t'oldu Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Presume now Leeds have withdrawn from the Vydra chase our interest in Waghorn is also over......... How many times is it now that he has been coming / not coming over the years ?? We should have known there was no chance of it finally happening. Its like the saga of the German Centre Back !!! An urban myth !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Very strange. Do they need help finding a replacement? We’ve got a couple they can have... I can only assume that we’re really far away from the FFP threshold? If we sign Waghorn, plus keep hold of Vydra.. what on earth are we going to do, propose to the league that clubs should start 14 players instead of 11?

HariboWest Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 If he comes in, we have frightening options up front. Our bloated squad will really start to show. Nugent, Jerome, Marriott, Blackman, Martin, Waghorn, Bennett and Vydra all vying for one forward spot. Eight strikers... I don't know many teams at this level that have that much at their disposal ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 At this rate we'll be mortgaging Pride Park to pay for all the new players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF and it’s a big IF we can move them on then their wages alone will pay for Waghorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Would we really be spending 4m on Waghorn if one or more of the below werent happening - A) we have someone else in for Vydra B) we're close to getting rid of a few fringe players like Blackman, Anya, Martin, Thorne, Butterfield etc C) we arent actually that close to FFP limits Cant see Lampard & Mel Morris inparticular putting the club in trouble. Yes we have made some poor expensive signings in the past but we havent been put in trouble because of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have made some poor expensive signings in the past but we havent been put in trouble because of them. Irrespective of whether they were worth it or not, the transfer fees spent on the likes of Johnson, Anya, Butterfield and Blackman and more importantly, the wages for them, Bryson and Martin have been fundamental in our dalliance with FFP.

BramcoteRam84 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Wow we really are going for it. @DCFC1388 is right, either we’re not that close to FFP or there are other things happening regarding our fringe players. If we sign Waghorn there is definitely no future for Vydra here, worst case scenario he’ll go on loan somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 Ram Raider Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I don’t understand why a whole host of clubs, even clubs abroad, are not in for the championship golden boot winner. Doesn’t make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
