I *still* don't get why we think Waghorn will be on this humungous amount. Journeyman striker, been at a near bankrupt club at the wrong end of the table, not a stellar season by his standards last year. It's not like the top of the Championship would be fighting to sign him. His options would be teams of our level, really.

(And it's on that basis I think he's a good signing!)

Foghorn's career is on the decline. Max was improving steadily every year, we forget he was non league a few years ago.

What absolute bollocks. Max is only one year younger and if he was so good he’d have a club by now at the same level instead of watching his old club from the stands

I didn't say snap it. I said stand on it.

I don't mind daddy long legs, it's moths they scare me.

You’re speculating his wage based on nothing. I also remember you also speculating that ‘Robins had lost the dressing room’. That turned out to be complete bollocks as well

Funnily enough (well for the sake of my analogy) I'm the highest paid bloke at my new job, was employed to really change the place, not really done fuck all yet though. I had a decent time on my training day though. Fuck it anyway, i'm retiring in a couple of years!

Again, if you think Biamou is a similar level and he’s available for a quarter of the wages why aren’t there a host of Championship clubs vying for his signature?

he’s probably unavailable to play since he bought a season ticket at the CBS to watch us every match

I just think if we're gonna fuck someone off who is reliable but doesn't rip up trees, replacing him with someone reliable who doesn't rip up tress and is on 4 x's the money doesn't really make sense.

The Max love in is as always ridiculous, but I’ve seen nothing from Waghorn’s recent past or since he’s signed that suggest he’s a decent signing. All we’ve been told by his supporters he brings to the team is already provided better by others (O’Hares chasing and Hamers set pieces), Walker and Györkeres will score more, he’s got no resale value. Very very strange signing.

Many including seem to dissagree.ing he doesnt turn out to be a journeyman creaming his last big contract.

Will wait untill he bosses a few games like Biamou did last season. Even Biamou managed to win a few games single handedly with his determination etc... Brentford and Rotherham and was motom on more than one occasion.

Doesn’t bother me, I took torrents of abuse for daring to criticise Thorn while ‘the experts’ were droning on about swimming across the channel with a fridge on his back

After your Luke Shaw summer are you really debating the quality of footballers?

Right, so I assume he will end up at a Championship club in the near future given he’s at least as good as Waghorn and on a quarter of the wages?

Guess cc84cov needs something to bang on about after his obsession with Sheaf and how he wouldn't play to get us out of signing him.

Foggy was signed to take corners - free kicks and pens though. Bet he's never scored an overhead kick either.

I wasn't overawed when we signed him as it's a clear departure from our usual type. But to me he looks like an intelligent and skilful footballer - a cut above the other strikers in that respect. I think we'll see him becoming the 4th wheel in the Dabo/Hamer/O'Hare triangle of good footballers that put some really nice moves together.

Still can’t believe he takes corners he’s our main summer striker option

Why take such a negative view?
I said 5-10 and if that’s on top of Walker bagging 10 and Godden bagging 10-15 and Victor getting 7-10 we’ll be alright won’t we?

If he scores Saturday it was a bargain of a deal signing him I’ll also add

He was signed as a talisman to resurrect our front line, we moved out 2 forwards who could both score 5 - 10 in 46 championship games. You've answered your own question. He's no better than we already had and is probably our highest paid player.

Biamou is woeful, needed 5 chances to even get one on target. Waghorn is a massive upgrade but does he represent value for money? Time will tell...
