Victor not going to ANC

According to the BBC, Victor's been left out of the squad for the African Nations' Cup. Some good news for that period, anyway.

I read that also. This could be a great time to pick up ground on Pompey and Man City. I see with a good first of the year run with our strike options we should be fighting for fifth.

A shame for him but with Yakubu out he could get a good run in the side as the target man.

I think thats bye to McFadden then.

Too bad for Vic but he's young and will have plenty of time to impress.

Good news for us though.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Thats what I was thinking. I'm not crying in my drink over it either. He he.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

I am pleased about that, there will be plenty of other times for him to rise to the Itn'l arena.

Good point about McFadden. I wonder if he'll let him go, he's been linked with Brum today but they said 3 million.

If Chopra was 5 million then McFadden should be about 7.

We just have to find a mug to sell him to.

honestly i kinda wish he had gone, it'd give aj, vaughan and mcfadden a chance to impress, and i think national experience is invaluable for a player.

i guess its good to have him, but i would have much rather kept mcfadden, or atleast allowed him a last chance to make an impact before we lost him.

there's no way moyes would sell him for 3 mil, 7 seems about right, though i think we could get more with our inflated market.

Although I did love to see Big Vic plays for his country, but for me I did only want one of them to go on this occassion, he is young and he would get his chance soon!

Now we have 4 striker instead of 3 over those period, now we only need another midfielder to come in to back us up, we should able to do well over that period!

Also on the plus side, both Kanu and Utaka have been included in the squad from Portsmouth. Like I've said, they could really be hampered by the ANC as I'm fairly sure their other African players will be selected as well.
