Waghorn, master scorer

[Tony]

Just checked out his record at Championship level. Before last seasons mammoth season when he scored 16 goals in 44 games his previous record is 13 goals in 88 games. Not impressed.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Thanks for that insight.
Thinkn it’s been mentioned on the other threads about Waghorn.

 

[SteveBlade]

Those statistics are fake news.

 

[Gin&Juice]

He's a changed man nowadays. He started practising Kabala last season.

 

[JohnDenver]

Odds of us affording a 20 goal striker fresh off the shelf?

Not since we had parachute payments.

 

[FTPE]

Makes you wonder why huge clubs like us, Derby, Boro and even Ipswich want him so badly then.
Maybe nobody thought to search him on Wikipedia first!?

 

[Jon Bon II]

In Sharp we trust then...

Good job he's going to Derby then.

Leon Clarke's previous 2 championship seasons were:

2014/15 - 3 in 29 for Wolves
2010/11 - 1 in 21 for QPR/Preston

What's your point?

Sharp would have scored 20 goals last season if he had been played more often.

Wilder's decision not to bring him on against Wednesday at Bramall Lane still baffles me to this day.

He scored 27 for Rangers in 57 appearances, that's almost a goal every other game - not bad! (I know, it's Scottish opposition though!). He's been in and out of teams a lot, often used as sub, during his career. I think he's very capable tbh. Always seemed to be a major threat whenever he played against us.

Was that the game we won 2-4?

Not just Scottish opposition, mainly Scottish 2nd tier opposition. The same division Scougal and McNulty came from. In a team creating lots of chances. My Scottish mates think it’s hilarious that he’s being banded around with that kind of price tag.

The longer the Waghorn saga drags on, the less inclined I am to think we should sign him. Or the rest of the dross that's been mentioned so far as attacking options. I was of the opinion that a bit of pace wouldn't go amiss but the way United play it's not the be all and end all. Sure there's the quick fire passing but the trouble is by the time we've fannied around getting it out to the wings, the pace of any striker is nullified. He could have done a lap around the pitch given the length of time it takes to get the ball across. So that leaves us with needing someone with the nous to knock it in when the ball finally arrives and we've got two of those already. The age thing is the only concern but we've got the next 12 months to sort that one out.

Serves me right for trying to be a smart arse

No.

No.

Yes Yes. I fucked up. Hands are held high, head down in shame.

That's a poor record for a half decent striker playing in Scotland.

Wanghorn? Wanghorn? Who's this Wanghorn everybody's talking about?

Well that's good cos we are not getting him.

 

[Fraggle Blade]

heard that he will be signing for Derby at £4m plus add ons

[Digger]

I was a few levels below the underwhelmed level when we signed Leon. That didn't turn out too bad did it?. Waghorn would be a great fit for us.

Scotland!
i don’t get the fuss but i can trust CW.. i’d never heard of JoC either

mine too hence the skepticism
Rangers mates reckon ‘he’s ok but not 5 mill ok’

 

[DronnieBlade]

Fuck it.

Go with Sharp, Clarke and McG. Bring back Ched at Xmas.

Freeman and a few of the others as cover for injuries etc.

Save the loot. If we gonna spunk it, let’s have a massive Peroni bender

UTB

We should try and shoe-horn Waghorn in then. 28's not owd for a striker anyhow. He's got a few more years left in him yet and I think he'd be a good signing for us. Although I hope we are also still looking for someone younger with height and/or pace.
