Martyn Waghorn

[North East Blade]

8 million if he does go I’m glad that we didn’t spunk that much muneh on him

 

[dc_blade]

Ipswich owe us one for driving his price up with our paltry 5 million pound bid.

They should give us one of their other best players on a free...oh.

 

[Maidenhead]

And why is this in Blades chat?

Never been a Blade and never will be

 

[Prestonblade5]

Apparently Waghorn has agreed terms with Derby according to a Journalist that I bump into sometimes while I’m walking my dog (honestly haha)

Just posted that on the other Waghorn thread.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

So if we've missed out on Gallagher, Hogan, Waghorn and Nugent, who's next?

 

[Ricky]

Ah, super.

Add him to the list.

 

[Dane Redhouse]

Don’t get too excited about the derby link. Ipswich gaffer just told their journalists that there’s no bid from Derby. Nothing’s changed from the weekend.

 

[Bladezz]

£8million he’s there. No issue with that. We bid what we think he’s worth and that’s the end of it.

 

[super_pig]

not worth 8 million.. fuck that.

 

[YES Blade]

For £8m I’d want someone with more of a resale value, but if Waghorn was say 24 he’d be valued at £12m minimum.

That’s the market and with our budget it’s not going to be easy for Wilder.

I thought Derby were skirting close to FFP.

How can they spend 11.5m on Waghorn and the winger from Brentford?

Like father like son, spunking moneh where there isn’t any!

Redknapp is his uncle.

Don't think Frank Snr has a reputation for profligacy, Uncle 'Arry on the other hand...

 

[BladeInIreland]

Hopefully it's all done soon and we can move on. I won't lose any sleep over missing out on him of that's the price.

 

[The Crab]

I barely think he's worth £5m, if they want eight they can fuck off.

 

[blader]

If we actually are willing to spend £5 million then we really can be doing better than Waghorn in my opinion.

He’s not young and his scoring record is only average at best.

I’d like to see us move on personally, if we’re spending £5 million it should be on a player under 25 that could double in value in a year or two.

 

[William Large]

There's no doubting he's a decent striker and would definitely have been a good acquisition but £8million...!!!! No fucking thanks. Looks like Lampard is gonna spunk muneh with no regards to value or worth in this division. Typical of Ex premiership players given good jobs with high expectations and zero experience of role or division. Expect Henry to do the same if fat Bruce is given the Spanish archer at Villa.

 

[Steve Mackan]

So if we've missed out on Gallagher, Hogan, Waghorn and Nugent, who's next?

Nahki Wells

 

[raul]

If Frank is given £8m by his Chairman and told he can spend it on Waghorn, I've no problem with that. Equally, I've no problem with someone I mostly associate with Ronaldo-esque celebrations everytime he banged one in against Stranraer or Cowdenbeath going elsewhere either.

 

[I should coco]

Nahki Wells

Uddersfield couldn't hang on to him beacuase of his wage demands. He signed a 3 year deal at Burnley in 2017 and will be on £25-£40k a week.

I'd imagine that would be enough to put up with keeping those Lancashire benches warm.

 

[Ricky]

Adam Armstrong should be next on our list. And we should keep trying for Gallagher.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Marcus Evans may have a shock when he eventually sees the Derby offer,i think that they see it as the perfect opportunity to move on some of their overpaid dross as part of the deal.I wouldn't be surprised if Derby offer about£3m plus a couple of players,they have got plenty of high earners that they are desperate to shift,FFP is hanging over Pride Park and they are trying to sell Vydra to loosen the noose, our offer may start to look more attractive !!

 

[Razor_Blade]

Cold have bought Rhodes from the pigs for that kind of money, now that would have been a fairy tail if came to us then banged them in for fun....

Someone’s telling porkies.

 

[Berlin Blade]

Let them have him.

Go in and spend £2 on Adam Armstrong and £3 million on Gallagher.

That would give us 5 strikers with an almost perfect balance between them.

We'd be able to play them two upfront, big man little man type partnership but without the long ball. Gallagher coming slightly deeper and looking for space, Armstrong off the shoulder running in behind and making space for the likes of Duffy/Fleck to exploit. If either or both score goals, we could be looking at the strike force to get us out of this league, or sell them both for a combined fee of around £25 million this time next year.

These signings would excite me much more than a 29 year old Waghorn.

I think it has been quoted that Southampton want £7m for Gallagher and someone on here said £3m for Armstrong

Or maybe worth next to nothing because he's an untried youngster playing at a lower level that couldn't bridge the gap.

Ofcourse that’s a possibility. However, if you give Wilder £5m, id like to think he’d invest it wisely. Furthermore, you could sign 3/4 promising young talents. Where only 1 would need to come good for us to make profit. Seems to make slightly more sense to me.

Wilder has already said that he's not going to do that. "We're only looking to bring players in that will improve the group immediately" his words, not mine.

His problem is that he is hamstrung by lack of money and our wage structure which means his market place is very limited.

He already knows that of course so maybe he has one or two potential loans up his sleeve or ongoing discussions with agents that we are not aware of, or maybe he thinks more of his existing players than some of our fans do.

 

[Maidenhead]

Sky Ports reporting that Derby have agreed a fee for Waghorn of £4m rising to £8m if they get promoted.

Derby's offer is thought to be dependant on the sale of Vydra to Leeds so if that sale doesn't go through then the Waghorn purchase won't due to Derby having FFP worries.

I wonder how the wage structure at Leeds compares to Derby?

This saga isn't over yet and there could still be a twist in the tail.
