sexbelowsound Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Seems clear that if you play to his strengths he will score goals. If he was the only striker we had I'd be concerned we had just tried to replace Benteke's aerial presence but with players capable of scoring and creating from different areas now I reckon he will be a great asset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dAVe80 Posted July 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I'm sure the comparison has already been made (I ain't trawling through every post to find out!), but from just watching that video a few pages back he reminds me of John Carew. This pleases me. Edited July 31, 2015 by dAVe80 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Fantastic heading ability. Looking forward to seeing him in the shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! I think he's a better option than trying to force Weimann into Sherwood's style of play Edited July 31, 2015 by Tubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Rudy Gestede, he's Rudy Gestede. Who needs Benteke we've got you instead Tres Bien Edited July 31, 2015 by Tubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Will be good at defending set pieces. Better than Benteke was anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Showing my age now, but 'Oooooh, I could crush a grape...' Welcome Rudy - all you have to do is pass the 'cough and drop' and sign on. I have no real clue as to how good most of our incoming signings are this season - but for some reason, supporting Villa feels like that old Cadbury Crunchie advert - the one with the chocolate roller coaster...

Neil Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We need to adapt this to somehow fit in with a good football chant for him, it's certainly an apt song now until he's over the line :-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbqiCxEIeEo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted July 31, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2015 I always find that its good to look at the reaction of the clubs fans on hearing news on a player leaving as to how good a player is. In saying that Gestede leaving has barely caused a ripple in the few forums ive read, and all the owners bang on about is not losing Rhodes. Wonder how high they actually rate him?

Eames 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. I couldn't give a toss if they come off his arse. It's the "lots" bit I'm interested in. If he scores 15 goals he'll have had a good season.

Obviously a lot of the time comments have to be taken with the understanding that they will be emotional, but I cant think of a better way to judge the player other than by the fans who watch him every week.
