[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

I don't think Vaughan is the answer to our immediate goalscoring problems, but he's certainly a potential talent.

He has power, pace and is a good size - I can see why we'd want Roberts out at the same time though, they're similar player.

The bonus is that Vaughan is young, plenty of time for him to add goals to his game.

[Majiball]

James Vaughan, no thanks.

Who else is on the list Nixon???

[beerwins]

Hmmppf that will will teach me for letting my mind race, was more optimistic about Di(Kammy)Santo.

Vaughan was with Franny Jeffers the other day at The Leyland Hotel, he was supposed to go to Derby again whilst Jeffers was going to Blackpool (jeffers brother has the papershop opposite the Hayrick pub).

Alan, are you suggesting we get Vaughan and Derby take Roberts ? I am certain I read somewhere that Vaughans price was £1m and surely, Roberts must be worth the same.

Not the type of news I thought we would be getting but Vaughan at least will put 100% effort into a game.

[Manchester Blue]

Vaughan isn't someone i know a huge amount about but can't say i'm too down about it, will ask the Everton fans in the office tomorrow.

Shouldn't be more than 15 mins before Den can give us chapter and verse on the fatal flaws in his game that will stop him ever being a decent player at any rate ;-0

I'm working on it.

Because he's Argentinian? Or because of all the good he did for us last season?

I'd be pretty pleased with James Vaughan. Has a few hallmarks of our David Bentley signing albeit in a different position. Has a lot of raw attributes which could come on very nicely here. Like I said, with a lot of these players the key factor for me is age.

[Ozz]

Knees are knackered. Next.

Speaking of drinking problems, I spent all last week with a Grimsby fan, and it seems Mike Newell was taking all the players out on the tiles in cleethorpes during his time there

Done exactly the same when he was down here at Luton too!

[LeChuck]

James Vaughan, no thanks.

Given that your guess was Pavlyuchenko, I think you were always going to be disappointed. If we find a spare £10 million down the sofa maybe we can start bidding on a higher calibre of player.

I can't see Roberts dropping out of the Premier League.

My money would be on West Brom to take him. They're desperate for PL experience and he's played there before. Maybe Stoke as they're after reinforcements and he'd fit in well there.

[JAL]

It just gets worse or is Nicko playing with our emotions. James Vaughan, FFS, with his club desperate to offload who will be the stronger club from this I wonder.

I'll save him the trouble.

Pray tell why a young english once highly rated youngster is being allowed to leave Everton for 1million??? Why has his career stuttered so in the last couple of years??? I wonder if he's got something in common with Benni??

[Tooogs]

I would be fairl hapy for Roberts to go and Vaughan to come in... We would still definitley need to add nother couple of experienced strikers if we are to score goals this season... at least one proven goalscorer... or Jo as a gamble.

Nevermind.

[LeChuck]

Nevermind.

If it makes you feel any better, it sounds like a Roberts replacement rather than the 'new' striker Sam has been going on about.

Maybe Sam would feel comfortable going for an old striker knowing that he'd replaced Roberts with someone nearly 10 years his junior? £3 million can buy a higher calibre of player if you don't mind them being 30+. That would have been a problem with Roberts in the squad, but with Kalinic and Vaughan it is less so.

We signed David Bentley under very similar circumstances, that didn't work out too badly.

[roversam]

i like vaughan if he can stay fit i think he could do a good job

worth staying up for

[the swede]

Is Vaughan the "unnamed striker" who we increased our bid for?

[chaddyrovers]

Maybe with everton have Saha and Yabuka as 1st choice and they only play 1 up front, so doesn't get much of a look in and has had b injured. that why he went on loan to derby last season. Can we be a little more positive for ONCE! Maybe he just need a change of club and a manager to believe in him and Big Sam could be that one!!!!!

[RibbleValleyRover]

James Vaughan? Player that has been under the knife four times to try and fix his bad knees?

No thanks. Should stay well clear.

[Tom]

Any word on if Faty turned up today?

I suppose there will be little info as I doubt there was any training today

[doctorryan]

[Manchester Blue]

You saved me having to post the very same, under the circumstances with the money we have he;s not a bad possible, as long as it's with other strikers.

[1864roverite]

Everton also have Anichibe and the young French lad they signed on a freebie from Strasbourg in the summer so maybe thats why they are letting him go whilst they can stillcommand some sort of transfer fee.

I don't remember David Bentley having a series of knee operations?
