When will we start taking Victor seriously?

Just realised; he's off to the Africa Cup of Nations ain't he? :S

Today he still ran less than players who had been on the pitch all game but he tried, he went for it (mostly) and to be honest, even when things go wrong for him, I felt much better about him being on the pitch because he at least showed a little effort.

His hold up play and work rate in the last 10 minutes were quality tonight, that was exactly what you want from your striker in that situation.

Nope, he's not in their squad mate.

never ever ever

He's the only one with Pienaar having retired, correct?

I wasn't aware that one game decides how good a player is overall.

You said he scores goals and that's it. His all round play against Chelsea makes a mockery of that comment. Maybe you should have put "usually" in there or something if you wanted people to know what you actually meant.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Finland's top soap opera ?

He's still nothing special imo.

Scores goals, but that's about it.

I like have nothing special goals scorers in me team I do. Just wish we had a few nothing special defenders who could stop goals

When he starts performing consistently. I don't think many people have doubted the fact that in the odd game he has the ability to come on and change it, and he's done it tonight.

The raw ability is there, but we've just not seen it anywhere near regularly enough.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Definitely?

Good good.

Yea, I checked when the squad came out, I'd already started to warm to Vic at that point.

I don't think the Ameobi situation will change that

 

[Black Belt Jones]

Think there's a player there no question. Perhaps he'll do a Drogba and develop into a world beater in his late 20s [/dreams]

Too much brawn though - it's good to be strong but no way you can get 90mins of running out of that physique. The strongest players on the ball are never that big anyhow.

 

[timmy17]

when he finally puts a ring on this finger..ooooga

 

[Tin-Tin]

Im impressed with the attitude improvement also, he's stopped throwing himself on the floor whining and started using his size and power like he should be. Another point is that the ball sticks to him now where it never used too, he's more aware of players around him and he's more often than not choosing the right pass at the right time. Tonights goal was a lovely little run to the near post, which he wouldn't have done a year ago.

If he keeps improving his play and attitude then he could become a good player.

His goals to minutes played has to be near the top of the Prem. I'm sold.
