What were you expecting? The club is fucked, loads of debt and an owner who wants out. We were never going to spend anything significant imo

This is the harsh reality of where we are now as a club

So that's hugill and vaughan who are fine as filler. When are the starters coming in?

Much much better suggestion. Better injury record, much younger, last competed in the league we are in, local to the area. Like night and day. I'd be happy enough with Hugill, Vaughan just seems like someone is taking the piss.

No chance. Watmore not a centre forward and if Maja is our main central striker then that is ridiculous. Lad has got talent but no way should he have the weight on his shoulders.

Played upfront in the u21s

Feels like another lazy transfer to me.
Nobody can tell me he's been recommended to us by any scout! This is a case of agent approaches club, he's cheap, yes please.

Hardly needed to be scouted when he has played 70 odd games under Grayson , would suggest Grayson knows him and believes given the constraints he , Grayson is under ,that Vaughan can do a job.
 
We are a championship club for this season at least, get Vaughan through a good pre season and he will score goals in the championship.... Grayson knows him well enough.

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.

He will be coming in to be an experienced striker, who Grayson knows and happens to be cheap. If he does start 20+ games then there is a good chance he has warranted those starts. I can't believe someone who scored 24 goals in a league below ours is being completely written off, he's not an inspiring signing but if we had stayed up and then signed Chris Wood, (a striker who scored 27 goals in a league below ours and had never been prolific before then) I doubt there would be as much complaining.

Yep it's a good job the owner turned down the offer he received for the club, in the clubs best interests. Who knows what our targets would be with these Germans in charge. Probably be scouring Hartlepool for some relegation bargains.

See thats the problem, Vaughan Galloway and Browning came out of nowhere, no hint of ITKs knowing either. So we could unveil a major signing next week nobodys even aware of.

Major signing? Don't get your hopes up.
