Newcastle United are one of a number of clubs taking an interest in Cardiff City star Will Vaulks, WalesOnline understands.
Its got to be utter rubbish.
If we got 700k for Will good geal for us and lets get better..
7m!!!
Walesonline must have thought this story was a better option than recycling Wales hardest rugby players for the 100th time. Or an interview with David Bishop on why he only got 1 cap yet again.
surprised there is anything in icwales other than egg debate
Vaulks has been pretty good most of this season.
He does have his limitations though.
His long throw has been a genuine threat at times. and this is an area where people are looking to invest in.
He can hit a long shot as well as anyone.
Trouble is he's not that good at passing, dribbling or a particularly prolific tackler.
If someone has a system that'd allow him to maximise the things he's good at and minimise his weaknesses then maybe someone would come in for him.
It's hard to imagine what that would be though.
All things considered he's an average championship player. I'd be very surprised if we sell him to a premier league side.
Vaulks - my player of the season, scorer of my goal of the season, most admirable off the pitch of all the players in the EFL, long throw, worldy goals, and a tackle to write home about.
Worth every penny of the £7m+ that Newcastle, Norwich and the Blades want to pay!
How about feeding the fire for once, not pissing on it? :thumbup: :ayatollah:
Finally the club (and local press?) are bigging up a player to maximise the transfer fee. Vaulks has had 4 seasons in the Championship now - scoring 7 goals in one season and helping his club to playoff run in another - and 5 Welsh caps at international level.Quote:
From the article,
It is thought the Bluebirds value the 27-year-old, who joined from Rotherham two years ago, at around £7m.
He's a solid Championship player, but then so was Jeff Hendrick when Burnley paid £10.5 million for him. A player is worth whatever the selling club can get away with and whatever the buying club is willing to pay.
Apparently, the Newcastle offer is payable in Sports Direct vouchers and comes with two of those enormous mugs for Big Mick and TC.
I have got to admit, i dont understand why Will isnt liked more by us city fans, he appears to know what skills he has in his locker
His Long throw would benefit any team, he loves a long hopeful blast at goal ( when they come of they are spectacular ) He does alot of work in the community
I like Vaulks endeavour and commitment, he does scores cracking goals he is fine at this level sadly at 7 million you would take it.
He's a 2 million valued player in my eyes and I'd not sell at that price.
Seems a decent lad as well.
All things considered, he's an average Championship player with a couple of well above average attributes. Namely, his throw, and his ability to strike the ball. I was expecting him to be much better. So for me, he's been a disappointment. I'd agree that £2M seems about right. I really can't see how we could get £7M for him. But if we could, I think the club would be foolish not to take it.
Of course wed take 7m. Id bite their hands off at 2m.
With so many clubs under financial difficulties with the pandemic splashing out 2m for Vaulks isnt happening.
Im sure he will be our player next season.
Agree and I think he will be a better player for the season he has had he is 27 now and to be fair he has improved since Warnock ,one could argue if he had more game time under NW he maybe even better in his development , does needs to cut out the stupid challenges, get his head up more when passing , and he will always be in our squad and the hopefully the Welsh one .

Aston Villa have agreed a club-record deal worth an initial £33m for Norwich City midfielder Emiliano Buendia.
I like Vaulks.
As a person and as a player I think he is underated ... He scores some worldies but also puts in a decent shift, often not effectively due to the plethora of similarly paced players in the team .. how any manager can have Ralls, pack and Vaulks in the same midfield really is absurd.
With a different mixture of midfielders I think Vaulks would be better (same can be said for the others though).
However, for 7 million I don't think city can turn that down and they won't.
If 5 million of that was reinvested in the team and especially on the midfield, it would transform the style of play.
I've read a few opposition websites and my impression is that he is highly regarded. He's one of those players that doesn't stand out but the team is less effective when he doesn't play. I hope he stays.
I too like Vaulks.
The goals he scores show that he is more than just an average footballer and the limited quality of player he has had to work with has perhaps watered down his effectiveness.
I wonder how many people who have had a bit of fun ridiculing Vaulks in this thread regarded Buendia as a £33m player.
No doubt there are people from Norwich happy to have money in the bank from the sale but many will be questioning their board's ambition too after gaining promotion and selling arguable their best player.
Similarly, why would anyone want to see us sell Vaulks, even for 7 million?
If Vaulks were to leave us, no mater what the fee, we would be significantly weaker.
Plus there is no guarantee that money we would get for him would be spent on strengthening the squad, preferring to make do with what we already have.
I personally don't want to see any of our players linked with transfer speculation between now an next season, preferring to see one or two names coming the other way.
The impact of Brexit on football. Brentford have finally gone up partially based on scouting in less heralded leagues only for their model to be made more difficult by these new rules.Quote:
All of which means that in practise, any player heading to the Premier League who is a regular international is almost certain to pass, and likewise any player playing regularly in a strong league will also pass.
Those most likely to fall sort of the required points are players from a fringe league or someone who has not played much over the past two years, perhaps because of injury. Young players may also fall short if they have little professional experience – youth players have a whole separate and complex points system of their own.

If there was ever a season for Norwich to keep the player rather than the money could this have been it?
