Godden was absolutely crucial in us being where we are now. Unbelievable in the league 1 and first few Championship seasons. Club legend for me

Put Vik to shame ??
Vik was /is superb. Godden grateful for his goals, but couldn't lace Viks boots as a footballer.

5th highest goal scorer of the modern era after Dublin McSheffrey Ferguson and Wallace according to transfermarkt same number of goals as Regis in 100 fewer games. Absolute club legend.

he'll have signed but announcement will be tomorrow so it looks like he's signed too late to play

They could sign the contract now but have a provision in it that it takes effect one minute after the registration deadline, thus ensuring that he can’t play for us on Saturday.

Godden was running in treacle in his final season for us ; a tough watch.
His finishing was off last couple of seasons too...poor in the play off final.

He's been at Stoke for 3 mins. If I use the same logic , FC L born into privilege and nepotism and keeps on getting jobs on what basis, gets the breaks. Reminds me of how a lot of people in the UK have such severance towards those scroungers at Buck Palace.

Nothing to do with his time at Stoke. I’m certain Robins would still be in the job if he’d stuck with the team that served him well last season.

My understanding is a player has to sign and the league to have ratified the move by 12 noon the day prior to a game taking place. That is Friday for a Saturday game.

Plenty of times in the 21/22 season Vik missed absolute sitters.

He’s obviously a much better footballer, but there were plenty at the time saying that Godden was the better natural finisher

Nepotism doesn’t make one of the best midfielders of all time

Most of our recent announcements have been at 7.30pm or 8.30pm with a teaser 15 mins before. Reckon it will be announced tonight and he will do the pre-match presser tomorrow. Suspect there will be a gentleman's agreement that he won't play Saturday.

We've had an announcement about Rhys Carr already today. Maybe that's our lot for today now. Hope not though

Vik has already outscored Matty in his career & is 7 years younger.

Matty was nvr the player he was after that sitter he missed at Sunderland first match of playoff season.
The 1-1 where Vik scored a Worldy.

Forum | Grimes fails medical !!! by blackpooljack

Apparently when they did his x-ray the found a huge yellow streak running right through him
www.fansnetwork.co.uk

Not exactly glowing endorsed here. Club captain, 10 years, 300+ games

Pleased he's leaving
Slows it down
Only passes sideways


It's like our fans on Sheaf. Only realise what you've got when it's gone.

Yep. His finishing improved as his confidence grew but he was never the most natural finisher.

I don’t know if it’s just a nostalgic thing for me, but I don’t see complete technical finishers anymore like Van Persie, Henry or Eduardo…but I guess in the same way you don’t often anymore see midfielders that specialise in smashing in 30 yarders like Gerrard, Riise or Lampard.

Tbf from their forum it seems they are looking to blame anyone for their current issues. There's a few who see through it though and think they're screwed without him
