If the guy has played for Yeading (I have been there) then there is no excuse at all for him not wanting to move to the north east (an age old stumbling block). I've been saying this for a while: we need to jazz up our induction routine - far too many players aren't interested in joining us (the likes of Nugent and Baird from a few years back really stick in the throat as they joined much lesser clubs than ours). We need to improve the big sell, or if that doesnt work then start offering more in wages. I remember a few years back when Bolton were getting very big name players into their squad - if they can do it then why can't we? we have a bigger fanbase.
Vaughny stated he wanted to be close to Wales and familly, sort of puts us out of the running,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,till we talk about dosh, then I suppose Wales will take a back seat.
I wonder if Chelsea are after him? they seem to after about every player in europe at the minute, but D J would be great back up, and if we sign Whickam will he be 2nd choice striker ?(behind Gyan), but we do need 4 strikers
