Chunes said:I'd never heard of him before he was announced as a rumour. No idea how he'll turn out. I'll do my best not to constantly compare him to Alfie May.
Hope he's more of a Deon Burton and less of a Chris Gunter.
I agree Chunes.
We don't want a right back replacing Alfie May 😬

Mind you. I did see Alfie at right back on occasion...🤔soapboxsam said:Chunes said:I'd never heard of him before he was announced as a rumour. No idea how he'll turn out. I'll do my best not to constantly compare him to Alfie May.

What did you think of the Sunderland comments when we signed Dobson, did you want to write him off without seeing how the team is set up..Braziliance said:
Those comments and the ones I'm seeing on twitter are a bit concerning, he sounds washed.Callumcafc said:
No turn of pace, no strength, no hold up play, no passing ability and doesn't bury most of his chances by the sounds of things.
We are basically hanging on to the hope that as it's a level down, he should be fine. Can't think of many examples where that has worked in our favour, but can think of a few where it hasn't.
Based on the comments he doesn't sound like he will suit a Nathan Jones system at all, and my early concern that he's probably too old seems to be the case.
When you sign a player, you want the majority of fans a bit annoyed and confused why he's been sold. It's never good when you start reading 'reckon he could do a job' when we already had a bloke doing THE job.
Hope their comments are wrong.5 -

Mmmm, wasn't that similar to what Alfie said when he joined us, let's hope he stays a bit longer than one year as well...🙄

Think that's a bit strong. I certainly don't think that. It's nice when there's a connection nothing more. I actually think it's just nice for the trust more than anything else. I loved those courses a kid and if I'd seen a new signing say they'd done them too I'd have been over the moon.YannTheMann said:

I liked May, but clearly the jury was out as far as Jones was concerned.
So we move on, with what I call 'sceptical optimism'. But maybe, just maybe, Jones feels that Godden will help Leaburn, Kanu (and perhaps Mbick, Casey and AN Other) more than May could .. not because Alfie wasn't a team player, more about style and formation.0 -

Completely different scenario, Godden has essentially replaced our golden boot.CoveredEndAndy said:

Dobson was coming in with pretty much no expectations as he wasn't really replacing any player we had just sold, and he had age on his side to improve, with a West Ham background. Godden doesn't have time to settle and he will have to hit the ground running to replace a ready made top striker.
It's not even remotely the same situation tbh. Of course I understand your point to take opposition fans views with a pinch of salt.0 -
I've always liked Godden as a player, so I'm happy with this signing. Shame it's under these circumstances but he'll bag some goals for us I think.6

One of my all time favourite shirts.

I mean I don't think he's going to score as many goals next season as May did last season, but I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. The problem last season wasn't that May scored lots of goals, it was that no-one else scored many.Braziliance said:

Jones seems to be wanting a system where two or three players score 10-15 goals each rather than one scores 20+ and the next top scorer has about 5. So on that basis (and depending on who, if anyone, else we sign up front) I am hopeful that Godden will do a job.
Short version, Godden is not automatically a failed May replacement if he doesn't score 25 goals next year.8 -

Do our current sponsors not mind us parading our old sponsors with these new signings?
and I miss working for the Woolwich, bloody Barclays!0 -
About £400,000 including add ons, probably if we get promoted0

I wonder if the 'missing shirt' debacle has something to do with us not having a shirt sponsor yet???Hal1x said:Do our current sponsors not mind us parading our old sponsors with these new signings?

Welcome Matty......you have big boots to fill !!
Just hope the 33 year old legs can do the job. I do expect him to score a few but not 20+ like Alfie. 12-15 is my guess as long as he stays fit & plays the majority of games

We’ve replaced a striker who had been round the houses in non league before coming into the pro league late, with a player who’s done exactly the same.Let’s hope for the same outcome.Welcome Matty, let’s hope Godden’s a good un0

Good signing IMO, all the best and hopefully it goes really well MG.0

This was the shirt that made me believe that I was John Humphrey and helped me get into the school football team. I loved that shirt and the whole team that wore it.DubaiCAFC said:

Added a spoiler to avoid cluttering the thread, but having a read through, there are a fair amount of comments implying he is past it.
A handful of comments about his brace against Oxford which isn't much to go off as everyone is capable of a great game here and there.
It just doesn't scream to me of a fanbase truly bothered about a player leaving, more so the sentimental value because they associate him with a promotion season. I've seen our fans and myself do the same when a player leaves, I genuinely can't think of one time where we have bought an older player recently, and their fans say 'should do a job', except maybe Pratley?
I really hope it works out, but this does not resonate with our alleged transfer strategy.4 -
Just hope that no-one quotes your spoiler @Braziliance...🙄1
