He’s got a lot of limiting factors now which makes it hard to see him in the championship next year:

- No pace
- Not the biggest/most powerful
- Not a great presser
- Limited link up ability

I feel disloyal saying all that because he’s done a great job for us, especially his first 3 years. It’s been quite hard to get him to work in partnership with another striker throughout his time with us. Yet he’s nowhere near the profile of a lone striker.

At 33, with a not great injury record, I don’t see many Championship teams going for him. The weaker ones will need more from a striker than he can offer at this point in his career.

Let's not forget Simms and Wright hardly set the world alight before Christmas. Godden's movement put the other two to shame early on. Think Robins essentially said it was Godden and one of Wright and Simms at the start of the season. Time for him to move on though. Such a shame Godden hasn't got a turn of pace - he'd be a £10m in my opinion if so.

I don't agree with that comment about movement but each to their own.

Id argue the reason Simms started slowly was a lack of consistent game time and being the main man. Wright was good from the start and consistently impacted games but people chose not to see it at first.

Godden needs a lot more than turn of pace to be worth 10m, he missed so many chances last year it got ridiculous.

Anyway he will be moved on.

Goddens movement is top class amd often finds himself in good areas but watching him make runs and the defenders constantly beat him to it was painful, and the switch in formation and the way we play alot of the time he was a passenger as didn't have the turn of pace and power Simms has on the break, so was ineffective up top on his own.

In a two he might score a few

He was never quick to begin with but looks like he's lost what little pace he had.

His movement in and around the box is still good, but any ball played into the channels or behind the defence he just has no chance with.

One of the underrated aspects of our fourth goal at Wembley was how it was all sparked by an absolutely horrendous first touch by Godden. He had to run so far to fetch it - and his marker followed him - that it created an ocean of space for OHare to run into after Matty G had passed it to Da Silva.

Yeah after they merely questioned why he was calling them losers, miss him.

I think it’s probably a good deal for everyone involved.

I will forever be grateful to Godden for the part he has played in our success in recent years. The truth is that, in part thanks to what he achieved, we are now playing at a higher level and need a better backup striker.

If he had more pace he would be worthy keeping around but he is slower than a slug on a motorbike without wheels

Fair play to Doug for getting some money in for him.

Yes he struggled last season but an absolute bargain for us really, brilliant player for us overall. Was almost unplayable just before the lockdown in the title winning season, fantastic finishing ability. Two hatricks and many more important goals.

Best of luck Matty. Think Jones could get a decent year out of him at that level.

Still remember walking out after Ipswich and the city fans were singing with an air of confidence knowing we were going up .. his goal that day was superb

I'm sure he will score plenty for Charlton , fantastic effort over the 5 years for city

Good move for him. Thanks for the service Matty, been a consummate professional and lethal in spells.

Really feels like all change this summer doesn’t it.

Good move for him. He should still have plenty to offer for them.

A excellent servant for us over the last few years, his goals absolutely crucial to getting us to where we are now.

All the best Matty, and thanks for some special memories.

His goal against Sunderland in the Lg1 title season where he took it on the spin and smashed it into the back of the net was a special goal
