Waghorn, Maynard, Bristol.

Horses for courses chaps.

Firstly, Waghorn would most likely play every minute of every game for them. He wouldn't come close to that for us.

Secondly, he would most likely be their main source of goals and so each and every attack would generally see him at the end of it. That wouldn't happen here.

Its like Fryatt and Hobbs, i've no doubt they will be top players this season. But if they were still here they wouldn't even get a 10 minute run out.

The buyer at work (in Leeds), who by the nature of his job has very good contacts just telephoned this one to me quoting "a very reliable source" I hadn't discussed the rumour with him

Doc Fox, if Waggy was THAT good and could score goals for fun at this level, don't you think he'd be our main striker and not a makeweight in a deal to bring another striker in??

In any case, I'd rather we offered them £4.5mil and Howard. I do think Waggy would be useful back-up to bring off the bench when a defence is starting to get a bit tired.

I'm not doubting that Waggy is good and believe he has bags of potential. I even believe that he could do a great job for us given the chance.

But thats where the problem lies, he won't be given that chance with us.

And again i reiterate my point, that within a team with arguably less goalscorers than us, he would score for fun purely based on the amount of gametime and the amount of individual chances he would be given.

this is true, and i found this out last week

what is also true is derbyshire is signing today or tomorrow

Fair enough then Doc Fox.

Hey, we could sign Waggy on loan, then sign him permanently, then sell him for a loss and then sign him again for twice as much when he's the top scorer in the league!



Bring back Peter Taylor, all is forgiven!!!

Ha i agree, it makes ludicrous business sense!!

That is exactly what frustrates me Fox_14

Waghorn can come good, we've already seen it before

Personally I'd sooner see Waggy go to BCFC than Howard.

I reckon that Sven sees in Howard what, as England manager, he used to see in Heskey - a big strong guy, and a good keeper- and layer- off of the ball when spear-heading up front. And maybe with a better eye for goal than (anyway today's) Heskey. Four last week won't have done Howard any harm, even against that opposition. Goals are goals.

I doubt that Sven sees any of that in Waggy, or that he sees much else either, beyond spirit and commitment, and a genuinely nice guy. I do think some of us are letting our hearts rule our heads, where Waggy is concerned.

But anyway, we shall see.....

Im sorry but waghorn would not be our main source of goals infact i would dount hed get the nod over pitman and stead (if maynard were to leave)

Maynard will not go to leicester
