Where are they now...... Bambi Vaz Te

[David Lee's Hair]

Homeless and outcast from Greece....

Former Bolton Wanderers striker Ricardo Vaz Te has left Panionios by mutual agreement after failing to make an impact at the Greek Super League side.

Vaz Te, 24, left the Wanderers last summer after his contract expired, and signed a three-year deal with the Greek club who currently sit 14th in the league.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Y'know, if anyone could...

Nah, forget it.

[bettyrasta]

New set of studs and he could be a world-beater...

[bobo the clown]

Shame.

Still, I 'd like to have failed at the level he failed.

[Prufrock]

He'll always have Guimares to tell the grand kids. That and tales of living in Chorley, such as one of the lads I used to coach seeing him in the cinema, but refusing to talk to him coz he didn't know how to speak French.

At least it proves we were not wrong about him! shame flashes of good stuff but after the dingle incident you knew he wern't right.

and how many years did it take us to come to that decision?

Was shite, is shite, always has and will be shite.

Its not that he doesn't have the ability. But it became very clear very quickly that he didn't have the mental faculties, desire and determination to become a top player, or even a mid to low level player.

[boltonboris]

We'll see him back in England. He'll end up at Bradford or somesuch and end up doing the rounds in the lower leagues like Michael Ricketts

Vaz has joined Hibs on loan for the rest of the season:

Hibernian have completed the signing of former Bolton forward Ricardo Vaz Te until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old had been on trial with Hibs after being released by Panionios.

"Everything's completed now so we're delighted to announce he's confirmed as a Hibernian player," said Easter Road manager Colin Calderwood.

"He's missed a bit of football so there's a bit of fitness he's got to regain, but we'll stick him in the squad for tomorrow night."

The former Portugal U21 international, who can play wide or through the middle, left Bolton last summer after three injury-blighted seasons, agreeing a two-year contract with Panionios.

With the move to Leith now secured, Vaz Te could makes his debut against Hamilton on Tuesday.

"The reason to bring him in is to try and see what he can do - we'll try and push that as soon as possible," added Calderwood.

"It's an opportunity for him and ourselves to assess one another and see if we can have a fruitful end to the season.

"He's got good pace, good technical ability and has shown good shooting prowess in training."

Utter bollocks. It became very clear very quickly that he didn't have the knees to become a top player, or even a mid to low level player

Never applied himself. Thought he was "better than he was" and had "already made it" and acted like a billy big bollocks.

Oh and by all accounts he was constantly out drinking acting the "big charlie".

Wrong attitude in my book.

Sounds remarkably like England's saviour Wazza to me

Probably is, but Rooney at least has the talent to back some of that up. And the trophies to prove it.
