I very much doubt you’re right mate. No way COH, Waghorn and others would have signed for £5k a week.

nice to think you are right but if I’m wrong it’ll be only £1k or so more maximum than the £5k I originally stated.

Waghorn seems to be taking a fair bit of unnecessary stick. Him and Gyokores looked a handful against Wolves but less so against Forest. That’s always going to happen to 2 new players in a new system. The one worry I understand would be they can both play but are there enough goals? That’s why there’s also Godden and Walker. Shmeeees has his knickers in a twist about us strengthening up top over defensively and has posted about it about 70 billion times, and while I can definitely understand the need to strengthen at the back, I’d much rather trust Drysdale and Pask at the back than have Biamou or Bakayoko up top. We were without our two centre forwards last season and our back up was dreadful. This season I feel like we have depth up top and while we’re slightly light at the back, (less so since JCS signed) the back up is stronger as a unit than what we had up top last season

It’s not like Waghorn completely stank the stadium up on his debut either. He was average, not shit and not man of the match.

Its clear he sees the problem, but from the outside looking in it seems that he hasn’t got the resources to do what he wants about that problem.

Edit: and I think it’s worth adding in here that I’ve nothing against the signing of Waghorn per se, and I do agree that having 4 strikers vying for first team berths is a good position to be in. But if you spent most of your money on tuning a car’s engine only to find out you could only afford 2 wheels then you’re gonna struggle to justify it.

That two wheeled car is a motorbike. Very enjoyable most of the time but can also be scary. Sometimes very painful. But rarely boring.

Just need to hold on tight and enjoy the journey.

I couldn’t care less what Waghorn earns, or how it compares to other players, especially when we don’t actually know the numbers.

He’s been brought in to score goals and provide the team experience and know-how and will do that. End of thread.

Waghorn is not the star is he, he’s the member of the team. That’s his role. That’s what shmmee is saying you pay those who have the biggest impact the most money.

I hope he had the impact mr hopes he will

Can you explain to me how you’ve come to think the club have ‘wasted’ money on a player who’s played about 70 mins so far for us?

I don't think Waghorn is on as much as people might think and will prove to be a good addition, although i reckon Gyokores will be our top scorer this season.

Well, whatever he earns if he doesn’t perform or contribute then Robins will off load. We’ve seen it already. But I think he will

Dont put words in my mouth c**t. One poster said Waghorn can be moved on if he's shit. Past evidence proves that to be unlikely. Are you drunk this early?

Can’t argue with him Slowpoke. I think Greggs thinks we have to go and get a 20 goal striker that costs oh wait £25M

Real world…..

Real world? What does that mean? The world where your highest paid player is your worst performer?
Just to note, Gykores was cheaper than Waghorn and has played better. Real world.

Is this a true statement or just a guess?

I reserve judgement until players have reached their fitness levels and have got used to how each other play.

If we had to offload Waghorn it would be easier than Jobello etc. He’s got far more pedigree and is a proven commodity at this level. Not that we will need to offload him, Greggs is talking shite as usual

Not surprising really. The other two looked a better pairing when Walker came on, and Waghorn is not a bad option at all to come on later.
