Wood placed on Owls transfer list
The Owls have been desperate to keep hold of the highly-rated 24-year-old but were not prepared to meet his demands and make him their highest paid player at Hillsborough.[LNB]Manager Brian Laws said: "Richard and his agent have asked for something they know we can't pay, so I'm very disappointed in a player who has previously told me he wants to be at this football club. We've made him an excellent offer and I'm staggered we are at this point."[LNB]Laws, who confirmed he would use the money to strengthen several areas of his squad, added: "I don't want any players at this football club who do not want to be here and if there is a club that want to take Richard on loan with a view to a permanent move in January then we would welcome that."[LNB]Wakefield-born Wood, who made his first-team debut at the age of 17, was handed a two-year deal by the Owls before he had completed the second year of his academy scholarship.[LNB]The club turned down a transfer request from Wood in the summer of 2008 not long after rejecting a reported £1million bid from from Coventry.[LNB][LNB]
