Terry Hennessy Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think Waghorn was like Lawrence, an enigma. We never knew where to play him...like Marriott I guess. Was he a Winger....no....was he a Centre Forward...hmmmm...not really either. He'll score goals though....but I think his average is about 10-12 a season. Either we couldn't match his wages or Rooney didn't rate him. No sign of Wisdom though...not training with us - unlike Curtis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisby Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Sorry much as he deserves credit for playing his part in saving us on the final day of last season he’s done little else IMO. He’s past his best, will be another year older next season and is on the way down career wise. Harsh but the Club comes first, there will be younger, better & cheaper out there so I’m not fussed that he’s gone.

He was at his best for Ipswich when he was a number 9! I remember when he was at Pride Park and he bullied our defence! He was the star man for that team! He strikes me as being a player that need an arm around him, something that I think Rooney struggles with! Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been the number 9 but he could never cement the place under lamps and Martin was preferred over him during his last season with us. He will do well for Coventry.

Don’t think so… The club don't even own their own ground. Ooh, wait a minute..... They will however be playing at the Ricoh Arena next season.

Alty_Ram Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Would have been more than happy to have him around in the squad as an experienced head who can play more than one role albeit none of them outstandingly. Established player on good wages though so we have to be mindful that anyone paid what Waggy would want needs to be fundamental to the team for next season and be one of the first names on the starting 11 teamsheet. I'm not sure he's quite that. Losing him definitely weakens us but it all depends on whether there is anyone incoming I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Best wishes and good luck at Cov Waggy , always gave your all and never hid for the Rams , probably moving on the best for everyone , but you will always have a place in the hearts of the majority of Rams fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the fact is we've had too many players in over the last few years who we've paid zillions for - but have never cut the mustard and left for nothing. IMO we have to follow the path that Wolves and Watford took....having a nucleus of a team and getting in loans (as we successfully did with Mount, Tomori and Wilson). If Rooney doesnt have contacts then nobody does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby blood Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 All the best to Waghorn, gave his all for us, his goal kept us up, and i think he will do ok, at a average size club like Coventry, think his best days are behind now.

Tiverton Ram Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Gutted we have lost Waggy to another team, he always gave his all for the team. Now I think we need another striker to go with Colin Kazim Richards and Bobby Duncan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s obviously been undercover somewhere, perhaps spying in St George’s Park, the *itty Ground or perhaps a bit of the old dog thing.
