Happy Fox Posted 5 May 2011 Author Posted 5 May 2011 Derby are willing to give us an extra 300K on top of the £1.2million http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Derby-ready-to-make-1-5m-move-for-Leicester-striker-Martyn-Waghorn-article731717.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Derby boss Nigel Clough is ready to make a major £1.5m splash to sign striker Martyn Waghorn from neighbours Leicester. Clough will be given cash for a key capture and he wants Waghorn, who is out of Sven Goran Eriksson’s long-term plans as he brings in bigger names. Waghorn joined the Foxes from Sunderland at the start of last season and former boss Nigel Pearson also wants him at Hull. However Clough’s Rams hope to win the race for Waghorn who will be interested in a move away from the Walkers Stadium as his first-team chances are limited.
Criggers Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 If he goes to Derby, he will become a key player and probably be there for a few years. Their fans will love him. Then we will have to listen to our fans rant and rave about how we should have kept him because *insert newly signed strikers name*15 goals before Christmas aren't good enough because they are lazy/fat/too fast/don't pass enough/always score scrappy goals/don't smack it in with passion like Waggy did!

Leicester fans would never moan about anything like that, surely?
rico Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 maybe we could sell him and insert various clauses for goals,England appearances etc.....
Simmo86 Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 maybe we could sell him and insert various clauses for goals,England appearances etc..... Think that might be a bit of a long shot on our part!
rico Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 Think that might be a bit of a long shot on our part! i bet people said the same thing about Peter Crouch!
Lcfclee Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 Waghorn is loved because of his selfless endeavour not his quality I agree with both sides loan him out to a struggling championship side then see how he does if he's crap then let him go if not bring him back I personally would move heaven and earth to sign yakubu perm as hes the best natural finisher we have had since David speedie
jamiegoode Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 what is it with the talk of the person era. hes not our manager now, sven is, every manager is going to have different tactics and playefs styles etc. personally waggy could grow into a good player he has years ahead of him, i think he should go out on season long loan with 1st priority in that team, he just needs time and patience wasnt derby reported to be after micheal owen? whhy spend millions on a prospect forward when they could get an experienced international for free
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 His heart does not seem to be in the Club this season, and his form appears to have gone on a downward slope. £1,500,000 seems a fair price to me.
Wymsey Posted 5 May 2011 Posted 5 May 2011 It'll probably suit him there, average player at an average club.

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 If we sell him i'll crack the shit's and not go to any games next season. Love him!
Adster Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 We can't sell him, coz he plays wiv pashun. PASHUNNNNNNNNNNN. is dat coz he runs round a lot?
Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 Sell him, take the money, and use it to pay for 75% of the Yaks transfer fee.
ozleicester Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 Id like to keep him, still young and possibly a player for the future. He has shown some real good moments...Loan him out have them pay his wages so when we hit premier league hes closer to being a reasonable back up. At the moment we dont appear to NEED the cash for him.
Lcfclee Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 As much as I loved Speedie, surely Claridge, Cottee, Marshall, and Collymore would easily rank alongside him in terms of natural finishing ability? I used speedie as he to divided opinion of the fans
Webbo Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 I used speedie as he to divided opinion of the fans In what way?
Lcfclee Posted 6 May 2011 Posted 6 May 2011 In what way? People hated him for the playoff yet his 15 goals in a season blighted by injury turned peoples opinions
VictoriaaaLCFC Posted 8 May 2011 Posted 8 May 2011 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Derby-are-preparing-a-1-2m-raid-on-neighbours-rivals-Leicester-for-striker-Martyn-Waghorn-article725962.html Nigel Clough is preparing a £1.2million raid on East Midlands rivals Leicester for striker Martyn Waghorn. Derby boss Clough will have transfer cash this summer and is to invest in firepower with Waghorn a top target. Waghorn, 21, has struggled to hold down a place under Sven Goran Eriksson and now has a hamstring injury. But Clough will bid for the former Sunderland star after being promised funds by Derby’s American owners. He said: “If we can bring the players in we would like we will try and assemble a squad to finish in the top six.”
VictoriaaaLCFC Posted 8 May 2011 Posted 8 May 2011 Martyn Waghorn is blue through and through! Sven would be an idiot to let Waggy go, he's a class player and shouldnt abandon the players that mean something for our club.
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 8 May 2011 Posted 8 May 2011 Waghorn & Yakubu in a 442 would compliment each other well. Goalscorer and work horse.
Guest DavidJCW Posted 8 May 2011 Posted 8 May 2011 I really hope we don't get rid of him. Sure he's not played this season and hasn't been on top form when he has played, but how do you expect a player to play with confidence and match sharpness when he's getting only the odd few minutes every month! Waggy is a quality player and he proved that under Pearson when he was here. We need to keep hold of him and actually give him a chance!!!
ajthefox Posted 9 May 2011 Posted 9 May 2011 Thoroughly agree with the previous post. If Waggy was to end up in a Derby shirt a little part of me would die inside...
