Despite all the hype surrounding Vuckic, he's shown very little. He's injury-prone and other than the WBA home game where he did well, he's done absolutely nowt of any promise in competitive matches for NUFC. A few nice goals in pre-season apart, what else have we seen from him?
Bigirimana has been in our shirt for five minutes, way too early to say he's 'ahead' of Gosling (able to make 15-20 or so appearances in the season), and Abeid has had two games in our colours where he looked solid yet unspectacular.
Gosling hasn't really set the world on fire, but name me one player who has after the length of time out due to injury he has had. I know Ben Arfa might be a tempting example, but he took ages to get up to speed and get in the team (into the weakest part of the team where R.Taylor and Obertan were starting) compared to the form we had in CM - Cabaye, Tiote, Guthrie and even Perch.
He'll come good, imo. He had a season to be dipped into the squad and make some sporadic contributions and get his full level of fitness back. I think we'll see him start to fulfil his promise over the coming season, although time will tell.
