Yakubu was older wasnt he and not coming off playing in same league we would be asking him to play?
Also does it really need to keep being said? Mark robins is no Russel slade. Have faith
So you wouldn't take Gyokeres? Thought you wanted signings to excite you. Seems you want a team full of unproven kidsThink I’d rather leave the fourth slot free for a Tavares/Nee/Bapaga to come through.

Was he smiling in the picture?I cant belive we've signed Spongebob Squarepants. No experience at this level, no goals and no assists. Hasn't even played non-league.

Yakubu was past it by the time we got him…in his prime he’d have possibly been one of our best ever strikers.Yakubu was older wasnt he and not coming off playing in same league we would be asking him to play?

We pretty much finished the season playing that way, it workedListening to his interview it sounds like we’re going to Barnsley route next season. High press and all that.

Derby fans aren’t exactly complimentary of him…
You have to remember that the guy who made that post had us nailed on for relegation for most of last season, negative poster who only sees the worst case scenario.Really? Every comment I've seen on Twitter from Derby fans about him has been complimentary.
Ouch! can't agree. hes the Biamou replacement. Will need to come on as sub and hit the ground running with goals to stay in the side. he's 3rd choice or a good option against big teams. Godden will be main striker.
Thoughts on the signing G?waghorn will start as first choice
waghorn will start as first choice
If rumours are to be believed I would hazard a guess that he possibly, could maybe, have been older than his birth certificate suggested.Surprisingly, Yak was only 34 when he was with us and came in from a Turkish top flight team. Waghorn is 31 1/2. But agreed, the styles of play may suit Waggers a lot more than previously. So I'll decide at the end of the season, not before a ball has been kicked.
Cheers mateShows How Far We've Fallen
Thoughts on the signing G?
Id have taken him over Waghorn. I just think we’ve got a few who might do something given a chance at the moment so would be happy to leave the space for kids.
Someone sell this guy to me. I’m not seeing it.
How’s he going to fit into the side?
If you believe the Derby fans he’ll be our highest paid player. Seems overkill for a third choice striker.
Who says he's third choice??
He's first choice all day long imo.
That doesn't mean...Godden and Walker won't get a look in. All 3 will all get plenty of game time.
Still need a 4th choice.
Depends if we play 1 or 2.Think 4th choice will be a young unproven, or they are already here.
Only bloody signed spongebag
Spongebag?? Hahahaha feckin brilliant, there was me thinking his name was Spongebob
Only bloody signed spongebag
Depends if we play 1 or 2.
1 up top and we've got 3 starters then Tavares can come in if needed.
2 then we need another proper player in.
Yeah but there are different levels of prospects. an 18 year old from Ireland with no senior appearances would be different to a 22 year old who has scored loads in league two.We can't afford 'proper' players throughout the squad, there has to be some gambles/prospects
Dabz...McFadz...RobinzWagz, Godz and Walkz.
Yes, we are not in a position to sign the likes of Toney, Pukki, etc. Some people need to realise this. Waghorn is as good as we are going to get unless we are lucky enough to unearth a tremendous prospect from somewhere, which we can still do anyway. Waghorne, Walker, Godden are a massive upgrade on last season IMO, especially if they can all get / stay fit.He was certainly a good player at Leicester don’t know much about at derby but he’s experienced strong and as good as we will get I think

Decent signing for me.
Good experience & pedigree at this level. Strong, decent left foot, good set piece taker & excellent work rate. Maybe not as prolific as he could have been but a good portion of his games have been from the wing.
I think a lot of people expect/hope for a ready made prolific striker & will forever be disappointed. The whole "20 goal a season" striker is a complete fallacy anyway, goals need to be shared around & I'm confident Waghorn will get more than his fair share.
