One more than Tyler Walker then?

Walker has quite obviously been a bust this season too - what’s your point?

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Played only two full games without being subbed in/subbed off this season (Peterborough home/Luton away). Sorry to say he’s been a bust so far.

Most of our transfer activity has been.

 

[SBT]

Most of our transfer activity has been.

Kane, Gyokeres, Moore - good
Maatsen, JCS - fine
Waghorn - meh
Bright - bad

All round I think it’s been a pretty solid year so far, but a club on a budget like ours can’t afford too many misses like Waghorn.

 

[stevefloyd]

Got to disagree.

Name me a time Goddens missed a chance in the area you'd expect him to score since hes been here?

I bet you wont find many. Bets finisher we have

There is no questioning his finishing although what does he bring to the party if he is not finishing ?

I would put JCS in the meh category. Has a few clangers in him and has played only 12 starts, in which he only finished 7 of those games.

Either way, at this level and the budget we are operating on, 3 good signings out of 7 is not great.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Go on then, which clubs in the Championship would look to sign him?

If we released him for free I could see up to half the clubs in our league being interested in Godden. Not necessarily as a guaranteed starter for sure, but most Championship clubs have 4 or 5 forwards in their squads so I think there would be definite takers.

Can u name a club in the league that has atleast 60% successful signings

I´ve got a better idea; why don´t you go through every team and every signing they have made. Line it up with what the fans are saying on their own club forums, and then get back to me.

It isn´t really about other teams. We do not have the money some other clubs can waste. If we are running a tight ship, we need to do it effectively.

Huddersfield last minute but generally yes pretty clinical

 

[SkyblueDad]

Would anyone else fancy giving O'Hare a rest and giving Hamer a go in the 10, fair enough not played there before, but he would certainly add more quality in the final 3rd to find a pass or dig one out himself. Play Sheaf and Allen behind him.

So you think O’Hare should be dropped.

We need him to accelerate the ball up and across the pitch. Maybe someone could remind him he does have a decent shot on him

 

[Saddlebrains]

Go on then, which clubs in the Championship would look to sign him?

Peterborough would have him back
Barnsley
Hull
Blackpool
Luton
Preston
Huddersfield
Derby



Without a doubt

 

[Saddlebrains]

Well hes a striker so thats all he really needs to bring to the party isnt it?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Makes me laugh.

People on here slag Godden off, who barely misses chances he gets in the whole 3 years hes been here.

Yet Laud Gyok who cant hit a cows arse with a shovel bar 1 purple patch 4 months ago

Mind bogling

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Any update on this absolute wage thief yet @Skybluebeliever @better days ?

Only one person who can be called that and he got fucked off after a few months

 

[Nick]

He can't be called that. Made people cry

Gyökeres will go on to consistently play at a higher level than Godden throughout his career.

 

[Sick Boy]

Barnsley

Derby



Without a doubt

Disagree other than the recently promoted teams and even then he'd be back-up rather than first choice.

There's no doubt that Godden is a good finisher, not in my mind anyway, and I think in normal times he would even now be worth more than we paid for him to a top L1 side or a lower to mid table championship side that play the type of football that would suit him. The fact is there is no money around now. He was certainly a bit of a steal at the time we signed him, and price we paid for him.
Do many people slag him off?

Ignore him he’s an idiot

Well look at it on here.

Always a few posters claiming Goddens not good enough.

Some even claim Walker is better ffs

The blokes goals got us promoted from L1 lets not pretend it didnt

And given a solid run in the championship for the first time in his career hes at almost 1 in 2.

At Walker's age Godden was playing in the Conference.

Oh that must mean hes shit then.

Jamie Vardy was playing in the conference until he was 25, is Walker better than him too?

I’ve seen some things on this site but comparing Godden to Vardy takes the biscuit

I've never said he's shit but if we were serious about progressing, he wouldn't be the answer.
Comparing him to Vardy is incredible.

You've spoken your fair share of poo n all you trifle

 

[stevefloyd]

Well hes a striker so thats all he really needs to bring to the party isnt it?

Yeah sure we will just get people who score goals to play they don't have to do anything else

Theirs absolutely no way in this world we would sign him. He doesn’t fit our recruitment policy in any way.

he'd score you loads of goals in League 1 next season.

 

[Barnsley]

Makes no difference. He’s doesn’t fit our transfer policy so we wouldn’t sign him, I agree he’d bag an hat full at that level, and I’d take him in a heart beat for next season, but our recruitment committee wouldn’t entertain the thought of signing him for a second.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Same people that were convinced we had to wait and see about Dale Evans

Stating the obvious, you need someone who can get goals this season. Your top scorer has 4, and a strike rate of 0.18 goals per 90. Your whole squad has only scored double what Godden has got this season.
Try and find a goalscorer with a Championship record of 8 in 16 games or 0.7 goals per 90. for the price you could afford.
He may not fit some idealistic model but someone like Godden could well give you a chance of staying up this season.

absolutely correct, but they’d rather buy a 22 year old with potential of a resale and develop him and give him championship experience until the end of the season, building up a data profile at that level, before a season in league one where we would be hoping he excels, so we can sell him on. Our owners would rather go down with 3 young signings this month , who can be developed into saleable assets, than stay up with 3 signings that have no resale value. And at 31 in the summer MG has no resale value to us.

Our owners are livestock farmers with footballers.
