He'll go there and do a job in that league IMO. I actually think MDV was more a Premiership player than Championship, as displayed against Spurs. Somehow players like MDV (lazy but strong and good touch when he wanted) work better in the pace of Prem football than the hectic Championship.

You may be right, but twice I saw him against Premiership opposition (Charlton & Spurs) and he was really excellent.

i think the problem is in the championship defenders are used to playing against MDV type-big blokes who have the ball hoofed to them and try to out muscle the defenders, nearly every team in our league has one. In the premiership however, strikers are more likely to be pacy and giving defenders the run around-so when we played against premiership opposition playing against MDV isn't what they were used to meaning he was more effective
that or couldnt be arsed unless we played against premiership clubs!

Totally agree.
I wonder if his goals per game ratio is the best of all the current strikers on the books ?

Whatever happens, we will still be paying a proportion of his wages until his contract is up.

What? Surely not if he signs for another club?

Quite probably.

Absolutely, it will probably be on a loan basis as at present. Either that, or we will pay a certain amount of his contract up.

But it wasn't cool to like MDV where as it is to like Fryatt,Hume and Hammond.The treatment MDV got from sections of our 'fans' was nothing short of disgraceful....never mind though it will be some other poor fecker next.Nobody wants to listen to the goals per game ratio 1966 because he doesn't fit with thier line of thinking
