Rampant Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 There is no chance of anyone bidding £2m for Washington. Even 200k would be surprising given his age etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 If anyone pays £2 million for Conor Washington then I'll never watch another football match in my life because it will confirm that the game has well and truly gone mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) 33 minutes ago, MaltRam said: Done well for us when he's played, IMO. Done OK but hasn't really showed anything to suggest he'd have displaced Collins, NML (or anyone else) as a starter had he been fit. Similar to how Elder hasn't really shown that he'd have got in ahead of Forsyth. Not that it isn't good to have strength in depth / options, but committing a (potential) future fee and a whatever wages we needed to offer to get him away from a Championship club (albeit Rotherham) may not have been the best move, all told.

Ambitious Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Quite clearly b*******, but shouldn't be used as a stick to beat Washington with who has done ok for us on the whole. Ted McMinn Football Genius, derbydaz22, Premier ram and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I went and rewatched the Northampton (H) highlights on the back of this amusing rumour. Couple more games like that and we'll have already got value out of him, same with Waghorn v Peterborough. norwichram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Wolfie I'll explain myself to you, and the 6 people that agree with you Washington is 31 years old. He has had 9 clubs, and not played more that 100 league games for any of them. His most prolific period as a striker was for for St Ives town (you know the little place in Cornwall where they paint pictures) where he scored 85 goals in 102 appearances. If we just look at division 1, which is where we have signed him to play, he scored 33 goals in 94 games for Peterborough seasons 2013-2016 when he would have been between the ages of 21 to 24 ish. Now THAT Conor Washington would have been a good signing. However since then he has scored 45 goals in 228 appearances so 1 in 5 He is a bargain bucket, short term signing like far too many. He is an ageing player who has never been great, as his stats show and like Waghorn is very likely to pick up injuries like he has and Waghorn has. As an ageing player he is going downhill now, he's not somebody we can build any sort of future around. We desperately need to be recruiting some 21 year old Conor Washington types from places like St Ives Town or maybe, heaven forbid, being even being a bit more ambitious than the likes of Peterborough - given that we probably have 3 times their support base - and going a bit higher up the food chain than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
