Walker is 32, and currently third choice (at best) for a team that occasionally only plays 1 upfront. By the end of this season he could very easily find himself fourth or even fifth choice, and yet he is supposedly one of the higher earners.
Personally I'd sooner off load him for free and utilise the wage to bring in someone who will actually compete for a starting place in an area of the pitch where we need strengthening.
They will be nearer than Shipley, Drysdale or PaskI doubt the two you mentioned will be near the first team
No they won’tThey will be nearer than Shipley, Drysdale or Pask
They are comparable for the level we are now at.
People often forget walker was our top goalscorer in his first season here, before last year at Portsmouth his scoring record at lower levels was good.
I'm not saying he is going to be first choice. But I'm not sure why people think we are going to be able to get someone significantly better as a 3rd choice striker on less wages when we are now a more established 2nd tier side. The wages he is on are still mediocre at best for the level.
I don't love walker, in fact I don't think any player is beyond selling/replacing and if we can upgrade then we should. But if course I do think there is potential there, and I want him to do well, but I just don't think there is going to be many players out there that we could afford that would be an upgrade (at least not on a permanent contract).
We should be upgrading several players, Walker being one of them. However, I don't think our scouting and budget restrictions mean we're up to it.
There's four or five players that shouldn't realistically play for us this season but now it looks like we're settling, even when as recently as the end of last season it was said they would probably be moved on.
Sorry fir the confusion, I meant Waghorn.Walker aint 32 surely?

Wagehorn is on £32k a week? Jesus Christ
Wagehorn is on £32k a week? Jesus Christ
No he’s not. Top earner at the club somewhere around £15/17K
who is that then?
Hamer and O’Hare got new deals recently so would be one of themwho is that then?
Arent they supposedly on around 10/12 grand a weekNo they’re not
Or they’ll get us promoted and sign longer deals?
Come on folks! Blind optimism/Delusion is our friend!
Nome Inventado is one to watch so I hear.
I suspect that everyone starts the new season with a clean slate and it's up to them to prove to Adi/Robins that they deserve more game time than last season.I hope he isn’t trying to convince you or I. I hope he’s trying to convince robins and vivesh that he intends to turn his career around. I doubt personally he can or will do that but would be pleased if he does.
Never looked at it like that before. You think he's one of the ITKs?Ask slower than platt he seems to know it all
Have I missed what cashman has done?
Gus I think matewho is that then?
It may be hamer is the storyNixon story on us tomorrow and it's not do with O'Hare, probably one of the names of the loanees that AT said would "drip" out
It is, this one looks planted by his agent.It may be hamer is the story
That could be under the Fulham story though, which leaves a separate one for us, doesn't usually coincide with another story.It may be hamer is the story
This is an agent-planted story if ever I've seen one. And I've seen a lot in my line of workThey submitted a bid two weeks ago…now they’re just keen!
Throw the valuation out there for good measure
