Absolutely agree. If only the entire team put in the effort Vassell puts in. He might not be the most skilled, he might miss 3 point winning one on ones with the keeper but when your up against it, I'd sooner have Vass than some of the idle sods I've seen over the last five seasons.mammutly said:big blue boy said:we are all of the same opinion about vassell, but not the manager who picks the team i wonder why he likes him?
You might ask yourself why Pearce and Sven picked him as well and why Hughes will carry on doing so. It's because they can see the overall contribution he makes to the side. He will start scoring goals soon also.
It amazes me why people can continually apologise for Jo and his woeful lack of skill, saying he needs time, time, time. And yet Vassell is only 2 games back from injury and you condemn him already.

Well I have asked myself and I have decided it because they did not have SWP, Kompany, Roninho etc
Jo is a young player yet still gets in Brasil's team Vassell is or shoud be at his peak age wise he cant get in Engalnd's team anymore and we have watched and judged Vassell now for, three seasons and he gets worse not better Jo is new to the PL so wer have only had a handful of games to judge Jo is an overseas player and still settling into a new country Vassell was born here and has only played in English football So it amazes me that you can offer a comparison and come out with such rubbish. Face it DV is crap always has been crap and always will be crap. IMHO for this manager to pick him and then play him for 90 mins is an absolute disgrace
