I'd be surprised if we could get £7 million for him going into into the last year of his contract. It's a strange one with Vaulks, he's started both of his seasons with us poorly (I don't thing some of the comments Neil Warnock made about him helped him first time around), but he's been so much better in the second half of each season and I'd say that, as of now, he's Mick McCarthy's first choice central midfielder.

I see that, although there's some hope that Joe Allen will be able to play on Tuesday , Rob Page is talking about possibly adding some players to the squad, surely Vaulks has to come in if he's looking to reinforce the midfield?
