If he signs I don't see where he's going to play. Talking to the numerous Bluenoses who I work with, they say that he doesn't play as a lone striker but as one of a pair, sitting in behind or alongside the Centre Forward. This is a combination that NW very rarely uses. My immediate thought was is he a back up for Bobby Reid. However Reid is a midfield player who joins the CF. It sounds like Vassell rarely drops back into MF or works back, he is more of a 2nd striker. Perhaps NW will try 2 up front more this season.

I think it's fair to say that the Bluenose ST's who I've talked to this morning don't see him as a loss. They seem to think that the fee is Ł1.5M with conditions that would increase it.
