James Vaughan

[tatabanya]

Looks to be our man

Certainly of a higher calibre than I was expecting, although concerned if it is only one through the door.

24 goals in a season last time he was in this league for a team that finished 19th.

Will be impressed if we pull this off.

 

[Ian]

7 goals in his latest 59 appearances.

Don't tell Kip or Bazzer!

His contract will be up in June he will be free to join who he likes.

And penalties don't count!

His current salary you mean? If he doesn't get another Champ club, a pay cut will very likely be on the cards......

 

[werthersoriginal]

No one knows what his salary is

 

[MJB]

No one knows what his salary is

Not even the tax man? He’ll fit right in here then!

 

[BigCrompy]

Half of it is more than we’ve paid a player since John Shuker was in short pants, if you heard the KR interview yesterday.

Tigers tax free wages is starting to attract players I see, we are the Monaco of the football league.

 

[psquared]

Isn't there someone we know who lives in Monaco?

 

[Yellow2K22]

He is aggressive, strong, knows where the net is and has proven at league 1 level before that he can score many goals. He also has an arrogance about him and bite that bar Mackie we have badly missed in the team. Excellent if happens.

 

[horseman]

Poor fellas going to have so much pressure on him and very little time before moving on

 

[RCYellowRC]

From 10, 20 or 30 yards??

All from 50 yards.

 

[southcoastyellow]

Based on our luck with injuries this year I still think we need two strikers in, Vaughan plus a young prem or championship player would be good - Still think we have a decent squad of players and KR is not getting the best out of them.

He more or less said that it would just be one.

 

[Robie]

I wish KR would stop mentioning how expensive players are. He piled loads of pressure on young Hanson and it seems our new striker will now have the same.

Gary Smart?

 

[Salaghaf]

If true, very impressive signing. Mostly played at Championship level over his career.

 

[Peterdev]

Nobody announced yet then. I don’t know why we have always have to leave it to the last moment

A sizeable chain still needs resolving. Sheffield United bring Hogan in, so allow Clarke to go to Wigan and finally Vaughan to move to us.

This is why transfers often go down to the wire - nobody wants to be left having sold a player they’re unable to replace.

EDIT: just saw the above about Clarke. Hopefully speeds things up now.

 

[bazzer9461]

Still haven’t signed a striker yet though have we? I just hope all this optimism leads to a positive outcome.

 

[gingerox]

You'd imagine Wigan would only let one out of Vaughan or Grigg leave, so hopefully Sunderland choose another striker out of the dozen they've been linked to

 

[werthersoriginal]

Hope we’ve got a backup! Big lad from Oxford City it is then

 

[mooro]

Could do worse than a big lad from non-league (...now where'e Jefferson Louis' number?)

They've asked about Ched Evans..
