Waghorn

[CAFCsword]

There have been talks of Schlupp from Leicester, but what about Waghorn. Whether or not he would take another league drop is another question, but as my missus is a Leicester fan I know that Waghorn is not getting much of a look in at the club.

Matured quite a bit since we had him on loan last. If he would take the drop he would be a great shout on loan for the second time!

 

[The Valley Redemption]

He's not a 20-goal a season man... wasn't overly impressed when he was here before. Would rather have Schlupp

I'm happy with BWP and Hayes- potential for 30 goals + easily. But i would take waghorn instantly, just don't think he would drop a league.

 

[Crack Addick]

Not a hope in hell

With the dough the foxes are chucking about there's plenty of forwards ahead of him in the queue.

I can see him ending up at a Championship club if he goes out on loan... Although... could the gaffers links to city come up trumps again?

 

[Tewkesbury Addick]

Not impressed first time round, although you couldn't fault his work rate - the two Foxes at work were pretty satisfied with his form last season.

 

[Ponders Revisited]

If I was a player like Waghorn, I would jump at the chance to join Charlton. We are a big club, have a great set-up with a good fan-base. He can score a bundle of goals in L1, earn some glory and plaudits and then be back in the Championship within a year. There is a risk of failure, but a risk is better than sitting on the bench at Leicester or being farmed out to a host of other clubs - again.

Season before last he had a great time in the championship. Too fresh on many managers minds- they were quoting between 1-2mil for him earlier in pre-season.

Glad this got people talking, thought I would start this thread before I left work. Having been in a short while and just checking back it's good to see what people think!

However it is a shame it's unlikely, because I think many will agree he would not likely take the drop. But it would be worth a try like others have said with Powells time in the midlands, why not?

With reference to a 20 goal a season striker I think BWP could be that player! He is more than capable in my opinion.

 

[Tewkesbury Addick]

Agree about BWP, Sword and even though this might be fairly controversial, I think with the right service Benson could be one too. The service for all the forwards last season was terrible - hopefully with the greatly strengthened and rather more adventurous midfield setup this season, the chances will be greatly increased and a higher percentage converted.

I stick with it..."twenty more goals than last season scored, twenty less conceded"

 

[afrojaxx]

agree with tewksbury, supply is vital this season and hopefully we may see a 20+ goalscorer back at the valley. weve got the strikers to do it and it could be a big season bwp in his full season for us

 

[CAFCsword]

Nah I would agree that Benson can definitely contribute this season and hope that he stays!

 

[afrojaxx]

yer hope he stays notts county would of been the wrong the move for him as he is still got a chance here
