Remember Big Vic came through the ranks and has cost the club only his fee. He have had his share of injuries and hasn't progressed as we liked. I feel he have tried, but couldn't get to the next level. Sorry for him and for the club

He has tried?

If he got any more lazy he'd slip into a coma.
 
I remember when he did well for us in Europe...that's about all the good points i can remember about Anichebe
 
Remember this from February 2009:

Victor Anichebe is on his way out of Everton after manager David Moyes tore a strip off him in a furious training ground bust-up.

The 20-year old Nigeria striker will be the first Everton player to be offloaded at the end of the season after Moyes finally lost patience with his attitude at the club's Finch Farm training complex yesterday.

After hearing of a failed deadline-day loan move for him by Hull, Anichebe angrily claimed it was 'a disgrace' he hadn't been informed and told one of the club's physios he was injured, adding: 'You can tell the gaffer I've got a knock and can't play against Liverpool.'

Moyes evidently erupted, once the news was relayed to him, and immediately confronted Anichebe in an exchange that was described as extremely one-sided.

Reports this morning suggested Anichebe told Moyes to 'f*** off' before being escorted away, but the Everton youngster was the one on the receiving end as Goodison's long-serving boss poured out his venom over an attitude that has been causing concern at the club for months.

The powerfully-built target man is described as being arrogant on the surface without having the deep-rooted self-belief to carry it off.

With injures virtually wiping out Everton's strikeforce this season, Moyes has repeatedly turned to him to lead the line but become increasingly exasperated with his inability to respond, either through minor fitness problems or poor form.

There is a growing belief Anichebe is beginning to sense he may not be up to the challenge of speaheading Everton's attack and that a temporary move to Hull might have represented an escape from the pressure.

In the meantime, he continues to give the impression he believes he should be an automatic choice, and Moyes has clearly reached the end of his tether.

He would have allowed Anichebe to leave in last month's window, but for being so short of numbers up front, and will look for buyers between now and the end of the season.

Everton refused to confirm or deny the bust-up, saying: 'We have no comment to make whatsoever.'

We would have binned him off that summer, except for the fact Anichebe did his cruciate two weeks later at Newcastle and was out for a year, by which time he'd managed to get back in Moyes' good books.
