James Vaughan

[Roker Mackem]

Fuck me, this boring cliche is this window's 'underwhelmed'. What on earth were people expecting?
Not that we will but if we now go out and buy Chris Wood and Benik Afobe as Vaughan has been signed as third choice is it still confirmation that the club was only targeting mid table?

I was actually expecting this believe it or not! And we wont be signing Wood or Afobe

We literally have NO senior strikers. NONE. We need to buy at least three senior strikers, so buying someone for around £1m who got 24 goals in the divison below ours last season is a good idea because, again, we have ZERO senior strikers.

Yep and i repeat if he is 4th choice striker and we bring 3 more players strikers in above him in the pecking order then I'll be content. If he is first or second choice striker then it will be very underwhelming. Dropped out of the Championship last season as presumably not good enough and joins a struggling League One side. No goals in 2015/16 season, 7 in 2014/15 in the league WE ARE IN. So a JOURNEYMAN with SEVEN goals in his last TWO championship goals is a 'good idea'? Behave.

If the plan is to start this guy for 20+ games then it is not a good idea at all, if he will be a Daryll Murphy type signing and just come in when we have injuries than I'll be OK with it. Time will tell what the intentions are though.

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Club are clesrly skint I wouldn't be expecting "really good striker" signing.

We're minted but don't want anyone to know - 2 x 20 mill strikers to arrive on deadline day. Feel free to bookmark this.

How underwhelming

Horses for courses, and definitely worth a punt. Remember when we signed Dave Buchanan? Probably not, that's what you call being underwhelmed

What an utterly f***ing depressing thread. I think our situation has just suddenly hit home, hard.

It's appears far worse than I originally thought.
