Last that was reported was that he's close to signing for Boro and with Bamford now gone I imagine it'll be finished soon. We still have money to spend (Sky Sports pundits said Mel told them) so there's a small chance it's us, but with Vydra still here I doubt we'll bring in anymore forwards yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traore is set to join Wolves, Bamford already gone, Gibson off to Burnley. You’d imagine they’re set a spend a poo load before the close of the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HertsRam Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I was a bit against us spending a lot of money on waghorn and I’m not saying we will. It’ll probably be boro I reckon. However the way we were playing yesterday i think would of been well suited to someone like him, especially in the first half where nugent was unable to hold the ball up.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Probably Boro. However the fact we have the number 9 shirt available and with what Mel said on Sky last night (Frank can still strengthen), can't help but feel we still might sign him.

Also sort of feel like Boro have had the funds to buy him all summer, so surely if they were really in for him, they’d have done it by now? ?

Rab a dab doo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I agree I think the Waghorn boats sailed but the way Mel is talking we still have money to spend. There will therefore hopefully some in and out from Frank's list before the transfer window closes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't see us signing any more players to compete for that front 3, even more so after Bennett's cameo yesterday. We've got Wilson, Lawrence, Bennett, Thomas and FloJo for the wide spots and that obviously doesn't factor in Anya and Blackman who are still here. Then for the centre forward spot we have Marriott, Nugent, Vydra and Bennett and that's with excluding Martin and Jerome. So unless Vydra leaves or Frank decides we'll be using a formation with 2 strikers on occasion, I don't see us signing him, especially for such a huge fee. And if we do plan on using 2 up front at times this season I'd have thought Frank would have tested it during pre-season If we have 3 attacking players on the bench (excluding Lawrence, Marriott and Wilson who're starting) then 2 from Nugent, Vydra, Thomas, FloJo and Bennett won't even make the match-day squad, so although Waghorn would be a good addition, I just can't see Frank or Mel justifying that big of a fee when we've already got so many options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are numbers so important? Marriott stuck with his preferred number 14 and Martin isn't going to be involved in the first team picture. Maybe the numbers were decided weeks ago and they anticipated then that Vydra would be gone and we'd be bringing in someone like Waghorn so left it free?

Papahet Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can’t believe peeps are happy with the striker options. In the wide attacking areas we are fine, but we literally have Marriott and Nugent who are capable of playing down the middle. The latter struggled massively last night and will struggle for fitness post crimbo. He’s 33 and relys massively on chasing down play. Jerome will likely leave in the coming days, Blackman I’m hoping (or rather praying) is out the door ASAP. Martin doesn’t seem to have a future and can see him going in some capacity. Plenty of wide options, not much down the middle IMO. Can still see Vydra leaving too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Vydra will be here when the window closes, also seems likely he will be in the team too. I actually think it’s a good thing the window closes early, it will give us more clarity going into the season. I’d imagine the loan period until the end of August could see the likes of Blackman, Anya leave. I think we’re waiting on Tammy Abraham for the number 9 shirt, personally.

Agree, too much of a coincidence: Abraham’s at Chelsea, not gone anywhere yet, frank & jody connected to Chelsea & our No 9 shirt is vacant. Not too hard to draw a conclusion!!! ?

Less time for the usual speculative tripe and #ITK bilge that seems to masquerade as topics for discussion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
