RUMOUR - Martyn Waghorn to sign

[Terminal Boardom]

Also do my eyes deceive me or has 1Berks’ drivel been purged from the system at last – if so hallelujah.

I hate to spoil the celebrations but I doubt he is gone - he's probably at special school!

Corrected for you

Can anyone confirm his weight and height as to me those stats make him a little on the spherical side!

I'm going to miss that little twat, despite having him on foe for the last 2 days. I've met some thicko's in my time, but he took the biscuit ...

The funny thing was, he's actually that retarded. Have you heard of the iFooty app? He's giving everyone hell on there at the moment. And also on the RFC Cover It Live. Apparently he's 42 and married with 3 children. That I find difficult to believe..

[Royal_Delight]

Really happy if this is true. Looked great before his injury.

He looks like a piece of quality. However his celebration needs improving!

[1871 Royal]

Yes please for Waghorn!

[Ian Royal]

I can't believe this unfortunately. I can't see us spending that sort of money, before we've got a significant transfer fee in. If we're trying to offer everyone a contract, as Hammond has said, then we aren't going to have any outgoing done deals yet.

I'd be very happy to see Waghorn here. Seems a very McDermott striker.

[urz13]

Seemed to score a lot from long goal kicks. Federicis excellent kicking could therefore be very useful with Waghorn

Would be a very good fit and like for like replacement for Shane. Stats don't tell the picture at all really, took a while to get going at Leicester but once Fryatt got injured and he became the main striker he was very very good. Surprised by that height given, seem to remember him being about 6ft. Got injured in the second season and then struggled to get in the side due to loanees.

I'd expect the deal would be around £1million with add-ons (goals scored, promotion) to take it to just shy of £2million, which is how Mills' deal was structured.

[JimmytheJim]

It would be interesting if true.

Doesn't seem to be supported anywhere outside of this thread though.

[LoyalRoyal22]

Perfect replacement if we lose Long. Always liked Waghorn, works hard, nice left foot and a strong player, could play him in a 4-5-1. yes please!

ah come on, the club know well in advance the ins and outs. and we wont be paying 2m up front. itll be like Mills was - 1m up front and the rest on promotion, probably a sell on too.

Even so, it's a lot of cash and just not how we operate. Look at Smith we wanted him, but we had to wait for whoever it was to leave (Hunt?) before we had the funds to put a big enough bid in, which meant we got gazumped.

It wasn't the fact we waited for whoever to leave, it was the fact we put in about 5 bids but offered a derisory amount so go rejected about 5 times, had we just offered a reasonable amount up front straight away smith would have been a reading player.

[Ian Royal]

I'd suggest that's because we didn't have the money to put a bigger bid in, until we got some money in. As I said.

Only the club know for sure though.

not how we operate?? so we didnt sign matt mills in what could be a £2m deal then? That's the same as this.

And we paid that during the whole Smith fiasco, which happened after we sold Doyle for a record fee, so I'm not sure how you can argue we needed to sell before we could sign Smith...
