AntrimBlack Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Be gutted if Kozak leaves after this. Has looked a handful in pre season. But Gestede seems like a good buy, especially for around £5-7 mil. 20 goals last year in the championship is pretty good, reckon he could kick on and have a Austin/Ings type season for us. After Ade and Rudy, we need a winger or attacking mid to help provide the chances for our strikers. If you look at our squad, after Grealish and Gil, I see no creativity whatsoever. Hope we get Veretout or Praet or someone of that ilk. Ayew provided a lot of assists, I think, hopefully he is going to take Agbonlahor's spot, and that would provide some chances.

AntrimBlack Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The money would be better spent on getting a quality centre back! If Baker is going, it is likely we have that in mind. Hope so. But we also need goals, so hopefully we are addressing both situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Doesn't his goal record at Cardiff worry anyone else? He's also nearly 27 and never done it outside the championship. He's done well at Blackburn but some players just have a good few years at certain clubs. Not convinced. It does me, I think he might be like Beckford.

dudevillaisnice Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 In fairness Beckford came to the PL from league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is a very exciting window isn't it! Just need that CM (hopefully Veretout) and CB to top it all off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marley the Bognor Villan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 A lot of people appear to be over-looking what our options would be if we sustain any injuries. Its all very well saying we dont need him because we have Adebayor (or vice versa) but what happens if Adebayor gets injured? Oops, we need someone. If 2 strikers are injured we need decent ones to come in and still need a sub(s) available. No point preparing for a season if we dont have the resources to get through it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think we'd learn our lesson on relying on one or two players with a load of shit sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Gueye/Veretout to replace Delph/Cleverley Ayew to replace Gabby/Weimann Gestede/Ade to replace Benteke/Kozak Amavi to replace Cissokho Richards to replace Vlaar Bunn to replace Given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I don't want to get greedy with all the potential incoming's but we really need a centre back, especially if Baker leaves. Don't think we've been linked to anyone recently, have we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think after Gestede Adebayor and Veretout all that's missing is a CB Get a quality one in drop Bacuna to the bench and shift Richards to RB We will then have a very good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Maybe we will have a 'VAG' announcement tomorrow. Veretout, Adebayor and Gestede. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 30, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2015 Kozak is available according to Nixon. That would be disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
