One good season at this level and he'll turn 29 during the upcoming season. He would still be a gamble. As a joint record signing, I don't think you can afford that to be a gamble. The only positive is I can't see us bidding £8m. If we have then it'll be accepted in an instant, and if not then Ipswich are bigger fools than us. I'd be happy with him if Vydra leaves because he can play multiple positions and seems like a player who would suit Frank's system. The £8 million fee is way too much but I'm hoping it's more along the lines of 4 or 5 million up front and the rest should we go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article did say £8m rated Waghorn, not that we’re spending £8m Another Nicko scoop - 'Derby may or may not be talking to Waghorn. They might buy him but they haven't yet'.

Rampant Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Johnson is ex-Norwich so doubt he'd go there. Any two from Martin, Anya, Butterfield, Blackman and Thorne presumably? Edit: forgot Jerome and Nugent What on earth is going on?! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £8 million fee is way too much but I'm hoping it's more along the lines of 4 or 5 million up front and the rest should we go up If we start the season with Marriott and Waghorn as main choice strikers, plus one third choice out of our current players, and then sell or loan out the rest then you'd have to think we'd probably be stronger. They would also be Lampard's choices so you'd think they'd suit us better than any we currently have. But I genuinely wouldn't want us to spend any more than £3.5m or so to be honest. I think given his inconsistent record he's still a gamble, plus he's fast approaching his thirties which is something we aren't short of. If we're hoping to play 4-3-3, which is the formation which looks to give us the most balance, then we're going to potentially have Marriott, Waghorn, Wilson, Jozefzoon and Lawrence for the front three positions. You could then possibly add Bennett and Thomas as squad players, which would give us seven players for three positions. That's more than enough, but we'd then have the issue of trying to cut Vydra, Jerome, Nugent, Blackman and Martin out of the squad. That's a lot of work to do in about 2 weeks.

Carnero Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hilarious the number of drama queens on here! Waghorn is a good player, gave Keogh & Davies a beasting at Pride Park last season. The fee won't be £8m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
