    Godden was a good signing at 28. Turning down money at 31? Mad. Adebayo would have been better at 22. Vik for £750k is / was even better. Waghorn bad. Patterson for £400k bad. Look, We are a club that had to sell one of our best defenders to pay some bills recently. To have future...

    Godden was a good signing. I’ll repeat. Godden was a good signing. However. Extending his contract after his injuries and then turning down £££ from daft Huddersfield (and then selling Hyam)? Genius according to some. The art is knowing when to cash in and stop chucking £££.

    I think the mindset is positive that the club doesn’t do something negative. Like splodge what little money we have on nonsense. Many on here would rather risk and invest in future talent, having a positive mindset to nurture and grow. That.

    Godden? How many goals and games this last year? Should have kept £500k and signed Adebayo before Luton swooped in. Sorry - just my opinion.

    It’s different coffee. A 30 year plus keeper or non-nonsense centre back or midfield general needs different attributes to wide or central players. There might be a statto on here that will prove me wrong but Fadz / M Doyle played generally in a central zone where sprinting and acceleration...

    “£400k is quite trivial” Then let’s say we give Paterson £8k week plus add ons (tax, med. ins, whatever) call it £10k cost, contract for 18 months; what’s that, well over £1m plus spend over 18 months? We could have a recruitment department of 10 people minimum working full time with bods in...

    There’s some characters on here. Suggesting we pay £400k plus then decent wages to a 31 year old who is out of favour. When, in living memory, has CCFC paying a decent fee for a 31 year old worked out well? I’ll wait.

    100% If he is costing them £10k week or whatever and not in their plans then they want him off the books, surely. He’s 31. Very unlikely that there is a big queue of clubs wanting to pay a fee.

    So what we are saying is that Swansea let an out of favour player go, for nothing, in January. Now…. About Paterson…. where is he and is he in favour?

    Bidwell was a January signing and was apparently free (correct me if I’m wrong) and was 27/28 not 31. What January has to do with the point of spooging money on 31 year olds I don’t know.

    He’s 31. Waghorn was 31 and we didn’t even pay a fee. Such a similar story - was good but now on a downward trajectory What’s that definition of madness? Making the same mistake over and over and hoping for a different result? Please let’s not have another Beavon / Waghorn and FFS not pay any...

    Good point about Gus being able to go out right. Originally a right back wasn’t he? If we ever get short on RB and Eccles and all the other mids are fit then it might be an experiment- Gus out wide hitting fizzy crosses over.

    Wilson 7 There is no doubt at all now that he is our best keeper after Moore’s madness this season. Today he made a couple of great saves, distribution was ok, ran out well and wound everyone up. That’s Ben Wilson. Dabo 6 Better than of late but still some crazy craziness when it came to pass...

    Allen 3 chances now. Fair enough for getting in position but c’mon man, get a shot on target.

    Palmer needs to do a bit of trickery past Cork and draw a foul. He’ll go I reckon.

    Free on an 18 month? Maybe. £400k? No. £250k? No. Bag of liquorice allsorts? Maybe.
