He wasn’t good before he got covid that’s the point.

Waghorn and Kane both big earners, think we’re gonna put a bit of a bid in for someone decent at centre back or up top

Patterson does seem to have decent games against us, but without his Coventry connection would people really be that bothered? I’m sceptical. All a bit Clayton Ince

Exactly, his career goalscoring record is 1 in 6 - half a mill fee+wages sounds big for a 30 year old with no resale

This continual hankering for local lads/ex players bends my head tbh

Let's not hate on Waghorn to much, think he was clearly a decent professional and a good player to have in the dressing room and training ground.

However the right decision to move him on, high wage and picks up too many injuries and when he does play hasn't produced enough.

its not exactly a brave new world if we are having to ship players out before getting new ones in

Paterson has stats that suggest he will be a great signing at this level




18 goal contributions last season alone

Do you think Hudlin is good?

Also if Tavares is as bad as you say he also got a Championship club to sign him.

Paterson was excellent last season.

What we'd give for 18 goals and assists from AM right now.

Certainly a bad decision in hindsight to sign him, but considering his history and the fact he scored a few in a struggling for goals Derby side the season before we signed him it wasnt that bad of a pickup, first 10 games he looked like the perfect foil for Vik, I think the injuries and Covid took it out of him and he is in fact finished now. Good luck to him though

He scored five goals for Derby the season before we signed him.

Waghorn has been a wasted wage , he started brightly and looked to link with vik well but has genuinley contributed nothing since .

Crazy to argue that he's offered much at all

No it isnt. Players of a certain age can have an injury and a lay off and they just lose that yard of pace. For example Kelly. Happens all the time. It wasn't like he contributed nothing.

It is why I have been concerned we havent got a McFadz understudy in already before this season. He is playing on borrowed time.

We are getting rid of probably 12k a week. If we passed up on that opportunity now it may not come again. Its a no brainer to let him go given the opportunity even if no one comes in beforehand

He was on his way down when he signed, I hoped we'd get an Indian summer out of him. I thought he gave his all when he played, just too many miles on the clock unfortunately.

Kanes going to be on over 10 too so if charlton are paying half, and Huddersfield reportedly paying 90% of Shithorns wage, then thats a good 15k saved

Good professional but never quite worked for him here.

Was not going to be a starter for us, even in a two when Godden is fit, and not an exciting player to have on the bench as he’s not a game changer. So it was right to move him on.

If he was one of the higher earners, it’s even more of a fantastic bit of business!

It's a matter of timing I suspect. Ideally we would be bringing in a players replacement before one leaves. However, with the limited amount of takers for Waghorn on the salary he commands I suspect it was a matter of jumping at the chance of doing the deal and dealing with the replacement at a later date.

I know you enjoy being contrary at times and it can make for good debate, but based on what you have seen and knowing he is a high earner, do you think it was a mistake to let him go?

No one has a clue how much waghorn and Kane are paid and if we are still contributing to those wages
