They’re nothing alike in style or ability
Awaits Norwich bid for O'Hare after Cantwell is sold...
I think both Walker and Godden would get you the same. Walker got 8 in a team that created virtually no chances while he was injured or ill for half the season.
It was probably dependant on moving Mason etc out the door.If we couldn't afford him it'd have made no sense to have him on trial for this long.
The wages is a difficult balancing act. The majority of our squad came up from League 1 and their wages would be League 1 wages. The players signed last summer will be on better wages and you'd imagine O'Hare, Hamer and Walker would be the top earners. To take the club forward as our revenue increases and following survival in the Championship we inevitably will have to start paying some salaries more in line with other Championship teams. This probably will frustrate some players who have come up from League 1. Dawkins tweet is written as if this is complete mismanagement. Its an inevitable transition from being a League 1 club to a Championship club.

Why give it any credenceRumours at Derby’s end was they couldn’t keep Waghorn because they can’t offer more than £11.5k/wk
Said it before, he’s a decent player but two strikers weren’t close to our priority and if the budget all went there it’s criminal.
Godden can’t stay fit for more than a few games
Tell us why?I maintain something funny has gone on behind the scenes this summer. Whether that’s Robins losing his mind or Sisu not keeping promises, but it’s more than just “a funny summer for everyone”.
Why give it any credence
Oh and to say we didn't need to improve our strike force is...well its very silly indeed
Even if we needed two strikers? Even if?He played six less than Waghorn last season.
You’re missing the point in your desperation to defend the club at all costs. Even if we needed two strikers, we’ve clearly overspent on them because we can’t afford to sign quality or depth anywhere else in the side.

Waghorn was thought to be on circa £10k at Derby, if we're paying him similar or even slightly more, I can't see the problem with that.
How many proven Championship strikers can you get for less?
4 strikers needed in a squad. We had 2
But I’m not defending anyone, why jump to extremes again?
I don’t think it’s as simple as it might seem that’s all. It’s blatantly obvious we thought we’d have moved a few out but we haven’t, that’s going to have a knock-on effect.
as for saying we didn’t need strikers as priority, we’ll we have to agree to disagree, unless we’re saying we wanted to head into another season with Bakayoko and Biamou as our only backup.
No we don’t, we just respond to you because you talk bollocks all the timeYou, @mr_monkey and @Ccfcisparks pop up every time anyone says anything short of “isn’t our transfer window going swimmingly”. It’s tiring.
Im no fan of Biamou, but I’d rather him on the bench than Drysdale, Reid or a 17 year old kid. I’ve explained myself over and over and the constant either reading comprehension failure or intentional twisting of my words is getting boring.

it’s not going swimmingly but it’s not a disaster either, not sure why you get so wound up when people have a different opinion. I’d like to have signed a couple more but it just hasn’t been possible, probably due to not moving people on. But it hasn’t been that bad of a window, I’m much more confident this season especially with a solid year’s championship experience, which i thunk is important.
as for this stuff about players being annoyed about how much Waghorn earns & what’s left, don’t really know how to respond, as I’ve no idea if there’s truth to it or it’s nonsense.
not if Robins was expecting to move Jobello, Hillsner or Mason out. They haven’t gone so can’t afford him- just juggling the money
It was probably dependant on moving Mason etc out the door.
For all 3 combined perhaps, Kasta too. But if we're at the point where we're relying on that to give a 34 year old free agent from Luton a deal then I'm struggling to make it all add up.
Who cares? We want established strikers at this level we have to pay for themGod how much are we paying waghorn then
maybe Robins just didn’t like the look of him or didn’t want to offer 2 years- are we certain that this was a financial decision or is that part of the Dawkins rumour?
Goodwe apparently offered Craine less than 2k lol

He was saying that Patterson was really impressed with the offer. I think the offer to Patterson has gone on Waghorn hence the bitternessDidn't this guy say with some certainty Patterson was signed.
Also is he really moaning that sisu are actually forking out wages for a striker? They can't win can they. Don't pay enough, tight bastards fuck off. Do pay enough, how dare they not save any budget for a 35 Yr old past it short term player who chances are would be 4th choice if everyone was fit
I don't give the Dawkins rumour any credence but he's implying we offered so much to Waghorn we can't give contracts even to the likes of Cranie. I'm more thinking Cranie wanted 2 years because he's in the twilight of his career and we wanted to give him 1 because he's not a long term option. Maybe we tried compromising with an extension clause and he held out so we parted company.
could well be. Wonder if he regrets not staying at Luton now…
