Anichebe's a good player and would do well for a lower-mid table prem club, I can easily see him bagging 10+ goals in a season if he has a starting berth in a team. The only problem with him is he's petulant, if he doesn't get his way he sulks and doesn't put a shift in so then he becomes the easiest player in the world to nullify because he just stops moving once he's in one of his moods.
The lad cant finish 90minutes. He doesnt have the stamina to do it. 60minutes and he's on his arse, he's even admitted it.
I was a big Vic fan 2 seasons ago, he had some great games on the wing. He terrorised a good Villa side in the FA Cup and bossed it in the 2-2 Derby at Klanfield.
But since Moyes threw him up front, he doesnt have the brain, the pace, the intelligence to make runs. Rarely bullies centre halves, falls over a lot, poor first touch...and I'll never forgive him for giving up away against Bolton when we lost 2-0. He stopped running.
Granted he slotted 4 goals last season as a sub, something he hates being apparantly. But fundementally, the sun shines on a dogs arse somedays, which sums him up.
Horror injury aside (Nolan should've been banned from football IMO), he hasnt played enough football through out his career to develop. He's needed to be sent out on loan for a season years ago but its never happened. His development is years behind because of it.
Bottom line is, to be a premiership footballer starting week in week out, you'd have to be a great talent to come through the youth team and be able to step up to the senior squad. If not, you go out on loan to get games. Vic isnt a great talent and needs games if he's gonna be a decent player. Sadly, that's not going to happen unless he's sold
