    I always thought he was a half decent player. However I thought we needed more of a target man

    Spanish - first thing that came to mind was not another 33 year old has been to be honest.....

    Then I did some reading, turns out he's 27, a club once paid £3 mill for him! Shows what i know.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyn_Waghorn

    VERY good goal record in Scot Div 1 - granted I could probably hit 15+ in that pile of crap. That said, he did bang a few last season in the Scot prem....

    On the basis of -

    * Would already have a good understanding with Garner.
    * Is apparently an absolute handful.
    * McGoldrick is likely to be injured half the season ( rumour he's on his way yet and I wouldn't mind that at all lets say.... )
    * Sears - well Freddy ..... that miss for 2-0 vs Brum really underlines we perhaps need a more reliable source of goal..... we need competition up top.

    £1 mill for a 27 year old with such a goal record, played for a good range of clubs is an absolute bargain in this day and age and I would like this done.

    Craig Noone for £500,000 is a potential rumour too along with a Leicester loanee - jesus christ are we trying to do something for once!? COYB!

    I see he's another 5'10" striker,let's hope it means we're going to move away from the long ball game!

    Looks like a good signing, improves our attacking options and seems to be a handful.

    I'd also bring in Noone out wide. We have a young winger on loan in Celina, I'd rather have somebody with Championship experience and a proven record at this division than two loanees.

    Encouraging moves if the club secures both their signatures.

    Noone would be a quality signing and I'm surprised that Cardiff are letting him go!

    I really hope we can pull this signing off. <ok>

    Waghorn confirmed. Not messing around here. Good addition and glad we're still splashing a bit of cash despite the opening day win.

    Yeah credit where it's due Nugg......although imo we are not splashing the cash at long last there does seem to be a trickle of funds.

    I'm happy with this.
    He always caused us problems and as Bigal says, hopefully more 'on the deck' football.

    While Noone would be a good signing and a thumbs up from me, Celina is different class. Cannot wait for him to get off and running!

    Thank goodness you didnt say Horny Warky!!

    Things are suddenly looking a lot brighter....has ME seen the light?

    Not too bothered by Luton game, but good chance for our fresh faced newbies to get in the action.
