Victor Anichebe

[Cold Nate]

Add me to the list of those proven wrong on Vic. It seems Vic was the big winner from other forwards getting healthy. Vic running for 90 minutes does us no good because he can't sustain his fastest or strongest moves. But for 30 minutes? An absolute nightmare for the opposition.

Well done by Moyes to find him a niche.

Currently IMO the most exciting young striker in the Prem, what value on VIC?

I agree that he is a talent. He ticks all the boxes.

He is young
He is big
He is strong (unlike crouch) although I can't recall him ever scoring a header?!
He is quick
He is a finisher
He has a good attitude

I bet McLaren is wishing he had not opted for Nigeria.

I disagree. I must admit that his goal yesterday was great and he showed great determination and speed to create that goal on his own. However until he able to play a full game and contribute I'm not convinced about him. The ball jumps to easily off him and he seems a moody player. With our abundance of strikers he'll only be used as a super-sub.

We would only get 3-4 m. for him I think - I would not want to sell him though, as I hope he can prove me wrong.

Now don't sit on the fence.

I won't

I must admit that when I saw the goal it reminded me of "that Messi goal" just with British strength rather than Spanish skills.

Remember also his goal against Metallist!

That price would have people biting your arm off I think...

Maybe, but the good thing is we are no longer a selling club. So let them snap away.

My point was i would expect him to be valued quite a bit higher than that. But you are correct, so indeed it is irrelevant.

I like Vic and he is effective but I would say Vaughan excites me more. He looks the complete package.

They could both turn out [Poor language removed] a la Branch/Cadamarteri. But with Baxter/Juzasluwehgwekfugwef/Agard and that coming through it looks sound for strikers.

We need to spew our money in Janurary on a good central midfielder though, I would be Appiah if we got that cat from Turkey.

As iv said in an post a while back.......Vic and Vaughan are r future yak and johnson for now but they are the future!!!!

He's the Nigerian Pele.
