Sunderland improving their Everton 2 status by even ensuring players they don't buy from us at least used to play for us! Outstanding.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40595553
Sunderland have signed Bury striker James Vaughan and Everton winger Aiden McGeady on two-year and three-year deals respectively.
McGeady, 31, scored once in 43 Toffees games after moving from Spartak Moscow in January 2014, but netted eight in 35 under new Sunderland boss Simon Grayson on loan at Preston last season.
Vaughan, 29 on Friday, scored a career-best 24 goals for Bury last season.
He too previously worked with Grayson, at Huddersfield in the 2012-13 season.
The fees paid for both players are undisclosed, although the sum for Vaughan's transfer was a reported £900,000.
Even better thenWas on a fair bit more than that apparently.
Or a visit from trading standardsI'm waiting for the bizzies to steam into Goodison to investigate all these gash players going to Sunderland.

They want some Walton magic to rub off on them.4.5 million allegedly?! What on earth are Sunderland on?![]()
