But Vellios is younger and on lower wages and he's ours without us having to spend any money on signing on fees or agents or even adding to our wage bill. If Rodallega can come into our team and boss it then fine but if not, and I don't rate him at all, then why not go with the players we already have rather than bringing in someone solely to have someone in.
The young kids like Vellios are never going to get better unless they get time (and the way Vellios was rewarded for scoring goals by being shoved off into the reserves was disgraceful) and handing off game time to guys like Jimmy McFadden, Anichebe and Rodallega instead hurts us unless they can contribute something that Vellios just isn't capable of. And I don't see it from Hugo. Love for him to prove me wrong but I don't see the advantage of bringing in this guy rather than just using our kids as back up for Jelavic.
Why about if Moyes doesnt rate Vellios- he sees him every day in training, reserves etc etc. Who are you to make that call??
I dont think any of us are in a position to say that Vellios is better or actually any worse than Rodellega. Thats why David Moyes is a manager and you and me arent.
