Louis Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Taken from the guardian: The attacker has so much precocity that he has already been a prodigy for quite a long time. By appearing as a substitute against Crystal Palace in April 2005 Vaughan became the youngest player ever to represent Everton and a few minutes later he had also made himself the youngest scorer in the history of both the club and of the Premiership itself. Vaughan is a man in a hurry who has been slowed down purely by injuries. He came off the bench to hit the clincher against West Ham earlier this month, but last season was virtually a write-off because of the knee problems that required surgery in Colorado. Vaughan had no sooner returned from that than he was heading a 90th-minute winner for England against Switzerland at under-19 level. That was typical of him. Graeme Sharp, the formidable Everton scorer of the 1980s, was brought in to provide specialist coaching when Vaughan was a kid in the Goodison academy. "He has a fantastic desire to listen, to learn and to work," he says. "Vaughan will never give the opposition any peace. He's got good pace, but I wouldn't compare him with, say, the young Michael Owen. He's more the type who will get a toe to the ball before the defender can." With another Everton youngster, Victor Anichebe, also vying for selection, Vaughan has much to do but his determination will not falter.

CraccerC Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 nice little article i still think hes got a lot to offer the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 he has got a lot to offer. mark my words Vaughan will be a much better player than Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 ^ i think that too...although im getting less sure by the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 nah, as well as Victor is doing right now, his strengths are limited. Vic has pace, Vaughan is Faster, Vic is stronger, but not as composed in the box(the difference between a good and a great forward imo). i understand they are different kinds of player thou, but i believe Vaughan has that edge about him. i think anyone who has watched the pair of them for the reserves will see it too and not many players miss over a years worth of development and games, then get called upto the internationals straight away.

Romey 1878 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Dont forget Vaughan has a queue of teams willing to take him out on loan for the rest of the season aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 i still dont know who will become and is better between them, i hope they both turn out as real jems and another good thing is, like someone already mentioned, that they are two different types of strikers which is great for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 its all about the movement off the ball . and we havent seen enough of each to judge that. get down to the reserve games if you get chance, you'll see Vaughans movement off the ball. most of his goals have been from losing his defender and getting into a good position, just like his goal against Palace a long time ago i see what you mean about him being hungry, i guess that injury added a bit of fuel to his fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Moyes has said we dont need to sell our young talent anymore...... So now if we can keep hold of them they could be the partnership of Strength and Speed for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenjamin Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Those 2 are defeinity everton's future. If can develop these guys further eventually we won't have to pay for a high class striker as we got 2 promising youngsters. This could only mean great things for everton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizza Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 both got a long way to go.. there nothing like wow are they to be honest James is a hard worker thats what we need but he not skillful or can score goals for us we need someone tough.. victor can just get us fouls, there good but he hasnt got that end product, the goals.. i still find him very lazy, these young players think they are superstars already we need the old fasion style back to let them know what hard work is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Bryant Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 both got a long way to go.. there nothing like wow are they to be honest James is a hard worker thats what we need but he not skillful or can score goals for us we need someone tough.. victor can just get us fouls, there good but he hasnt got that end product, the goals.. i still find him very lazy, these young players think they are superstars already we need the old fasion style back to let them know what hard work is about I agree to an extent. Yes Vic is andeed a bit of a kick up the backside. but like a couple of comments before James has determination and wants to get to the top of his game but has been held back by injuries. Theyve both got a good talent and I belive with time they will both be great players for us. And congratulation for Jags.. just got his cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
