So Waghorn just hasn’t been anywhere near good enough

It's good business to leave your small squad even smaller. I'm going to go and sell the copper piping out of my house tomorrow, it's good business with copper pricing as it is. I'll sort it all out after next week's cold snap
Well even if he did I wouldn't want to see Waghorn coming into the pitch to replace him.
Probably better than Waghorn

It’s not smaller it’s the same size and seriously we were better off with 10 than Waghorn
Two players in and two out. How is that smaller?

Have to believe Robins thinks he’s got someone lined up for very early next week to let Waghorn go today.

I have no issue with him going, I have an issue with the timing and not having a replacement signed before letting him go.

Haha what’s up with people. Waghorn and Kane weren’t wanted and barely played, it’s obviously good business by the club

Big Mike in goal, Big Doug up front. I can see why he'd be confident.

I am going to keep my old boiler that doesn't work any more and sit in the cold rather than get a new one that's being offered to me at a reasonable price.

You need a strong spine in your side and Big Mike's must be as strong as they get.
Why? Do you think he would score? Were you at Sheffield United? How effective was he as a sub there?
Palmer or even Allen would be more likely to score in that position.

Transfer Rumour - Lucas Ness
Shame Walker has not been prolific as that would have given us at least a point of negotiation with the club. Swap deal!! But walker had to go and mess it up and score less at League 1 than Championship this season, in more minutes….

Kane and Waghorn are two players contributing almost nothing other than a respectable chunk out of the wage bill and a seat on the bench. We wanted them gone in the summer (allegedly) and couldn't find any takers. If the wage bill needs cutting in order to bring players in, and we have takers for those two, then for me it is a pretty open and closed case that you move them on whilst you have the chance.
Are we low on numbers tomorrow? Yes
Are we probably going to lose tomorrow anyway? Yes
Will they bring in replacements that surely can't be any worse? All being well yes
I get that last point is probably where it lies, but I can't see why we're getting upset about losing Waghorn and Kane.

I was at Sheffield United yeah, he managed a shot on target which is a lot more than your mate Tavares has done since that goal

It’s clear Robins wanted Waghorn and Kane off the wage bill. He also expressed concerns about the timing of Waghorns departure today in his interview. So for him to decide to do it must mean that he sees getting rid the lesser of the two evils.
At the end of the day our season isn’t dependent on the result against Burnley where we are expected to get beat anyway it’s a free hit. Even if Vik got injured and we have to bring on Nee it’s not gonna be a season defining moment. Obviously getting rid of the alleged 10k a week is more important for this windows business than keeping waghorn to warm the bench tomorrow.
If waggy got injured tomorrow or another target Huddersfield are after became available over the weekend then we would be kicking ourselves that we are stuck with his wages for rest of the season. It might free up more business for robins to do or allow him to go after better quality.

If someone gave me the choice of being a bit short of bodies tomorrow but getting two highly paid players off the wage bill to allow us to try for better for the rest of the season I'd rip their hand off. Robins said himself in his interview that sometimes things don't quite line up as he'd like.

Was gonna say, according to the itks waghorn was on the list to get rid of in the summer but it didn't happen for whatever reason. You imagine now we've finally got a taker, we say we'll let him go after tomorrow's match, he then does his calf in for 2 months and we're stuck paying full wages.
Nah I agree with getting him out ASAP. We deal with tomorrow with Vik and if the worst happens, it happens, it's Burnley away it's a free hit and MR clearly has irons in the fire for this
we've just signed someone miles better than him.

Anyone who can't see that getting those two gone is anything but brilliant news is just after a whinge. You can't pick when you get an offer; we've got rid of deadwood, leaves us better placed to grab someone better.
We've got half the window to plug the gap at CB and poss. someone at CAM. Walker or Godden to chip in with a few each. Still too dependent on Vik and O'Hare but fixing that in Jan is wishful thinking.
Also, I wanted Waghorn to come good but if the timing of him going before Godden and Walker are fit means we get a look at Bapaga, I'll take that. He picked a good time to bag a hat trick in the U21s!

It's a double edged sword.
Of course letting them Waghorn leave today (Kane's replacement was already in before he left) leaves us short up front tomorrow, but it is one match which frankly we'd all be happy to get anything out of. Plus Waghorn would've most likely been on the bench and hasn't exactly been a game changer when we have used him.
On the other hand we bring in his replacement before letting him leave, but during that time the other team decide to sign a different player instead. Or Waghorn gets injured in training. So then we have both him and his replacement taking a hefty wage for the rest of the season which could cause all sorts of financial problems.
If someone was willing to take him on a deal that suited us then let him go before they change their minds.
Of course if we go another two weeks and we've got no further reinforcements I'll be getting a bit annoyed but as long as we get those couple of players in the door during the window that's fine by me.

Clearly Waghorn hasn’t been let go without Robins having a replacement in attack coming in early next week imo.
Getting a shot on target seems a fairly low bar to be honest.
My mate Tavares? Where does that come from?
Lamenting the loss of Kane and Waghorn seems a really strange hill to die on.
You're normally a pretty pragmatic poster... seem to have lost it a bit tonight... all OK?
