The problem with the kind of footballer he is, is that he needs players around him at a similar level. It's no good him playing balls and finding positions and making runs that no one else in the side reads. We had a similar problem with Matty Taylor two seasons ago, no one else had a footballing brain anywhere near as quick as his.
It's also overlooked that VV was injured for some of his time with us last season. In addition, had he converted at Walsall towards the death before we went 1-0 down with an attempt with his back to goal and our season turned out differently, he'd be seen completely differently by the majority.
Yep , and if he could have put his heart and soul on the line for the club that paid over £100k for him and not continually complained of minor injury , it may also have turned out differently .
I hope he does well this season and smashes 30 goals for us .

Spot on Mr H, the way I see it stick him in a side that’s playing well and he could be the extra bit of quality that gets you promoted. Put him in a struggling side and he could be the passenger that seals your fate. Be interesting to see how he goes if we hit the ground running this season? All said with the benefit of hindsight obviously.

Are you saying we spent over £100k on Van Veen?

Can you elaborate on what this minor injury was?

If we get that offer i suspect Dean Austin will drive him there and drop him off

I believe it was £135k for VV
Sc***horpe would have let him go for free at the end of the season because he wasn’t wanted there .
It’s probably why he is still here I would say , plus wage demands .
Let’s hope he does well and scores 30 goals this season .

Well it looks like he's being given a second chance here that, in my books, he doesn't deserve, but maybe he'll follow in O'Toole's footsteps from when he first joined, take last season as a massive wake up call, roll his socks up and show us what he's capable of. We can but hope.

I really doubt it. I fail to see how anyone can have even a slightly positive opinion about him after what he 'did' for us last season.

He makes Constantine look like Scott McGleish.

I refuse to write him off. The man clearly has ability and I hope we have him in our squad next season.

I was told yesterday, that Morias is at least two weeks away from being 'match-fit'...

If he's fit but not match fit then he has to start today. Only way to get match fit is to play matches

I agree, he’s getting stick because he represents JFH in player form and people reckon he thinks he’s too good for league 2.
This doesn’t take away the fact that he’s a class striker with a good record. I don’t care about his personality if he’s banging in the goals for us.
