They have no pace up front at all. That is going to be a big problem for them I feel. Add to the extra European games, and I can see them languishing in the 8th/9th/10th positions. Certainly nowhere near the top 4.
If he does comes back into the fray, he'll give his all, at least for his teammates' sake, and we'll probably move on and forget eventually. Until May comes around.
The fans will boo him initially though. Of that there is no doubt.
Ralph Krueger has done an interview stating VVD will not be sold.

Leicester seemed to do OK in getting Mahrez and Kanté. Although they both came from Normandy teams, so maybe we should just concentrate our talent search in that region only.
With it being so late in the window, I can't see us selling him at all. We never sell key first team players in the last couple of weeks before the deadline.
No way we will let him go for £15M. Sporting have a 15% sell-on fee too, so that has to be factored in.
If he has a good season, his value will increase.
