I never rated VDV as a playmaker. You know he doesnt get "it" as some more creative players do like Zizou, Nasri, Veron, Totti, Messi, Ronaldinho. But that is no knock on his talent. I think the days where you needed prototype playmaker are long gone. And I see a lot of teams having success with players who are more direct, goal-orientated than traditional trequarsista. I think VDV would fit perfectly into wing forward in 3 attack line-up. And surprisingly I think he would complement Iaquinta very well, feeing off knocks from Iaquinta who has terrific industry (though I wish he used his brain a bit more).
