee Sobot on Twitter – he appears focused on staying at Leeds, instead of worrying about Garry Monk’s departure.

He said:

> Chris Wood on Garry Monk “It’s football, it’s life. We’ve got to move on from it and look to the future and we wish him all the best” [#lufc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/lufc?src=hash)

It does sound as if he is staying, then, and Leeds fans have certainly reacted to that:

> Hope I’m wrong but feel few players were playing for Gary, not the club. Shame Bartley won’t come now but need to play for club not manager
