    Stunned, even though someone took his picture, and he now has to live in the basement of a back to back in Manningham with an outside toilet, he's still signed?

    On nothing more than a hunch, I have a feeling that Oliver is going to quickly become a bit of a cult hero and firm favourite with fans

    Had a look at his 'thank you and goodbye' tweet to Gillingham fans in May. Not only are the comments 100% positive, there are also a handful of tweets from City fans asking him to come to Bradford, and a number of other tweets from fans of other clubs including Plymouth, Northampton and Shrewsbury asking him to sign for them. He might not be the big name signing that had been rumoured, but he sounds to be a decent option at this level.

    It took a three year deal for a 30 year old to seal the deal that is pushing the boat out. This is one where I bet we did fight of a lot of interest

    Looks promising on that vid. Terrible soundtrack he’s picked though!

    Oh and yet another good signing 27 goals in 80 odd games in a struggling side in a league above makes very good reading indeed

    One of the better signings of the Summer, I feel. I know we've been disappointed by players like James Vaughan who signed under almost identical circumstances and others like Eoin Doyle, but I like that we've signed Vadaine based on his style of play rather than taking a punt on his goalscoring record alone.

    I'd guess we'll be playing two up top this season?

    I'd personally love to see us playing with Oliver + Angol/Cook up front.

    I think that's a pretty bloody impressive strike force for League Two. Oliver is a big lad who's played everywhere from non-league to League One, and I'm pretty sure he's not a shrinking violet. Cook and Angol are a handful on their own, but playing alongside Oliver? Could be tasty.

    I'm not sure we'll always go two up top due the number of wingers/attacking midfielders we've collected, but we could cause defences problems next season for sure.

    Has a great record over the last two seasons.
    The stats on his aerial ability are impressive as well.
    Positive words from Gillingham fans also.
    I’d be pleased with this one, realistically we’re not going to bring in much better ‘big forrad’ at this level

    Oh do give over. You know zero about him. Non of us do . If it is him signing give him a chance before he kicks a ball.

    Our bantamlad is probably one of those fans convinced we were signing Jordan Rhodes or Andy Carroll

    The person that posted it said they took it yesterday. Can't see why they would lie about that.

    Have a look at the bottom right hand side of the Bradford City crest, e.g. here:
    [​IMG]
    Now compare it to the left hand side of the 'Vadaine Oliver' photo. Looks to me like it's Bradford City and not Northampton.
