Not really wanting Vaughn, doesn't excite might me one bit a guy who has had injury issue, and even when fit major scoring barren patches, we need a goal scorer, like a gem in the rough, I would take Bradshaw over Vaughn any day, at least he scored goals last season.
To me we have done some great business especially, rossister, Barton and my frav if signed tomorrow NIKO, but to finish this all off we need a leathal weapon in and around the box, we pay the wages off a injury prone guy that can't score. This is coming from big davie weir recommendation, as he seen Vaughn coming through the ranks as a kid, Vaughn now 27, and has had a goalless career. When was last time David was at Everton, must be at least a decade!
Vaughn reminds me off another player who came through ranks at Everton, massive things were expected, even got a great move. Francis Jeffers.

Bradshaw will cost us £1million and that is if we don't get caught up in a bidding war. Vaughan could do a job up here. Yes injury prone, however we managed to go through the vast majority of last season with very few injuries (Waghorn was unfortunate) I personally would prefer Bradshaw, however Warburton has a thing for taking players that aren't doing that good and turning them into something special, Waghorn, Tavernier, Forrester, Holt. If he can do the same for Vaughan then it will be a very good signing, good age, experience, good in the air and he is fast.

Well I suppose you think he could do a job up here, but it's just to risky. Bradshaw at 1 million would be my choice all day long, I watched hi play and score last season and the boys got confidence, I know we seem to have a transfer policy of no transfer fee.
I just think his sell on value will make it worthwhile, you'd be lucky if Vaughn had a sell on value and that's even if he did keep injury free and scoring goals.
We must have some money some place lol, he's not out price range or shouldn't be!

I'd like to point out that Waghorn since 2010 had scored an average of 5 goals a season. To compare that to Vaughan who (barring this season) has an average of 10goals per seaon at a higher level.

I still would like the kid Bradshaw, I think he's going to go far.
I was probably more hoping he would go far with us. If we get Vaughn, and I actually believe he's a real possibility. Then I'll be first to say I was wrong if he starts banging them in. Only because I trust W&W and mcpartland.

I think the two of these are just names been thrown about by fans and the media. I personally think the striker we bring in will be of the same quality of Barton/ Niko. We would have signed Vaughan or Bradshaw already, both deals wouldn't be impossible to pull off.
I've heard rumours that the striker we're really chasing will suprise everyone in terms of quality in the same way Barton did. It makes more sense, why go after players of their quality for the midfield and then sign some underachieving striker? I'm confident MW and Mcparland have another ace up the sleeve.

That's what I was told also, we're going after no underachievers and a Niko, Barton range striker, I was told this immediately after Barton signed, that we will be making a other statement of intent there too, but for the life of me don't have a clue who it could be.

I think waghorn was good last season but in a lower league and a lot of his goals where penalties think we need a better quality striker beside him.
id even be happy if we where to sign adam rooney he bscored 19 goals for the sheep in 34 games think he could bang in a lot more for us.

It does make more sense. The striker is the main man in any team, to blow all of our budget on Midfield and leave nothing for a genuine striker just doesn't seem like something the manager would do. Here's hoping anyway. This squad of ours has goals all over it though so I'm not too worried who else comes in. If the manager decided to go with Waggy, Miller, MoH and Hardie I won't be that disappointed.
