Why would we pay two million in the current climate for a guy who has had one good season at that level?
It would surely be a few hundred grand with add ons that could take it to 2 million if he's good enough?

I know the opposition has to be taken into account, but we've played much lower league opposition teams in the past and our established 'strikers' haven't scored many better goals than that lad is scoring. Must be worth a gamble. Even he would be a better bet than Vokes.

I don't believe we are in for him....if recent statements are anything to go by we're not looking at strengthening the squad but the starting 11 n he just doesn't fit the bill imo.

Because in his only season playing as a central striker he's scored goals whilst playing for a lesser side and we need a goalscorer Factor in who else would we get for that money, or less, and you have to think there's a chance this could happen The better question is why hadn't he played as a striker much before?

That may be a big part of his appeal to us - a goal scoring striker who can play outside in a three-man forward line (MON’s apparent favoured formation?)?

To be fair Arnie was nearly 30 before someone decided to play him up front.

He scores penalties - let's av him! Before he came to us Vokes had an almost perfect penalty record.

To be fair Arnie was nearly 30 before someone decided to play him up front. That's a strange one as he was played as a striker away to Fulham in his first season here I think. He even scored a goal that was ruled offside, I'm not too sure it was though. Anyway, I can't remember he ever was played in that position again for us for some unknown reason? I was at Craven Cottage that day and felt we really deserved something from the game, but lost away as usual when I had decided to go to an away game!
