Argos deal as MR alluded to I suspect. Good signing if works out. Thought Godden wont be fit for start as still resting that bothersome foot which means he is not up to speed fitness wise. A lot of the players have credited Vivash with improving their game, even McFaz at his age. Think there is loads to work with Gyo and even Waghorn who is a bit of a beast can do better. Look much more physical up front if happens.

Then why play him at all, if that was the case? I Can’t imagine a professional manager hampering his teams chances, possibly chancing survival, to get a player cheaper.

Exactly it’s a bizarre suggestion. Restrict a loan player’s game time in a relegation battle in case he plays well on the off chance we might sign him permanently ?!?! Ridiculous

 

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

I'm please with this if true, he had a good finish to the season and I thought his skill level pretty good for a big guy. Definitely an improvement on Baka and Max so makes us stronger overall. When did we last have 4 strikers like Godden, Walker, Waghorn and Gyokeres? Has to be early 2000's.
Another step forward.

 

[Philosoraptor]

This really is an interesting one. Kind of encouraged, if the speculation is true, we will have a bunch of forwards fighting over their positions.

I'm a great believer in competition for places with people of near-equal ability will bring out the best in everyone, rather than a star signing etc.

 

[Barnsley]

As Barnsley usually says, a risk free signing

This is why I hate loaning in players, you’ve just spent a million quid to have the same options as last season, now you need to sign another player to improve on last seasons squad. Suppose you know what you’re getting so it’s not as risky as just spending £1M blind, but you’ve not really improved on last season, but then again had he not signed permanently you’d be weaker than last season. And if he’d have been your best player, someone else would have taken him and you’d have been royally fucked like us with Dike. Loan system as it’s pros and cons, but clubs like ours are better off staying clear of it if they can, or using it very minimal, for the long term good of the club.

Is Dike getting his move to Man United now?

Reminds me of the excitement I had pre season when Mowbray had his 'guns' Sordell, Agyei, Kwame & Tudgay at his disposal.

Sounds like Chelsea are favourites.

 

[clint van damme]

Has Godden been seen at Ryton this week or is he still on Love Island?

Love Island or Tollbar Island?

He's on about this lad on love Island , I know about this because I've definitely not seen any of it whatsoever to know what he's on about

I love godden , get off his foot

 

[christonabike]

Bilge. Looked out of touch and very unfamiliar in his role. Let’s hope I’m wrong
Welcome to the mad house fella. Maybe him and the lad from Arsenal were told to be shyte unless they signed! A wise move if so.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Godden struggled last season being played on his own. So I can accept if Robins wants to sell on. Gyoko took a while to come into form but he earned the postion in the end, I reckon.

Now the real question and probably worth a thread on its own.... when do we announce Ostigard ?

 

[Great_Expectations]

He looked better and better the more he played.

Clearly had the right work rate so attitude fits already, and showed glimpses of what he’s capable of ability wise. Young too, so plenty of time to develop.

Not sure why anyone would complain. Clueless.

He came here last season and obviously enjoyed it that much he wants to come back. That’s exactly the sort of committed and motivated player we want.

I wonder if the same people moaning about signing an ageing journeyman in Waghorn are also finding reasons to moan about a high potential youngster.

I thought Sordell was OK, but we swapped him for Beavon for some reason.

Actually looks a little like him to be fair

Will tell all of you people on this site if this kid comes in which according to Brighton argus he is ,he will play enough to make a Quartet of strikers all scoring 10 plus each over the season and for me walker if he stays fit will get between 15 and 20.With that fire power and ready made replacements to cover rest and injury cover then we will finish top 12 at the very least as having goalscorers is a massive boost because 10 teams won't have that luxury.pusb

4 strikers scoring at least 10 goals each? I’d be surprised if that’s happened at any club

I just checked Man Utd 98/99 on wiki when Yorke, Cole, Ole & Teddy were all about.

Sheringham = 5 goals.

Could be a first with a couple of cup runs ,always look on the bright side is way lived my life.

[Sky Blue Pete]

Do we think this is a goer then?

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Love the optimism and I hope it happens but in 137 years we've only dreamt of 4 forwards each aceing 10+ goals each

 

[steve cooper]

Yes, it's one thing being capable of 10 goals in a season, and another thing getting enough game time with 4 strikers competing for 2 or even 1 position, but it's still a good position to be in and could yield 25+ goals across the 4 players.

 

[better days]

Do we think this is a goer then?

Yep

 

[larry_david]

Would be a great signing

 

[Monty]

A good signing he looked good towards the end of last season. Interesting views on Godden. If we sold him would Sturridge on a free be a risk worth considering? If fully fit and on form could set the world alight and if not 3 other decent strikers to share the workload

Would Sturridge be happy to accept £10K a week?

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

No

 

[Monty]

Depends whether he just wants to get playing again really. I suspect he has all the money he really needs so who knows what he would accept

 

[procdoc]

Sturridge could go to China or the middle east and earn a boat load of cash if he wanted to. He’s not coming back to Cov
