I guess we're signing Martyn Waghorn then, lol

 

[larry_david]

Ooo who called that?

I don't get it?

I don't get it?

Same poster who said that Waghorn was a done deal also said that this bloke was going to be our new coach.

Ohhhhhhhh who said it?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Decent appointment with some good experience! Wonder if Waghorn will follow then?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

good appointment. Robins better watch out as Dennis was an international manager.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Our links with that Trinidad world cup squad go stronger

Stern John
Clayton Ince
Chris Birchall

Now Dennis Lawrence

 

[kg82]

I have some very vague recollection of this guy playing for Trinidad. Absolutely huge, isn’t he?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ohhhhhhhh who said it?

I think it was @skybluebeast

 

[fernandopartridge]

He's worked with Martinez for a long time. Martinez I believe is very well regarded in the game.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Someone on here called it.

But also said Waghorn was a done deal.


If Waghorn and Sarkic are our first 2 signings id be hugely depressed

 

[Frostie]

Very positive appointment. Fairly sure he has the highest possible coaching badges available & already very decent & varied experience.

 

[Alkhen]

Has some solid experience under his belt for sure, hoping he still has contacts at Everton

 

[skybluereeve]

Ha ha me to pal. Please please not Waghorn

I saw Waghorn once (apart from when they played us) last season and he looked immense, granted it was the relegation shootout game with Sheff Wed but he scored a cracker and battled hard. he may come good keep the faith

Do you not think Waghorn is an improvement on Biamou/Bakayoko?

 

[clint van damme]

Great name, proper football name, none of this Jodi or Jordan nonsense.

 

[Nick]

Hopefully he will teach the lads how to put a 2 footer in.

Lawrence in.

 

[larry_david]

Yeah without hijacking the thread. Waghorn is an improvement on max, baka and possibly gyo so...let's not get silly here

 

[clint van damme]

Mind horn would be an improvement on those pair

If our first signings were Messi and neuer you would still moan

 

[Evo1883]

Everton development coach previously I think

Thinking about it Waghorn is actually a very similar player to Gyo. Works hard and strong but looks a bit awkward and not exactly brilliant in front of goal

Would you be happy with that then? Waghorn and Sarkic?

 

[Nick]

Made a thread about Waghorn - Waghorn Rumour

 

[TomRad85]

6ft 8in. Reckon he'll be good to have around if it kicks off

@SlowerThanPlatt maybe not all people who share stuff on here are wind up merchants .

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

As opposed to what alternative? Waghorn I’m sceptical about due to potential wages, but he’s definitely an improvement on Baka, Biamou and Gyorkeres - scored 16 goals in 17/18 in this league, better than James Collins.

Sarkic is 6ft 5 and apparently good coming out for crosses. Clearly an upgrade on Wilson

 

[mr_monkey]

Yep, waghorn is a massive upgrade on max and baka and is completely different to what we have already and sarkic I have no knowledge of but is highly thought of by wolves and kept a fair few clean sheets in league one last season

problem is I don’t want upgrades on Wilson and Biamou. We need upgrades on Godden and Marosi

 

[larry_david]

Good to see progression though. Interesting to see what he brings to the training ground

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Given that Waghorn has scored more championship goals in one season than Godden has in his career I’d suggest Waghorn is.

Jury is out on Sarkic, can’t really comment other than what I’ve read, but Marosi was dropped for Wilson last season, so the upgrade would have to be on our current keeper

I’m not saying he isn’t I just don’t see why we’re measuring our signings on Biamou and Wilson who are League 2 at their very best. If Waghorn is an improvement on Godden and Walker then great.

Marosi had a good season for us in league 1. Sarkic has had a mediocre one in admittedly a worse team. I hope he is an improvement on Marosi.
