Very shocked with this one from a Wednesday perspective. Thought he would end up staying with us. Oxford are getting a proper workhorse. Good player for you.
Our midfield is looking quite thin indeed… need to start getting players in.

Half the team must have played for Cardiff now surely

Apparently he wanted a longer contract at Wednesday than what was offered,that’s what’s doing rounds on social media anyway

Would’ve liked him to have stayed as he was crucial in our run in and seems a bit of a leader on and off the pitch.
That said, could’ve done with a few more goals and he did seem to get caught in possession on occasion, particularly earlier on in the season.
But if we can get 2 or 3 midfielders of equal or better calibre into the squad it may not be so bad. I just know I’d want someone of Vaulks’ ilk on the pitch if we did end up ‘down there’ again next season.
Solid signing for Oxford mind!

Always liked Vaulks, thought he was a pretty solid footballer, if a bit limited.
Champ is definitely his level and should have stayed at Wednesday as Oxford will likely struggle next season

Horrendous footballer. Awful technically, awful physically but he always puts in a shift.
Can see him doing decent in lower leagues.

An Oxford fan, this looks like the right sort of signing as he has played a lot of games at this level and last season we were crying out for a defensive midfielder at times.

This feels like a good move to solidify our midfield imo. It’s already a position of strength but we need some depth and especially we needed someone who can play a holding role to either give Cam a rest or free him up to play a little more forward.
Getting solid experience at this level right in the middle of the pitch is a great bonus too

Good signing for Oxford, surprised we’ve let him go tbh. I had Vaulks as one of our 3 best players this season, he was instrumental in that holding midfield role since Rohl came in. Put in some huge performances when we needed it and THAT tackle against Blackburn away 😍
Comes across as a great character and leader in the dressing room too, certainly made an impact here. Best of luck Vaulksy!

Serious question (and I know with who I support it looks like I’m being a dick) but who are Wednesday going to sign to replacehim and others? Financially they’re fucked, they’ve kept aging players like Bannan who you’re not able to build around for the future – what’s the plan?

Massive asset to Oxford United’s Community Foundation too. Has won the EFL player of the community award more than once.
