Nixon confirmed fee agreed and negotiations on wages are ongoing, it's not done and not dead either.
Last season when Powell, Vaughan, Garner had a good game and won most things in the air and held the ball well the whole team functioned well and looked great going forward. More often than not when no one was effectively doing those target man type things the whole team looked a mess and we struggled to get up the pitch. I think we've long needed someone who is a big brick shit house who can physically compete with all the big centre halves and lead the line. It's not so much that we need a player like that to pump the ball and bypass midfield every time, more a case we need someone who can play with their back to goal and get the attacking midfielders buzzing around him to do all the damage and when we pump in the crosses like we do that there is a big aerial threat to aim for that we haven't had in years.
Wheather it was Gallagher, Eaves, Hugil, or anyone else I think if we can get an effective target man it is a big piece of the puzzle to an effective season. Having someone to do the physical side of things will bring the best out of the likes of Windass, Massey and the other attacking mids who are all never going to win the physical battles.
