It’s why I never ever buy the “as long as you give it your all” line when it comes to footballIt is nice to see sensible posts like this get the most likes where as stupid ones slatting players get one or two from the usual bellend posters
There were a few that didn’t want Gyokores.Nobody on here wanted any of the other offerings did they?

While I agree re. Paterson age and little re-sale value wise to get to be a “Brentford “ apart from up and coming decent young players you do need a sprinkle of experience and older heads. Matty James was a good example of that, did well here for a short time, did a job we stayed up and he moved on.I don’t think there were tbh.
We are a development club with what Boddy described as a “Brentford Model” aspiration.
Most sensible people think that signing a full international in their early 20’s is better than signing a 31 year old with no resale value.
Said it at the time abd will say again:
Strange signing. Never going to get a fee for him and not suited to our style of play.
That said, good luck to him
Wasn’t his singing that let him downGood luck to him, it's just a singing that hasn't worked out, and I agree with those that have said since he had COVID he hasn't been the same

Can't believe negativity? He's made 1 million from our club in 2 seasons. He's on half a million per goal..

It’s until the end of the season when I then think his contract runs out?It’s a short loan isn’t it? In that case, he may not do that well at Huddersfield, come back here, and be offloaded to a L1 or L2 team.
It’s interesting it’s not his fitness that has dropped it’s his composure and decision making and control and awarenessGood luck to him, it's just a signing that hasn't worked out, and I agree with those that have said since he had COVID he hasn't been the same

Matty James was 28/29? when he first joined us and was only short term. We elected to not blow the bank by matching whatever other offer he got. This makes giving a two year older Waghorn a high wage contract for 2 years even more strange.While I agree re.

Long covid my arse.Its a possibility that covid could have played a part, he wouldn't be the only pro sportsman impacted long term by getting covid
NHL’s Brandon Sutter says long Covid has sidelined him for entire season
NHL veteran Brandon Sutter says he is still suffering from symptoms of long Covid a year after he first contracted the viruswww.theguardian.com
You're clinging onto this being ill stuff. Even if it is the case and reason for his decline he scored 1 goal from about 15 appearances before that. And again, excuse my negativity for someone whose cost us £500,000 per goalWhich he deserved when he was playing well. He then got ill and as his employer, the club had a duty of care to pay his wages whilst he was ill and recovering. Like they do with O'Hare, like they do with Godden, like they do with McFadzean etc etc
Long covid my arse.
It's a made up illness used by middle aged women to have time off work
Just because this is a football forum doesn't excuse grossly offensive posts like this one.
How many consecutive games has he started since this time last year? His control and awareness look fine to me, he doesn’t look sharp around the box and he looks like a player that needs a run of 10 games somewhere. Lack of goals clearly affecting him also judging by his penalty celebration. If he can go to Huddersfield, start a few games, score off his backside early on, then I can see him getting a decent move to a top end L1 club in the summer. There’s still a player in there somewhere, but it’s not going to get unlocked playing a few minutes here and there for us.It’s interesting it’s not his fitness that has dropped it’s his composure and decision making and control and awareness
I can assure you it ain’t Jim.Long covid my arse.

Yes, Sheff Utd, when he scored the penalty, kicked the hoarding in the throes of celebrating and crocked himself further.I will say during the dreadful opening few months of this season his performances were decent by comparison to certain others. But that injury he picked up against Sheff U seems to have seen to that.
The one thing that has always annoyed is he comes for the ball to feet then spins round and as the ball is played for the run he comes back for the ball to feet and it clouds my balance to everything else about himHow many consecutive games has he started since this time last year?

Desperation to score for the 2nd part I thinkThe one thing that has always annoyed is he comes for the ball to feet then spins round and as the ball is played for the run he comes back for the ball to feet and it clouds my balance to everything else about him
The misses Bristol city and Wrexham when clean through sorry the tame shots at the keeper when clean through were symptomatic of lack of composure though equally could be lack of game time I grant you

Think you are correct there those two misses were poor and the Wrexham one expensive, not blaming just him for the defeat but that miss certainly contributed to a bad day at the office for us.The one thing that has always annoyed is he comes for the ball to feet then spins round and as the ball is played for the run he comes back for the ball to feet and it clouds my balance to everything else about him

Before then, maybe he didn't smash them in regularly. But he was a great foil for Vik. If I had the time I'd look for those match threads. I suspect the feedback on them is positive and he'd have good ratings.
Heskey didn't score many but was important to Owen.
Heskey still scored at 1 in 4 though. Just being a good foil isn't enough really, you still need goal contributions from your second striker.
Waghorn has 2 in 38. Even Biamou managed 5 in 33.
He’s one of our highest paid players and scored once from open play in two seasons. I’d hate to see what a bad signing looks like.Given our budgets and owner at the time, he was an OK signing and did OK.
