I take it this means McCormack' s wage demands / fee made it impossible. Of the strikers we've been linked with Jerome is probably at least on par if not better than the others.
No way we would pay the McCormack fee mate. We are spending the equivalent of a league two team. Shorts a billionaire twice over and it's his baby. I know he's trying to recoup some of the losses but surely he needs to spend some of the incoming transfer to at least try and compete this coming season.

you'd imagine it's one or the other - prefer a motivated McCormack myself so long as he's gotten rid of the electric gates
 
Good signing.

People need to wake up....we're in the championship now.

Jerome and Vaughan will score score 20 to 25 , maybe more in this league.

With mcgeady on the wing, should provide the ammo and chip in with a few himself.

Can't see it but if kahzri and lens stayed, I'm sure we'd have a chance of top 2 or definitely the play offs.

Need to sort the defence out now. Oshea has lost it all together and would struggle in league 1.
 
Sick of this work hard bollocks everyone keeps referring to, we still need quality if the aim is to one day get back up, keep signing players like this and we'll have to buy a whole new squad when we go up which in itself straight away means wholesale changes, big investments etc.

We need to be targetting youth who can develop and play at a higher level, Jerome and Vaughan arent that.

100%ers do not guarantee success and it should be a given attribute when you go to buy a player, If our scouts are singling 'effort' out as a primary attribute to signing players we should just give up now.

Just out of interest, what's your thought on Lens?

My thoughts on him is, he's a quality player and most would agree.

Very questionable attitude, again, most would agree.

Fenebache fans absolutely loved him. So fuck know ? :lol:

Might be he only plays under certain managers. Arm around and ego massager all in one.

Perhaps he's taken to Graysons ways :)
 
It IS disappointing that we're singing aging players on permanent deals and kids on loan but that's just reality biting.

Young players with potential and re-sale value cost an arm and a leg unless you've got a phenomenal recruitment/scouting set up. The last few years are evidence that at this stage we definitely don't. We just sacked the bloke who was supposed to set one up.

We're getting young loans as they're cheap and older players on permanent deals because that's what we can afford.
 
I like the sound of a Vaughan/Jerome partnership. Pace n power n should bring 25/30 goals between them. Could excite our long suffering fans.
 
Im against this signing. We appear to be doing the championship version of win or bust by buying ready made players that well be stranded with if we stay down or go up.

Agree. Would rather have taken a punt on Watkins at £2m.
 
As a championship striker I would be very happy with this. It his last two seasons in the championship with Norwich he was 1 in 2 which I would take and I am sure everyone on here would too.
I get what people are saying about no re sale value etc and too old but we in a position where beggars can't be choosers and if he wants to come, happy days. He will score goals at this level

In terms of £6million, as a club we CAN afford that. I am not privy to finances but we still have some of the PVA money, Pickford and Vito. We will be ok.
 
Great to see us loading up on players towards the end of their careers with no resale value. The only young ones in are on loan. Part of the reason that we are in such a state financially
What resale value do you want on Mcgeady like...250k wasnt it?

Jerome would be a very good signing in my opinion and i advocated going in for him before he signed a new contract.

Clearly mate the fees we've received for the above the majority is being used to pay off the debt to himself.
