Vincent is a class act. Is he good going forward - not really. Is he a great crosser of the ball - not really. Can he shoot - not really. can he defend - yes he can and bloody well at that. I'm a fan of Zaboub but Vincent really has got his work cut out with Zaboub in front of him. He's pretty good on the ball and doesn't panic. When he moved into centre half along side Ifill last seaaon he was superb.
I think he's one of those players that would be described as a player's player.
he's woeful going forward which is an issue because that's how sturrock likes his teams to play - with attacking fullbacks. how on earth can you say he's good on the ball when he can't control a football and the only pass he ever makes it a long ball down the left channel? if he was anymore one dimensional he'd cease to exist.
however, he played well at centre-half last season - the mind boggles.
Vincent, is that back line is the only player over what 24?
He's probably played m ore seasons professional in England than the rest of our back line put together today.
He's not great going forward, and he's not the most technically gifted football but he is very vocal and organises the defence.
Whenever we clear a cross or a corner you can hear Vincent telling them to push up.
The vocal side is often underrated and is something Nicholas doesnt do at all.
What with Aljofree out injured, Vincents expirence is vital.
