Sign him up (satire)

I had the audacity to suggest that rather than sign Waghorn, 33, on £12k per week (over a million over two years) when we hadn’t a pot to spit in we should look at local young players like 6ft9 Hudlin to develop instead.

I thought he might be good to train to get on the end of Hamer dead balls and crosses. Something different.

Low cost low risk punt.

He ended up at Huddersfield who were at the time a higher placed Champ club.

Looks like it was a bad shout. I’ll own it.

I did think BNC looked like Bambi on ice with us and was not particularly good until the Play offs....however, he has played really well this tournament....and looks a lot more composed/orthodox on the ball and less Bambi esque.

Tonight he has been class since coming on for the 21s

He was very useful in the game before, maturing quite well.

Norton-Cuffy's clear improvement is an example why some of our fans should look to give Bassette more of a chance. Players that age with potential can make giant leaps very quickly from season to season.

BNC was a teenager, inexpensive, and capable of holding down a place in the first team and making a positive contribution, even before he started to realise his potential. Bassette is sadly none of those.

Bassette is less than a year younger than BNC. But the point is that BNC was a first team regular in a playoff team two years ago, whereas Bassette is still way off that two seasons later.

In fairness, BNC did not look great most of the season and was played because Dabo had fallen off the cliff form wise, he has become a lot better, as is expected, whereas Bassette is playing in a more tricky position. RWB is not an easy position, but you have a CB covering you, a CM inside of you for an out ball, and a striker as an option too. ST quite rightly are judged by goals and contributions, but it is a much harder position to hold down

I think that’s true, and that’s probably reflected in the cost it takes to sign either player. But I think it’s hard to argue that both players are showing similar levels of promise, or have made similar first team contributions to date.

City missed that boat, he is more or less a first team regular in a mid table Serie A club.

So he's not a first team regular if it's the last 6 games of the season.

A player with some flare, but still some how average. Considering he went into a very good Sheffield United side, that should of kicked him on. Well he looked, very ordinary and became a bench player.

If he could cross well, he’d be starting for a Premiership club in contention for Europe.

A big shame for him personally. Went to a game at Barrow v Carlisle last season. Ground isn't exactly standard of CBS. I hope it turns out to be a good move and he can resurrect his career albeit at a lower level. He didn't seem really championship standard overall but did score some important goals in first year of return to that level so did help us in that season.

Lets hope his injuries subside and he enjoys himself there.

I imagine as you slip down the leagues it’s just another day job to pay the bills - not many do a Godden and flourish later on. Would think his family are more comfortably off than most players at that level.
