I've only seen Gestede in highlights reels (I watch pretty much every Football League Show) and the odd match on Sky. He looks an absolute player but I'd suggest that the defences in the Championship may not be quite as smart as Premier League defences.
He appears to be strong, fantastic in the air and a nightmare to try and win the ball from. If we wanted to sign a Benteke-lite, purely for aerial prowess, Gestede fits the bill. That's my only concern, I've heard a lot of people say they rate him but defences in the Championship are just not the same. We've seen many talented players take the step up and just not cut the mustard. Remember Jermaine Beckford? I thought he was absolute class before signing for Everton but he wasn't the same in the PL.
Different, I think, because Beckford and others rely more on their skill/pace which can be read and dealt with (unless you're an absolute speed merchant). Gestede is an absolute unit. If the ball is crossed in, he'll be trouble to deal with.
I'm not sure he's the "right answer", but he offers that approach. Kozak, Ayew, Agbonlahor, Adebayor - none of these do the same thing.
I suppose you're right, there aren't as many modern defenders in the lower leagues and pacy, skilful players tend to have a good time with this, this seems to be one of the reasons so many people think Baker belongs in the Championship. If we're bidding for Gestede then I wonder what the price is? As a lot of posters seem to rate Oulare, if it's about the same price then it may just be a case of which one actually wants to join us.
I guess it is hard to see the phone hiding in that cupboard under the stairs.I much prefer sitting in the toilet with it. Plus I get to kill 2 birds with one stone that way.
And they say we cant multi-task!
Pfft! Women eh?
