Any Bury fans around to tell us how he played? Bit of a coup to take Bury's top player, fair play.
 
Feels really desperate this mind. Someone playing in the 3rd tier, albeit had a good season lat time, but a bang average Championship record and will be 29 by the time he comes here and people are genuinely happy about this? Gotta be some undercover mags on this thread. Yes we are in a poor position financially, but nobody can tell me the likes of Sheff Wed, Wolves, Villa, Boro fans etc will be looking at this and (genuinely) say 'Wow, that's a cracking signing for them' - it's the type of signing I'd expect Barnsley or Millwall to pull off, not one hoping to be going straight back up. Even Joe Garner who has gone to Ipswich for the same price would have been better IMO, and if i was an Ipswich fan signing Vaughan then I'd be disappointed.

I know of the financial restrictions, but a similar size club like Sheff Wed signing Rhodes who is completely proven at this level and we sign someone older who is basically a journeyman. Would far rather have loaned someone like Abraham (not necessarily him as he will have better options, but someone in a similar position to him when Bristol loaned him) or Gallagher from the league above. Hell, even Adam Armstrong.

Hopefully this will prove to be 3rd or 4th choice and if it is i won't have a problem, but if we are lining up with Vaughan leading the line then it's going to be a long, depressing season I'd imagine.

Saw him on sky a few times last season looked stiff as fuck but his goal record was very good. f***ing dreading this season
We have an average f***ing manager who is happy to work with a budget that would not feed a budgie and some people on here think promotion is a likelihood when relegation is more likely Short has truly fucked us over.
