Animal Farm
Player Valuation: £1.5m
I don't mind Vic on the bench too much but he's not good enough to start and I think Vellios has more potential. We'll see. I just don't think an extra striker will do us any harm though I'd prefer it to be a young one like Niang rather than Owen.
Right now if Jelavic gets an injury, we don't look clever at all. However good Vic looked in cameos last year he's not a week in, week out goalscorer.
I'm certainly not clamoring for him to become a regular starter. I just wish everyone would stop laying into him, especially when he had a strike rate that was better than 1 in 3 last season, which eclipses the record of some far bigger names in the premiership last season.
Also, if the choice is between Anichebe, or Michael fecking Owen, who is BEYOND CRAP, then there is no competition. Anichebe wins every time.
