I am not convinced on the back of only 2 sub appearances and a decent preseason 2 seasons ago. HOwever, if his attitude has changed and he is coached in the right way (so get rid of Round and bring back Irvine and/or bring in Ray Wilkins) then he might be in with a shout. He took his goal well yesterday, but more impressive for me was the way he timed his run, asked for the ball and stayed onside....the Vic of old would have just ran, expecting to be seen and then would have been offside.
IF he keeps doing what he is doing then he is in danger of being our leading scorer! Playing with Saha helps, as Saha moves out wide and takes the attention of the defenders. VIc is not a target man, maybe not even an out and out striker....Everton have to figure this out. If he is a wide forward then he needs to be coached in that way. If he is a striker, then the same. He doesnt strike me as the smartest guy in the world, so he isnt going to figure this out for himself. However, after such a long time out, he clearly has some hunger and he is HUGE (so no need to go down like a fairy)
