Maybe Robins saw what we all saw in the run in …. Godden worked hard but was largely ineffective and the top end championship teams found him easy to nullify.

we know Robins is loyal but he’s also prepared to calm time when he thinks we need better …

I think Godden struggled playing alongside Vik. The 2 of them together rarely worked, as they both wanted to make similar runs and take up similar positions.

Godden sacrificed much of his game to help Vik, when what we needed was someone with express pace.

If Vik had got injured we'd of desperately needed Godden, and the same can be said if Simms gets injured this season.

Id keep him around TBH. The more consistency the better if it’s not impacting the first team too much.

Largely agree with most comments here.
However, in fairness to Godden - he was more ineffective because everything was built around Vik who was becoming increasingly selfish. I know that selfishness is considered a good thing for a striker, but Vik was arguably too selfish. You could see Godden getting exasperated.

I’d be letting Godden go for £300k - £400k+. Largely due to injury record. When fit, he’s still got a lot to offer. However, he’ll be 32 in a couple weeks and has had injuries.

Would have to be a decent fee to let him go. Godden proven time and time again that he’ll get you goals.

PVA · Jul 9, 2023

He's absolutely fine as a 3rd choice striker.

There can't be (m)any teams in this league with a striker with his record over the last few years as 3rd choice.

I’d like to see him benefit from a stronger midfield

Hamer, Sheaf and O'hare, not good enough for you?

He is in Portugal so i guess nothing will happen in the next week or so.

Unless Godden asks to go we shouldn't even be entertaining the idea. I can only see it if we go out and sign 3 more top strikers and he wants to move for more game time and I can't really see that happening

SkyblueDad · Jul 9, 2023

Godden goes we will need a new candidate for the knock the players brigade on here.

At that price, you'd keep him. Surely?

if it was my choice then I would

but it also depends on assurances that he will play, which I’m not sure he will unless off the bench / covering injuries etc

I'd sooner keep Goden, we need some experience and Godden will always score goals.

No way would Mark Robins let Godden go unless he has a definite replacement lined up.

CovLad94 · Jul 9, 2023

I think a move to Derby would be a sensible move for him at this point of his career.

sylus · Jul 9, 2023

been great for the club but time he moved on, the pace of the championship is just to much for him now and of course his injuries, so a drop down a league would suit him, but rather we kept him over Sharp coming.

And therein is the problem. Nixon is a high profile reporter of transfers but they've been further and further from reality as time has gone on. It shows in his Billy Sharp rumour, a guy who has said he would never play for Derby and Nixon has him linked in this story.

And while Godden isn't as prolific as he used to be through injury or playing in Viks shadow, he is still a better option than Sharp in our squad and the style we play.

I’m not sure that is accurate re Nixon.

There are 2 types of reporter. Those that present the facts after the event and those who predict outcomes based on the sources they have.

Nixon is the latter, he has got 28 right this summer so far. That’s not too shabby given that most of his stuff is outside the premier league .

It's an opinion not backed by figures (I wasn't going to go back 12 months and check). And you are right, the EFL is far more diverse and less structured than the Prem and the top Euro leagues when conducting player moves. But while he's no where near as bad as Andy Turner, in my opinion, Nixon comes across as one of those that pick up gossip, chitchat or drunken ideas in the pub and report as "undisclosed sources". He is an industry-recognised reporter but is that because of the number of stories he reports and gets his name out or the number of accurate leads? It's the same as those Twitter rumour agencies we knock. Some are as accurate but because their names aren't as popular or they don't have as many followers, their stories are dismissed.

He may have successes, it's just that I don't tend to rely on his stories. If they come up, great for the clubs involved. If not, I don't dwell on it or him.

I can see the logic in this, for both Cov and Derby.
They lost top scorer McGoldrick, so Godden seems a decent choice, but personally, i don't want to see Derby improve and get promoted.

Its only a matter of time. They're a proper championship club, they should be here.

I would suggest he probably is.

Evo1883 · Jul 9, 2023

Hope he goes , means some won't have a boo boy next season as dabo went already what will be will be

Edit : remembered we haven't moved bidwell on yet

Been a good player for us over the last few seasons don’t get me wrong, think legend is a bit strong

Bidwell is good, I think he’ll get moved on though

No I got your point evo, I was just saying contrary to many I actually like bidwell. I’d definitely keep him to compete with Da Silva, but I can see him going

Evo1883 · Jul 9, 2023

If we sign a couple more strikers then godden will naturally be moved on .. done well for us and would do well for Derby

We don't currently have the bodies to move him on

Biamou was considered a club legend, there comes a point when they need to be moved on for the sake of the team and their career. Godden has been good yes but replacable

He’d be a great signing for a league one team chasing promotion. I’d keep godden as third choice

Now to be fair to godden he’s way more of a legend than biamou

Ccfcisparks · Jul 9, 2023

If we can half a million for Godden then it was worth giving him that new contract.

Biamou got a double promotion on his c.v with us to be fair

No denying that, is he really a club legend though?
