I still don’t think Waghorn was a good signing on paper and said so at the time: 1) we had Godden as an experienced striker, Walker, Tavares etc as backup. 2) he took up a big chunk of wage budget that could have been used elsewhere in the team more effectively. 3) Eg, Using the Waghorn...

Jordan Henderson (ex player basis a bit sketchy but nonetheless) off to Saudi for £12m plus add ons, age 33. They are throwing cash about down there. TBF in the World Cup the Arab teams looked surprisingly capable - just saying.

I see Luton are being charged by the FA yesterday with issues with regards their Sunderland game. They are a danger to the public. The FA should just stop them being in the Prem on safety grounds. If anyone gets a serious injury then the FA will have blood on their hands. The CBS is a safe...

What is it with Charlton and our RB / RWBs? What happened to Kane? Is he still under contract here for a couple of months ? Wiki says 2 year deal from 31st Aug 21.

Once you see it you won’t unsee it? I just see “kinK” The King bit then merges with the big K after the n. Maybe just me. Anyway. “Boyle” always conjured up the image of a big zit so I guess kink is better. Plus, gambling is a negative force so good we have moved away. It’s Doug’s...

Or even Robins himself might be able to Coach a striker.

No. Waghorn. Beavon. Darius Henderson. Yakubu. All brought in and the same BS trotted out: “guile”. “Experience”. “Teach the younger strikers”. Another aging striker taking up a squad place and wage budget. What are we going to do, develop Sharpe and hope to sell his 38 year old bones...

Signing Bright from India is a close as we’ve got I think. What a waste.

Don’t know if a variation of this has been posted, but there are often 2 parts to a player cost: 1) Signing fee / Transfer fee 2) Weekly (monthly) Wages / bonus —— 1) The transfer fee for a player on a three year contract (say £1m Gus) over 3 years works out, what, 7k per week? By paying...

He’ll probably miss it.

Any wage structure that had Waghorn earning what he did needs to get in the sea.

Yes.

I’ve seen the same. Is it wrong to actually hope he needs surgery and won’t be fit before the transfer window closes? Someone needs to put rumours out that “Gyok is crock” If we’ve got a fit Cal, Gus and Gyok early next season we can cause mayhem. 3 best players to pull on a Cov shirt in...

Move to “ex player watch?” I thought the guy had potential tbh. Did a job for us when we’re were at our lowest ebb.

Give Gyok the 30% to sign an extension.

If this is the case (and I’ve no idea and no reason not to believe you) then does that include commission on new contract with current club? Could be an angle.

I think the thing that will irk many is that Bidwell didn’t go 6th. He’s one of our “dead ball” takers, and is characterised as calm. Dabo is neither of those things and to my mind had no business being 6th in line. It’s ifs and buts. Yes. I would have fancied him to get it on target more than...

Left. Left. Got it muxed ip.

Bidwell is ok. Just ok. Decent toward the end if the season but below average for much of the early season. Just my opinion. Attacking wise he’s not Maatsen or McCallum. He’s a left back not LWB. He’s 30. If we get a half decent fee then offski he goes. Buchanan 22? Potential to develop.

Or MA comes in, hands GH, VK, Ben S etc. bumper contracts…. (Partial wishful satire) Off piste, no Betting shirt sponsor… What odds we get Sports Direct all over the front as a makeweight for rent?
