James Vaughan,Sam Vokes and Sol Bamba. We may only get Vokes if Burnley relegated and Boremuff dont get him. The other 2 are getable. I also like Elliot Lee, a youngster at West Ham who looks a hot prospect. Early signings needed to get some optimism back amongst the `customers`.

Sam Vokes? That name sounds familiar. As does the name 'Ashley Barnes'. Oh.

Silly old bat
Why would Huddersfield sell Vaughan or Burnley sell Vokes if relegated? They are both Championship quality.
I don't think CH won't sign James Vaughan. Good as he is, he has 2 major issues. He is often injured and secondly, he has already been released by CH when they were at Norwich
Wouldn't we all mark? But Hughton will not change his spots, he's a boring manager.

if he is a boring manager as you put it do you really think bloom would of appointed him if he thought that and who did you want as manager then

That is as maybe but his record could have convinced TB he is the best man for the job in our present position.

everyone wanted tim sherwood and he would of only been with us till the end of season and he wouldnt of stayed with us because he would get a better offer from a better side then us

Not everybody just a large number as he was a a good option and I disagree had he come here he would have stayed to do thee job to aid his CV I think, but who knows that is now in the past.
He isn't the worst manager we could have got but has pretty much only played one up front for years now and his teams have always struggled to score goals.

if we had 2 quality forwards we might of played 2 up top and when was the last time we had a manager who played 2 up top and got us scoring loads of goals

Time for change most teams that have gained promotion from The Championshipin recent years play a form of 2 up front.

Barnes would have got an easy 20 goals this season mate. Would then have been able to sell him for more than Ulloa. Or - crazy talk! - offered him an extra thruppence a week in wages not to have to relocate his family to some shit town oop north

How far oop north, over the border? Or not that shitty?
Count me out of 'everyone' if you don't mind! I wanted Hughton in then, and I still want him to carry on now.
It's alright. It's OK to mention him on here as a potential signing - he has played for us before ............

The Forest of Bowland is a delightful place to live. However, the financial point is 100% valid.
He spent millions on strikers at Norwich, I agree I'd like to see us play two up front or at least two attacking wingers but it's not in Hughton's tactics book.
