Butterfingers Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm looking for 3 players to hit double figures next season. 5 or 6 headed goals from Gestede along with 4 or 5 goals from strikes is not unrealistic to aim for. If one of the 3 get up to 15 or over then that will be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm not a big fan of 4-4-2, but thinking about having Gueye and Veretout in centre-mid, with Grealish and Ayew on the wings and Adebayor and Gestede upfront is making me salivate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least it's better than jizzing. Place is getting messy and sticky on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have a feeling Gestede could be our top scorer. Me too, he has kind of slipped under the radar with everything else going on but it wouldn't surprise me if he ends being one the best signings. Going to be very competitive now up front which will keep them all on their toes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 20 goals in the championship. Good signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm always cautious about spending big money on Championship strikers, they rarely seem to do well. It appears Gestede has all the necessary attributes to be a menace, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 6m for gestede or 15m for Austin who was on a lot of wish lists ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Austin will end up at the likes of Leicester - teams who'll throw money at staying up - a few years ago and that would be us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Austin has a pedigree though. He's been a goalscoring machine for a few seasons now. Gestede has had one good season in the Championship. Edited July 30, 2015 by abdomlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We should also sign one of the players who assisted majority of his goals from Blackburn. Some wicked crosses. I hear Veretout is good on set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Seen this a few times that he's only had one good season and I have no idea where it's coming from. He scored 13 in 27 games in the 13/14 season for Christ sake, and he was a substitute in 6 of those. Edited July 30, 2015 by penguin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryu.yokoi Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Love how physical he plays and his size. Mauler! Hopefully can learn a lot from Adebayor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shomin Geki Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Love how physical he plays and his size. Mauler! Hopefully can learn a lot from Adebayor. Mauler! I remember once, maybe during a friendly (?), Neil Ruddock wearing a shirt sporting the name 'Razor'. There was a fine afterwards. None of that in Blighty, thank you very much! With the money we're frisbeeing around of late I'm sure Randy could afford just one mad game of nothing but hard bastard prison nicknames on the back. Let's say we do it when we play...hmmm.... let's say Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain-from-Texas Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 His goals - lots of headers and tap-ins. What's wrong with headed goals? It's a repeatable skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 13 in 27 games in the 13/14 season for Christ sake, and he was a substitute in 6 of those. Yep. The reservations about the level he's played at I understand. But his goal scoring record has been pretty damn good for a while now. As pointed out earlier... With Blackburn in Championship 14/15 - 135 mins per goal (20 in 39 apps, 4 asst) 13/14 - 131 mins per goal (13 in 27 apps, 3 asst) With Cardiff in Championship 12/13 - 182 mins per goal (5 in 27 apps, 3 asst) 11/12 - 789 mins per goal (1 in 25 apps, 3 asst) With Metz in Ligue 2 10/11 - 188 mins per goal (3 in 11 apps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
