Some of the injuries I have no doubt are the result of him being too enthusiastic and throwing himself about. However, I don’t think that is something you want to take away from a player.

I for one am saddened by people saying ’get rid’ as though he has been some massive embarrasment or burden on the club. He’s been unlucky and that’s about it. We should stick with him and show the rest of football that empathy, understanding and committment is still alive and kicking in our great football team at least!

Granted Vaughan is still young BUT he just isn’t up to the rigours of Premier League football. Oh, and as for keeping him and showing loyalty, his wages could go to paying for a player, and I must admit I'm out on a limb here, who would ACTUALLY play on a regular basis for our "great football team"!

People need to face facts, Vaughan’s Premier League career is over, as is Anichebe’s. With our resources, we do not have room for these two players. If we must keep them, put Vaughan on a Saha type contract, ie, pay-as-you-play and put Anichebe on a pay-as-you-score contract and that way we’ll all be happy!

We had people on here up to July asking for AvdM to be given another chance and saying he was really talented and gifted but the reality is, he was neither for our team in 4 years, the same must be said of Vaughan and Anichebe!

In that same time, Agbonlahor has outshone most, he has undoubted quality and he is constantly on the pitch. It is irrelevant if the other forwards are soon to depart, these two will either be injured (a la Vaughan) or pants (a la Victor).

I believe that the way to give young players experience is to give them the first 45 minutes. The same goes for new signings. DM thinks it may take a year for Bily to settle in. It certainly will if he gets ten minutes a week to prove himself.

The Yak is another example. Six months to get fit? He needs to start games and come off early; otherwise, coming on for a final, frantic ten minutes will see him injured again.

Young players and new players need a run in the side, Leighton Baines is an example of how this can work... Unfortunately it seems that only injury to his favourites can force DM to give someone a chance. I wish he had more faith in the players he buys. Being a super-sub is no way to build a career.

Problem with Vaughan is he constantly gets injured so never really gets to the stage where he's gonna become a regular starter for us. What we gonna do, drop the Yak or Saha to start Vaughan? Don't think so!
Whereas Anichebe just isn't up to standard in my opinion. And as for Bily, he played his first few matches as sub but has made quite a few starts now, certainly not just last 10 mins every game.

Some people seem to be forgetting just how old these lads were when they made their debuts for Everton, whereas other teams don’t start bringing players into the first team until they are 20 or 21.

When he’s been fit, he hasn’t been given a chance, because people like Jo come on instead who are awful in some games. It’s a really saddening situation, all kicked off by that first injury picked up on international duty. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
