Waghorn..... (1 Viewer)

[Deleted member 5849]

I *still* don't get why we think Waghorn will be on this humungous amount. Journeyman striker, been at a near bankrupt club at the wrong end of the table, not a stellar season by his standards last year. It's not like the top of the Championship would be fighting to sign him. His options would be teams of our level, really.

(And it's on that basis I think he's a good signing!)

Silly billies falling for the bait. And even sillier billies agreeing.

Foghorn's career is on the decline. Max was improving steadily every year, we forget he was non league a few years ago.

What absolute bollocks. Max is only one year younger and if he was so good he’d have a club by now at the same level instead of watching his old club from the stands

Max turned pro when he was about 26...........Come on mate!

Fucking hell..

Mr Greggs is partial to a wind up

Yeah '2 foot the shit out of him' 'snap his achillies'........says the bloke who asks his mrs to get the daddylonglegs out the bathroom.

I didn't say snap it. I said stand on it.

Get it right.

I don't mind daddy long legs, it's moths they scare me.

You’re speculating his wage based on nothing. I also remember you also speculating that ‘Robins had lost the dressing room’. That turned out to be complete bollocks as well

Waghorn will be our highest earner probably 12k or maybe slightly more max must of been on around 2-3k a week

Funnily enough (well for the sake of my analogy) I'm the highest paid bloke at my new job, was employed to really change the place, not really done fuck all yet though. I had a decent time on my training day though. Fuck it anyway, i'm retiring in a couple of years!

Again, if you think Biamou is a similar level and he’s available for a quarter of the wages why aren’t there a host of Championship clubs vying for his signature?

he’s probably unavailable to play since he bought a season ticket at the CBS to watch us every match

I just think if we're gonna fuck someone off who is reliable but doesn't rip up trees, replacing him with someone reliable who doesn't rip up tress and is on 4 x's the money doesn't really make sense.

 

[shmmeee]

The Max love in is as always ridiculous, but I’ve seen nothing from Waghorn’s recent past or since he’s signed that suggest he’s a decent signing. All we’ve been told by his supporters he brings to the team is already provided better by others (O’Hares chasing and Hamers set pieces), Walker and Györkeres will score more, he’s got no resale value. Very very strange signing.

 

[David O'Day]

Waghorn is a far better footballer than Max


End of really

 

[Sick Boy]

Many including seem to dissagree.ing he doesnt turn out to be a journeyman creaming his last big contract.

Will wait untill he bosses a few games like Biamou did last season. Even Biamou managed to win a few games single handedly with his determination etc... Brentford and Rotherham and was motom on more than one occasion.

Doesn’t bother me, I took torrents of abuse for daring to criticise Thorn while ‘the experts’ were droning on about swimming across the channel with a fridge on his back

A striker scores goals max scored more last season that Foggy

After your Luke Shaw summer are you really debating the quality of footballers?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Right, so I assume he will end up at a Championship club in the near future given he’s at least as good as Waghorn and on a quarter of the wages?

Jose also shared my view on shaw...shaw proved me and jose wrong

 

[Nick]

Guess cc84cov needs something to bang on about after his obsession with Sheaf and how he wouldn't play to get us out of signing him.

 

[Sick Boy]

Those who’ve taken the bait have really shown themselves up.

Foggy was signed to take corners - free kicks and pens though. Bet he's never scored an overhead kick either.

I wasn't overawed when we signed him as it's a clear departure from our usual type. But to me he looks like an intelligent and skilful footballer - a cut above the other strikers in that respect. I think we'll see him becoming the 4th wheel in the Dabo/Hamer/O'Hare triangle of good footballers that put some really nice moves together.

Still can’t believe he takes corners he’s our main summer striker option

 

[Gint11]

10k a week for 5 goals a season??? Oh yeah......corners free kicks and pens!!!

Why take such a negative view?
I said 5-10 and if that’s on top of Walker bagging 10 and Godden bagging 10-15 and Victor getting 7-10 we’ll be alright won’t we?

 

[David O'Day]

Jose also shared my view on shaw...shaw proved me and jose wrong

Jose is a floof who's now had more clubs than Greg Norman

 

[cc84cov]

If he scores Saturday it was a bargain of a deal signing him I’ll also add

 

[cc84cov]

Shall we discuss how many trophies he’s won ?

He was signed as a talisman to resurrect our front line, we moved out 2 forwards who could both score 5 - 10 in 46 championship games. You've answered your own question. He's no better than we already had and is probably our highest paid player.

 

[Marty]

Biamou is woeful, needed 5 chances to even get one on target. Waghorn is a massive upgrade but does he represent value for money? Time will tell...

 

[David O'Day]

Nah, it's not an episode of time team
