Started a thread of it's own.

Can see people saying they will be disappointed,

He would be an improvement on Biamou / Baka and potentially in front of Godden I think.

Different player type to Max/Baka. He's more comparable to Godden in that respect.

Thought he’d be much older than he is - still an improvement on Biamou and Baka

I think he would be decent. Good set piece delivery, works extremely hard off the ball too. Extensive Champ experience too.

Not sure how I feel about this 31 experienced at the level,decent left foot I think we can trust robins to get some something from him,he’s certainly an upgrade on Baka

Don’t think he’s the type of striker we need. Similar to godden and Walker, finishers who need chances created for them. Need some other options.

He's the sort of signing that you make as an established championship team. We should be delighted it's even an option, shows we are now settled in this league

Fine with him as a Baka/Biamou replacement, a lot of Championship experience. Would still like us to bring in someone who can challenge to be first choice striker though.

He's reached double figures for goals in 3 of his last 4 seasons, definite upgrade on the forwards we've let go.

I don't see us attracting any better if I'm honest. Would be a solid signing.

Don’t think so, it’s an upgrade on who we had before.

His recent record suggests that hopefully you’re not relying on just him for goals. Would be good to add some experience to the side and would be a clear upgrade on Max, just depends whether he’s prepared to play that backup/support role on a reasonable wage.

He doesn’t but we can’t have a team entirely of young prospects.

I would imagine he’s on good money and would be the top earner

Improvement on Baka + Biamou and he's a hard worker. I don't hate it.

If he scores double figures he’s worth it. Don’t know his injury record though

Who are people expecting us to sign? We've had people moaning about a lack of Championship standard signings and now there's talk of signing someone who, apart from 3 years playing for Rangers, has played his entire career in the Championship he's not good enough.

He has had a decent career in the championship, it seems to be a move away from our transfer model. Had an underwhelming season last year (5 in 32 appearances 2 in the first 3 games, 2 in the final game and jusy 1 in 28 inbetween) but I cant see who better we can attract or afford. I think he had few injury problems last season, hopefully he is over that.

Your expectations are all over the place.

In the Marosi thread you were moaning that the rumoured incoming GK from Wolves didn't have enough experience and now you're claiming signing Wagorn, who has extensive Championship experience, looks desperate.

Had a bust up with Rooney which lead to Rooney publically criticising his attitude and commitment. Derby fans reckoned that was out of character for him though.

He always seemed alright to me. I guess he's still young enough not to worry about a drop-off in form too. I wouldn't be disappointed with him.

Might work as a foil for Walker, too?

No thanks. Wrong age, wrong sort of striker, would want too much, too poor to be kept by a team that finished below us.

Don’t quite understand that-on that basis should we never sign anyone from a team below us?

Well no because not every player is let go.

I just don’t rate him. Not a foil, not a goal scorer. Just don’t see the point.
