DCJonah Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 He doesn't seem like a lone striker so can't see us spending this much on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Youtube verdict. He's fast. But his assists and goals are pretty painting by numbers stuff. Don't compare to a Big Ben highlights reel that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 As someone has said he's not an out and out striker something we need to replace Benteke and the price tag is extreme for someone who has had only one good season If he turns out to be gash we will incur a massive loss it would be a gamble and considering the purse strings are so tight we really need to get this replacement right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 From what I managed to find online he's very much like gabby. Get shoved out wide/inside forward. Maybe would work with a big guy next to him up front but I'll be shocked if we spend £12m on this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Never liked him in Grange Hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Never seen him play, but apparently he played out wide a lot and was moved up front last season with a partner, scored 15. Looks decent on the Youtubes. Only 22. Edited July 22, 2015 by abdomlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a striker in the world available to Aston Villa that is going to satisfy what you want. Edited July 22, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug.

VillaChris Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Good player, would actually prefer him to Embolo. Dunno how true the link is but I'd sign up right now signing Rolan and Adebayor (loan). Rolan would play wider and would be a damm sight better than Gabby or Weimann in those positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Know nothing about him really so no idea what to think about this but I trust our scouting network.

PaulC Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 We don't have to play with a target man. Really 12 mil for a striker is nothing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Looks a definite replacement for Gabby, plus ten years to the good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If he becomes our main striker we could have a really small starting XI. Adding him at 5ft 9 and Gueye roughly the same height along with Gabby, Grealish and Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Looks to be fast, technical, tenacious and fairly direct. On the small side but I think he wouldn't play as a striker for us, more where Grealish/N'Mongbia have been playing.

Ponky Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We are never going to replace Benteke in a month of Sundays. We need to recast the Villa attack in a different mold so we are not relying on a single goalscorer. If this bloke offers us something different then fabulous, as long as there is also another striker coming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd take Harry Kane, but only if Spurs pay 99% of his wages as I don't like his face. Kane out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 He looks a very good player and a big improvement on Gabby. Him and Sinclair either side of a front man is going to work full backs to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
