One / Two years isn't exactly long term, I doubt his wage packet will bleed funds dry, it's relatively low risk, and, in my opinion, he could prove quite handy at this level. More importantly, he gives us another option up top, where playing staff seem to be thin on the ground. He's got tonnes of experience and should be able to handle the nature of the Championship.

Moderately pleased with this, actually. I don't really see what there is to moan about.

Good signing at this level. Not a great goalscorer but makes the defence a bit shaky. :thumbup:

Can play both striker and winger.

A lot of people seems to know shit about football. :whistle:

At last i believe he has nice workethics in training. Not so bad signing when you give it a thought.

Look at Man City. How many players have they bought the last three years?

When we sign a player think about the squad. Sven needs lots of players that can play more than one role in the team.

Be nice to me. This is my first humble post. :scarf:

Can't understand some of the ire about this signing.

I'm not excited about it, his scoring rate is poor and as a former England player, I'd put him alongside Michael Ricketts rather than Michael Owen. But he's played at levels higher than the Championship and not exactly disgraced himself. He won't get 20 goals a season but if he can get 10-15 goals, Waghorn weighs in with a few more and Kingy does his stuff too then they could prove valuable. He's costing flip all, he knows English football well, Sven rates him highly and he probably isn't going to be getting silly wages. Even if he is, he'll have a one year contract which can be terminated by the summer.

Not excited about it but angry? No bloody way.

First thoughts and my first post in this thread were we could do better but i'll give him a chance hope he does well (Obviously) and although i'm saying we could do better, we could do alot worse and he isn't that bad, and you also have to remember we are in the Championship, a tough league but a league someone like him could score many in. Personally i'd like someone taller, and as a fan of Howard it's sad for me to say but some to replace Howard, as lets be honest he trys and I feel we are a better team with him but he lacks the main part of his position and job - goals.

Basically, Darius Vassell - I'm on the fence, not too excited, not disappointed, was a fan of him at Villa apart from that he's never done anything imo, hopefully he will give us something extra and do something our current strikers are not doing - scoring goals.

If it's a short term deal then this is a low risk addition to the squad.

Granted his scoring record is less than stunning, and he has hardly had teams banging down his door since his career stalled in Turkey, but Sven obviously rates him and in the Championship he should be a threat.

Dont think it solves the striker issue though, we need a younger, fitter, faster Howard to partner Waghorn / Fryatt and Vassell is no target man.

With the transfer window shut and a limit on the number of loanees you can have in your squad plus the inflated transfer fees in Jan for mediocre players he's not really got a lot of choice.

Interesting Darius Vassell fact.

He's never lost an English League game when he's scored.

Some of you need to get a check on reality. DV is an ex international, you rarely get England caps for Fook all, I know there are some examples people have mentioned who have but i'll add another one now - Guppy, but I fookin loved him. I think DV is a no brainer. Free, experienced, known by the manager. We are in the relegation zone of the 2nd tier, I for one am happy with him & so far Svens incomings have looked good. Although, word of warning, Davies is potentially trouble. I hope he is at city for a fresh start, that's all on saying on that one.

you'd be happy with Michael Ricketts then.

As davieG said, the transfer window is closed, so Sven is basically operating with one hand tied behind his back.

Give Vassell a chance. Solano and Powell were well into their 30's when they signed for us, and they turned out to be solid additions to our squad.

EDIT: And the comparison with Ricketts is silly. Ricketts has been a joke since he left Bolton in 2003, and has been messing about in the lower leagues ever since.

If he plays on the right his pace could be dangerous which is the position i honestly think Svens signed him for.

I'm 100% sure he would be better than Oakley and DNG in those positions.
