Akinfenwa hit him up on WhatsApp apparently!

Horgan scored and had a great game against Wycombe in the cup for Preston a couple of years ago. I wonder if they're signing him largely on the basis of that? They still have the same manager - must be one of the longest-serving managers in British football (there since 2012).

I heard he tried FaceTime but all 18 stone of him wouldn’t fit on the camera. 

I love Akinfenwa but would I encourage a player to join a team where their tactic involves launching the ball at a 38 year old brute for 90 minutes, absolutely not LOL

Ok I'll take that back, he's probably good enough for the worst team in the Championship by a mile! He'll get one season and then down to League 1 which is more his level.

I still stand by the fact he’s more than good enough to be playing for a good number of Championship clubs although I wouldn’t remotely mind seeing him play League 1 football if it guaranteed him a full season of regular games

For a start whoever suggested isn’t good enough for the Championship I’d love to know there basis for that statement. 

Wycombe would be absolutely fine would likely be playing Championship football every week by virtue of the squads lack of ability and would be playing better opposition pretty much every week to boot (Wycombe will probably be relegated). Will learn plenty that way.

LOL

Have you actually watched Wycombe play? Goalkeeper to striker route one. No other players involved in the build up.

That's not football, that's tennis with a bigger ball.

Probably the most horrendous side to watch. I hope Daryl has good neck muscles if he goes there.

I would imagine he'll be the man they're looking to pick up the breaks in that case. Could be worse, he'd likely be the main man and given a free enough role. If he scores a few goals and is generally lively then that may be enough to keep him in the Championship even if Wycombe are relegated.

Hold up for some reason I thought ye were on about Luca Connell?? Daryl Horgan yeah if he can seal a Championshop move then fairplay to him but really he is probably a League 1 player.  

As for me I clearly need to f**k off to bed on that note 👀👀😂😂😂 apologies for the brain fart/mix up.

Daryl Horgan has signed for Wycombe from Hibs.
We're decent enough..

He was in and out of the team and rarely lasted the full 90. Was one of their highest paid players as Lennon paid over the odds to bring him in a few years ago, so they decided to let him go when they got an offer.

One of those players that didn't do too badly for the team but can be easily and more cheaply replaced.

Safe to say that he can be entirely forgotten about in regards to the national team.

Hardly, we aren't exactly in a position to ignore someone playing in the Championship if they are playing well there.

Nah, he's done with the Ireland senior team, decent lad and a decent footballer too, but a level short of what we need and seem to be bringing through.

Lets see how he gets on. I wouldn't totally dismiss him just yet.

They ain't  based in High Wycombe for nowt. It's long, skyborn, balls up to Akinfenwa and go from there.

Not the best preparation for Kenny's Ireland, I'd dare to suggest.

He is only around six foot and can't jump. When they were in League Two they were more of a dirty and scrappy team than a long-ball. They aren't pretty, that's for sure, but they have massively overachieved and certainly don't just boot it in the air.

Maybe I've done them a disservice. I love Akinfenwa; he used to play for my favourite English team, Northampton, and was great for us.

I always support the underdog, and If Wycombe stay up I wouldn't be  disappointed in the slightest.

He is a very astute forward. I went at Wycombe  a few seasons back when both sides had a hope of making the playoffs on the last day and he was brilliant. Had two defenders hanging off him all day and bought free-kicks and brought others into his game. Given his fitness there's probably a few years left in him too. Ainsworth certainly gets the best out of him. I would love to see them stay up though. As much as the locals here moan about them, they are as close to the John Beck era Cambridge United as you can get modern football.

I can't share your enthusiasm for Northampton though! Been there three times and although I have seen two last minute equalisers I have also seen my mate getting arrested for jumping on the pitch after one of those(he's 53!) and the other time, last November, was the coldest and wettest I have been at a match. I thought the point of these modern flatpack stadia was to keep fans from getting soaked! Horrible place. Spent a fortnight in Northampton in 2010 to watch the World Cup with a mate, it is a bit of a nothing town.
