TRO Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 On 12/20/2016 at 13:01, dont_do_it_doug. said: Honestly, why on earth Pulis thinks that's a good idea god only knows. He's nowhere near good enough for a mid table premier league side. Can't control, can't hold it up, can't pass, can't shoot. Will win the occasional header, which will normally go to the opposition. Will score the occasional goal with his head, but when was the last time you saw him attack anything in the box with conviction? I'll be astounded if it happens, particularly if we get actual money for him. The only time i can remember was away at Bournemouth last year.....not near consistent enough. has presence, but does little with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyvilla Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Surely have replacement lined up , with Kodja and Ayew away would leave us very light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted December 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2016 Think he'd do well in a team that are able to actually deliver a good set piece or cross. Our crossing is woeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Gestede is not a very good player and I don't think he should start games for us, but he is good as an impact player to throw in towards the end of the games. Whip in some crosses and he will score goals. He gives us a different option up front and I'd be glad to keep him. We bought him for £ 6-7 M didn't we? He has proved he can score in the premier league, the prices has inflated, it's the January transfer window and the clubs in the bottom of the PL are desperate - I would hold out for £ 10 M for him. I would rather see Gestede be thrown in to the team than Gabby or Kozáck. With Kodjia and Ayew unavailable in January I assume that we have a replacment lined up. Rhodes seems probable, never seen him play, but if Bruce rates him, I'd be happy to take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Rhodes has been strongly linked last week...any chance there could be a swop? Gestede is just a one dimensional striker really....no pace and to be effective you have to cross to him as he can't hold it up either. Getting our money back for him is a good result considering he's very much back up and even behind Gabby in the pecking order now. We have Ayew and Kodjia until the Cardiff game don't we so we have a bit of time to get in a striker for the Wolves game. FA cup is a write off for many reasons.

lexicon Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Excellent business for us if this comes off - we don't need him and the extra cash is useful for FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 it's annoying as we need to shift our forwards like Gestede and Kozak and replace them with capable midfielders, but we lose Ayew and Kodjia for 4 - 8 games and Bruce won't play RHM until he signs a contract, so we still need striker cover i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'd sell gestede and look to bring in another striker on loan for the remainder of the season and also give rhm his chance. If the reported fee of £7m is correct then it's a great deal for us. I like Rudy but he is never going to be a prolific striker for us so we may as well cash in.

I dont think Rhodes would be any different and with our lack of chances created would be a poor signing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 4-5 max in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Have I missed something? Isn't Gestede off to ACN anyway? So it wouldn't be leaving us light cos he wouldn't be here either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
