Srg Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If we hadn’t signed Washington this would make a lot of sense. As it is, a 3rd striker 31+ doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read some of the comments on the Conor Washington thread why don’t we swap him for Godden, Washington hasn’t even scored for us yet and seems to be a hybrid of Caskey,Greenwood &Hales 😀 Edited July 9, 2023 by Henrycav81 i-Ram, ziggyram59 and Mucker1884 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottingram Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Any article that links us with Sharp (and by extension in this case, Godden) is not worth the paper it is written on. Simply not going to happen and nor should it. DiggerB, strawhillram and Srg 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great signing if we can make it happen Yes 👍🏼 ! In my book, after say 33 I am beginning to worry about longevity and acceleration / 1st yard stuff, but given the likes of Didsy, Sherringham, Giggs 31 is fine as long as we don’t pay over the odds. It’s just the fee and and falling resale calculations that need to be accounted for in the sum total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call them by all means but you will be in a queue for ages and will get a message saying your call is important to us. It rings and rings, eventually you give up when your phone battery is shot to run out. If you do hang on for a longer and get through, you get through to an overseas agent who asks you verify your own details and then they transfer you to another line, which just rings and rings forever.

SSD Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't he been injury prone the last couple of seasons or is it Coventry's superstar striker has kept him out of the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we are in league 1 with minimal finances available, you need to get what’s available in the market. Peak age players who are of 15-20 goal standard aren’t going to be available and they definitely aren’t going to be available for cheap. For that reason signing 30-31 year olds on a 2 year deal is great business DiggerB, nogbad van 50 and Carnero 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Imo Godden would be a really good signing at this level. Lets ignore his age, McGoldrick scores for fun last season and not exactly at his peak age. Carnero and QuitYourJibbaJivin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our forward line is coming along nicely! Tbf we've lost McGoldrick, Davies, Stearman, Chester...our new signings might be older but some of those leaving are bordering on care in the community angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Srg said: Not when it’s 100% of your strike force and there’s zero resale value. Resale value doesn't even come into the equation when we're signing people on frees or for nominal fees. If we start spending £500k + on 31+ years olds then you may have a point, but that's not going to happen.
