Bid excepted £1m
Good news looked really good towards the end of the seasonBid excepted £1m
Bags of potential.This has to be the weirdest million quiz we've ever spent.
He couldn't get in the team ahead of an injured Biamou for much of his loan spell now we're shelling out our budget for him.
I reckon MR has got a project in his mind and wants to turn him into a proper target man.

£250k we will never have to spend!I’d imagine that’s a heavily claused million. Goals, a sell on and 250k once enough Cov fans spell his name right.
If we start with two, others on the bench. Unlikely any will stay fit for whole season (and suspensions), with cup games as well, should all get plenty of game time.As has been said wouldn't mind him here but if that is the fee I hope it's heavily bonus related.
Walker, Godden, Waghorn and Gyo. Are they all gonna be happy in a squad with one or two places at most to fight for?
Put main two strikers missed a lot of games last season which caused a lot of problems, I hope whoever starts v Forest do the business and can’t be dropped.If we start with two, others on the bench.

(With the proviso of starting with two up front)!
Can't help myself here but does it mean anyone saleable will be on the move.
Or will it be funded from the existing budget?
Well last season don’t know exactly how much Robins had but was constantly said to be second lowest in the division out of that budget we reportedly paid £1.5 million for Hamer and £750k for Sheaf not sure what years budget that came from so assuming we have same budget I expect any transfer fees to come out of that. But having said that it wouldn’t surprise me if someone was sold, could be Hamer been linked with Rangers a few times.Can't help myself here but does it mean anyone saleable will be on the move.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the reported fee as at least half of it is likely to be clause based.
Still a strange one though as I thought for the most part he was fairly ineffective. However, he did show glimpses of promise - especially in the last leg of the season where he played a more active role. I agree with the above that he will likely be a work in progress for Robins whereby he'll attempt to convert him into more of a mobile target man.
Will be interesting to see what happens to Godden. Robins may want to cash in as I'm sure there will be suitors in League One and strikers of his quality will always attract interest.
As Barnsley usually says, a risk free signingI think we will sell Godden which will probably mean we get more upfront than we are spending on him
Agreed. He has value to other clubs lower down, and is unlikley to be first choice. For strikers (and in the EFL probably only strikers) that is the combination where you sell out.I think we will sell Godden which will probably mean we get more upfront than we are spending on him
I like Gyokeres. Strong, can find the goal, good in the air, surprisingly good with his feet.
It is. He’s for sure an upgrade on Godden. I have no doubt if he had played as many games as Biamou he would have hit double figures easily.It’s still a rumour but it’s a good signing if true
