Kind of starting to look as if it's James Vaughan as our only striker signing or no signing in that position at all.
Likely our last central defender being brought in will be a 34 year old American who hasn't kicked a ball in 14 months.
Kind of surprising given the way the transfer window started but doesn't look as if this'll be enough for the title, only an opinion of course.

Wealth of knowledge how do you know that.

Nobody knows anything at this point but wouldn't you admit if these are our last two signings we've really only added substantially to the midfield? Defence and attack is going to be the exact same as last year. Doubt anyone would have thought that before we've made eight new signings. If it's James Vaughan up front. Not sure that fills fans with confidence.

Patience mate. I'm sure the gaffer will look to strengthen our strike force. Makes no sense to rush into a signing just to appease the fans. A striker will be signed prior to start of season.

The James Vaughan that played at Everton had the makings of a top quality player, if Warburton can rekindle that ability then we will have a very good player.

See at the end of the day lads. It's doesn't matter who MW brings in, Aslong as that player gives 110% then I will support him till the end. If we bring in Vaughan then beat of luck to him. But to all the doubters out there can I point you at martyn waghorns scoring record before he came here, nothing to shout about was it?

Thing with Waghorn is though, he went straight in against Hibs in the petrofac, hit the ground running.
I doubt Vaughan goes straight in for the start of the season against Hamilton. Would rather have Waghorn move up front for that game and put Forrester out right.
Really hope we get a striker of similar calibre as a couple of our other signings like Kranjcar, Barton, Rossiter. Doubtful. Don't know if any fan would put Vaughan in that group.

Crooks I think will be a surprise performer in defence. 6,4 strong, pacey and can tackle. I do agree tho that we need another experienced CB and a prolific striker. Have patience tho warbs weir and mcparland know this and I'm sure we will get what we need.

If anything we need a player to replace Clark who is of better quality.
But his position in the squad needs filled. Makes a striker a guarantee. The level of quality is debatable, but the fact we're signing a striker shouldn't be debated.
02 Jul 2016 17:56:06
Coldo is spot on i think crooks will be a stand out next season as well. Watched him a few times this season he is very good on the ball for such a big guy.
02 Jul 2016 18:13:57
Tom42 is spot on, james vaughan was very highly thought of at everton and was regarded as a terrific talent, if we do sign vaughan then give the guy a chance and trust our management team and their class judgement of a player, into the debate it would do well to remember that warbs is a master at taking a talent that's lost their way and getting them back on track again, the evidence is there with his first year in charge at rangers, have some faith guys for god's sake! I trust our management team to the hilt!

Bluegenius, I can't find anything regarding us in talks with tom bradshaw anywhere on the bbc, care to enlighten us bears mate.

You have to remember though that Waghorn was playing in the 2nd tier of Scottish football. Let's see how he does in the premiership only then can he be judged how good a player he is.
02 Jul 2016 17:07:22
I think if we don't sign Bradshaw it could possibly be a striker on loan we will get as for the centre back I hope we get someone better than the big American guy his history doesn't fill me with much joy at all.
