Nah, it's not an episode of time team

Didn’t think so

Whats that for? Have we been taken over by some consortium with some ambition to actually do something in this league rather than float around like driftwood?

A striker scores goals max scored more last season that Foggy

Last season Championship
Biamou 5 goals and 3 assists in 34 games
Waghorn 5 goals and 5 assists in 32 games

Waghorn has scored more than 100 goals in his career (most at Champ or higher level), Max has less than 40 including 15 at L2 or lower.

Cant believe this is a conversation to be honest!

We all love Max but if he was still here he would be our 5th striker

 

[Grendel]

Max scored 1 more last season than Waghorn in less games,wtf is that about a striker taking corners he makes Biamou look like Usian Bolt,didn’t someone say Oggy was hinting at a max return last night...Grendel will never be seen again if that happened

The only chance he has of coming back is in a Sky Blue Sam suit

 

[Covkid1968#]

Personally think Waggers will be class for us …. Patience needed peeps

even if I give you similar stats hes gonna be on more than double what max was

It's not always just about goals though, even for a striker. One of our best ever centre forwards only scored 46 goals in 238 games

Danny will be masquerading as a JSB as we speak

We dont know what they earn, but even so, i'd rather pay double and have Waghorn over Biamou

nobody knows yet do they, but this whole psychotic episode is pretty entertaining to read

It what we do

 

[COV]

It what we do

what we need to do is re-sign Biamou and pair him with Waghorn- that would put down a marker alright & the rest of the division would be shaking in their boots

 

[WestEndAgro]

Hodgson had Kane on corners and he was absolutely slaughtered for it, Waggy should be in the middle looking for scraps or a knock down/flick on.
Hamer was on corners/set pieces a majority of last season until Matty James arrived.
Oh and Waggy is a far better player than Max, how effective he turns out though will remain to see

 

[Liquid Gold]

I can't believe how many bites this has had.

Good work as ever Owl Boy

 

[jordan210]

I love our fan base. Guys played just about 1 game for us and some of you have written him off.

He was Derbys second highest goal scorer last season and they only scored 36. So he scored 14% of all their goals.

 

[hill83]

I’m reserving judgement until I get a photo with him in the meat aisle in Tesco

He was signed as a talisman to resurrect our front line, we moved out 2 forwards who could both score 5 - 10 in 46 championship games. You've answered your own question. He's no better than we already had and is probably our highest paid player.

Can you copy in Greggs to this please.

I said Biamou is wasteful in front of goal, I’d hedge my bets and say Waghorn isn’t.

Baka wasn’t getting anywhere near 10 goals for us in the Champ

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Was he just signed to take corners and free kicks? Doesn't do much else apart from get in O'hare's way because he runs around a lot. Stupid signing. Would rather have kept Biamou. Goodnight.

It's the Wayne Rooney effect from he's Derby days.

 

[Liammm]

Since coming back to the Championship he’s scored double figure goals in 2/4 seasons and in one of the others got 9 in a fraction of the minutes. He also got double figure assists in one of those seasons too. Statistically at this level he’s miles better than any forward we have at the club, give him time.

 

[clint van damme]

Waghorn will be our highest earner probably 12k or maybe slightly more max must of been on around 2-3k a week

You think we upgraded to the tune of 9k a week?
And they reckon greggs is on the wind up!

 

[ccfcricoh]

easy to guess numbers and exaggerate i suppose, none of us actually know

No way Waghorn is on 6x as much as Biamou was

I imagine 3/4k for Biamou and 10k for Waghorn is far closer (but still a guess!)

Waghorn is on more than O’Hare who was rumoured to be the highest earner

Biamou signed his deal first season in L1 didn’t he? Seriously doubt he was on £4K/wk

 

[better days]

Mr Greggs is partial to a wind up

He certainly is

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We are a football club not a charity Max was okay but had served his purpose and rightly moved on.

In fairness our transfer activity this summer has felt more like a charity jumble sale.

 

[cc84cov]

He certainly is

I don’t actually think he is #Foghorn

Most if not all players will have clauses for wage increases upon promotion.

Fair point.

Max the underdog who grafted for the team loved the club scorer of few goals but wonderful unforgettable pearlers.
Waghorn fresh into the club and it takes time to get use to new players new staff but think he will adjust and a proven scorer at this level he had a poor season last season in a shit team he's now at a club with higher standards and think he will deliver .
Max a treasured memory gone but not forgotten.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

The Max love in is as always ridiculous, but I’ve seen nothing from Waghorn’s recent past or since he’s signed that suggest he’s a decent signing. All we’ve been told by his supporters he brings to the team is already provided better by others (O’Hares chasing and Hamers set pieces), Walker and Györkeres will score more, he’s got no resale value. Very very strange signing.

O'Hare and Gyo get injured, Hamer gets a 3 game ban. What then?

Football is more than the 11 on the pitch.

I mean what if the team all dies in a horrible team bath incident?

I just think your highest paid player should be bringing something obvious to the first team. O’Hare was the first name on the team sheet last year and earned his status easily.
