If Vaughan wasn't so injury prone he'd be way ahead of Anichebe. He was clearly the better talent when they came through and as a striker has always been more productive than Victor when he's played.
He plays Anichebe's role better than Anichebe does. But then saying that Anichebe's best displays where in a wider position, as a wing forward.
James Vaughan still needs alot of work in terms of touch, control and hold up play. But in terms of raw attributes he has a bit of everything: Pace, power, aerial ability, movement etc.
I'm not getting over excited, but if he can stay fit then he's a very useful player to have. We don't have a striker like him, someone who can run in behind.
