How about that Philip Zinckernagel on loan?Not sure if he will be in Watfords plans next year although I imagine Forest might want him permanently. I’m just chatting shit to be honest!
Pearson fails to get the best out of lots of players tbf.
I wouldn't rule it out.
Not just him, he went on loan to Swansea under Steve Cooper who is a great believer in young players and only started two games.
Oh totally, and he's really struggled to nail down regular game time anywhere in the last few years & obviously has some issues. I'm just saying I can see him as someone we would look at.
There was a piece on a website that said Celtic should replace Tom Rogic with Hamer but it was just some ones opinion
Also Rogic is an attacking 10/8 and Hamer is a 6 so they aren't even the same kind of player
I watch it somewhat regularly to keep up with my countrymen.
Have you seen Alex Bangura play because Ive heard he is a rapid LB who is also relatively strong and stands at 6ft, someone you’d like to see here? 22 years old (I believe) plays for Cambuur
Would have definitely taken him a few seasons back. However, he seems to play in the Sheaf role these days and I would rather stick with him.
Da Costa started a couple of games for his Portuguese team on loan hopefully they haven’t been to put off and we can get rid of him too
One of the highest earners, behind Gyokeres and Godden, meant to be bringing in another striker too, see a loan to League 1 club hopefully covering a decent % of his wages
We definitely won't get a fee for him. I should think we'd happily give him away for free if there were any takers. Unlikely to be any that will be happy to take on his wages though, so the best we might do is cover a small percentage of his wages to whoever he would move onto. My gut feeling is that he will still be with us come the start of the season.
I think it will also depend on whether Gyk stays, whether Walker can be moved on, and the quality of the new forward he wants to bring in.
Like Kelly I sense Waggy wants to play and sitting on the bench every week won’t be the way he wants to spend next season.
Maybe not, but will he be willing to take a big loss in wages to order to play elsewhere? Professionally of course he will want to play week in week out, but the advice and guidance he gets from his agent and family might be otherwise.

I don't personally think we should be giving up on Waghorn. He looked ok at the start of the season and then had Covid and was in and out.
I'd hope that we see a huge step forward in his performances next season.

He reads the game well and has good movement but his mobility has totally deserted him. I think we have Godden for that type of striker. Id personally like a lighting quick front man to offer a different option to big Vik and Godden
Hopefully Derby will want him, maybe on loan, and that may subsidise his wages until he leaves.
We also need a larger and more experienced first team squad for match days next season looks like it’s five subs I’m not sure if it’s seven or eight named for the bench. I’d keep Waghorn.
Depends on what his view is. I can't imagine he's overly enthused with the lack of game time he's received. Assuming the latter isn't sold Godden and Gyokeres are automatically in front of him in the pecking order.
So if it's possible to move him out on loan then it's a no brainer to do that, as there just isn't any sense in keeping a high earner if he's going to be 3rd choice.
Yes he was one of Cambuur’s better performers this season. While not the best technically, he’s lightning quick and strong as well, not to mention he’s only 22 and fits our signing philosophy. He would command a decent fee i’d imagine as his contract is till 2023.
I think he offers something different to godden, personally.
Waghorn drops for deeper and looks to link, Godden tries to get into the box and run channels.
I agree regarding pace to an extent, but I'm not entirely sure it's up front that we need it. I think we need more pace at wing back, as ultimately that provides our width.
I agree, need pace and power in the channels, dabo offers it to a certain degree but hasn't been fit for a while, todd kane offers neither
Seen that, 12 goals in 93 games for them, more of a goal threat than our midfielders! Sure he scored something like 15 goals the year Bristol City won League 1
Too old, McFadz is a good player defends well, brings the ball out from back and a decent passing range, we need similar to him but a few years younger.
He literally is a few years younger
