Maybe up to a stone. That extra weight helps him be strong but he was always strong enough earlier in his career when in my recollection at least he was lighter and quicker than he is now. I think he can get the balance better physically.

Martyn’s tail was Wagging

All eyes were on Ipswich’s in-demand frontman following a week of speculation.

The forward was all smiles as he warmed up at The Hive and certainly didn’t give the impression of a player with his mind elsewhere, before he was deployed in two different positions against Barnet.

He spent the first half behind loan striker Sears, where he was able to drop deep and push on in equal measure and try to dictate the tempo of Ipswich attacks.

Waghorn then took on central striking duties in the second half, with his set pieces again looking dangerous but not finding his way to goal. He played the full 90 minutes, despite at one stage looking to be struggling with a tight hamstring, so no wrapping a prized-asset in cotton wool here.

Speculation regarding is bound to continue between now and the closure of the transfer window on August 9, but it’s clear Hurst values his input highly and is still working to decide on his best position within his side.

Ipswich forums in meltdown at the confirmed bid. Hopefully this one comes off. Be an astute signing for this league which will show clear intentions to the current crop of players we have.

Without wishing to put Roygbiv out of a job...

This would p*ss me off big time tbh, everyone has a price but f*ck me without him we have no goals in us, the club supposedly want 7 Million for Waggy so I can see some kind of compromise happening here and him going. PH was on the radio this morning saying he cannot guarantee Waghorn will be here on the opening day. Feel totally deflated at this news, one step forward, Three back.

They sell David a brooks for 12million then get Waghorn for 5? That would be a joke. Brooks is a half decent youngster but no way he is worth over 2x Waghorn?

If we do decide to sell I think the minimum we should be asking for is 7 million + add ons.
My concern is if he goes we end up with another Murphy situation, panicking and getting in a Leon Best type of player again.

f*ck it, call me a glory supporter, but we've all sat through enough sh*t for the last 15 years, if this happens, then I'm gone until we have something to cheer about again. With the weakness of the squad, this would be suicide. Webster and Waghorn gone, they were the only players at the cub I rated above average and would turn up to see.

I think PH has said he wants Waghorn at the club but this will come down to ME and what he decides, I can't see a bid of Six Million plus being turned down personally. As pissed off as I would be much depends on his replacement and a 3 or 4 million pound purchase at least would be a must !!! Hopefully Waggy will say he wants to stay !!! As for Webster Ricco, I couldn't care less tbh.

Would be interested to hear what the Ipswich vlogger Benjamin Bloom thinks on the matter – very reasonable assessments of our games last season.
 
What do people think about Wilders interview? Particularly around the forthright way he came out and said we had a bid in for MW. Not like him to be like that, especially when ITFC haven’t acknowledged our interest specifically.

Games? Confidence? Warning to existing strikers?

I think it's got to be pretty close, wilder never mentions interest or bids in until it's near completion. Maybe smoke and mirrors about Ipswich's situation in regards with the bid.

I'm surprised he game out with that. It's a dangerous game, Ipswich might just tell is eff off to appease their fan base. I can only think he's done it because Waghorn wants to move to us and Ipswich are playing hard ball
 
Maybe other targets we have no idea about. Putting a bit of pressure on those other bids as deadline and new season gets nearer. Wilders signings nearly always surprise us. I guess there will be more surprises to come.

Games for me. Similar to Coady last year.
 
Hoping the interest in Waghorn comes off, and in preference to someone unproven like Sam Gallagher. I would guess that McGoldrick will also be signed so essentially we'll have Ipswich Town's strikeforce from last season, which might not sound inspiring but Mick McCarthy's defensive football is the main reason there. To score 16 goals in an average Ipswich team is very impressive and he is a dead ball specialist also. If we do sign him we need someone with pace in the hole as neither Waghorn or McGoldrick plus the existing players have any - up top or in midfield.
 

Not that fussed whether he comes or stays put,he's only had one good season (last season),discounting his time in the Scottish league's,Higdon was good up there.
 
To me, it just reminded me of the Coady bid last season. Just depends on how much you believed that bid, considering how much we spent after that. Love it to happen but I have my doubts the bid will be enough to be taken seriously.
 
I don’t see it like the Coady bid at all. The Coady bid was never realistic - he was wolves captain, they were spending shit loads, obviously going to be in the promotion mix, our bid wasn’t enough.

This is Ipswich we’re talking about, we’ve obviously got cash to play with and this seems to have been going on for some time - Coady was one surprise bid and end of story.

I’ll go;

Bid rejected Monday.
Improved bid by Wednesday
Signed by Friday.
Chilling on Sunday.

More likely to be:
Put another bid on Monday
Rejected again on Tuesday
Then we moved onto Walters by Wednesday
And signed him next Saturday
and we all cried on Sunday

It needs some more work granted!

that surprise bid was rumoured to be around £5m, yet we didn't spend half that all season. I think like what Foxy said in the shoutbox, this will need Waghorn to kick up a stink, but he played 90 minutes today and I don't think the wage difference in what we offer him to what he might be on now would have him kicking the managers door down. I hope he does and hope he moves, because he is exactly what we need up top and provides great balances after Done and Brooks.

McG is extra mate. He’s irrelevant in terms of the two strikers we’re trying to bring in. Was Gallagher and Hogan now it’s Gallagher and a near anagram of Hogan.
 
Does also remind me of the Warnock video. Can't remember who it was he signed, but he was trying to see if one of his team mates would be interested and warnock asked him to phone him up and check.

With McGoldrick in the building....

Pretty sure it was asking Barry Hayles if John Harley wanted to come back permanently after he had a great loan spell. They both came from Fulham I believe.

Definitely Webber but never knew who he was asking about
