VillaChris Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Given he was involved tonight I doubt any deal will happen until January 31st. It would be a bit bonkers to sell him at the same time as half our strikeforce disappears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Bruce confirmed tonight that we are in talks with Boro about Gestede. Quote There's been an interest from Middlesbrough, that's all it is at the moment," he said. "I do believe the two clubs are speaking, so we'll see what happens in thenext 24-48 hours." http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/10711433/steve-bruce-pleased-with-point-after-aston-villa-draw-late-with-leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I am beginning to think we should keep him, gives us a presence up front that we don't have elsewhere. Get a left winger to go with Adomah and let's play to his strengths. At least it would look like a game plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Gestede gave us more urgency when he came on and he won us the penalty, this is why I would like him to stay. A very good impact player and worth more to us than the £6M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Really surprised if we sell him so early...I wouldn't hold my breath on a striker coming in on January 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't know why, but I'd be sad to lose Gestede. Always seems to try, and we can't complain when he doesn't skin his marker, because we knew exactly what we were getting with him. As with others, would keep him for the option he provides. I suspect he wants to move for more time or opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 its going to be Peter Crouch all over again isn't it , we think we are getting rid of a donkey and he gets sold on to Liverpool in a few seasons time if we sell him and get an upgrade into the bargain then whats not to like about the deal ?

TRO Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 He was instrumental in winning that penalty tonight.....He offers something different in terms of physical presence that the others don't. I understand why SB is going to sell him, because he has 6 strikers, but 2 are Gabby & Kozak hardly miss them. He wants funds for other dep'ts I would sooner lose other strikers like the above 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be sorry to see Gestede go but the problem for Bruce is that he would need to spend most of his budget in January buying players who could play with him effectively. We would need a couple of really good wingers and someone who could play off him to capitalise on his headed knock downs. At present I don't see anyone like that in the squad. Another example of the directionless and almost random player purchasing we have done over the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 poor idea to sell him, he offers us a different dimension especially in this league and even in PL last year he is a definite supersub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he caused the equaliser and put Kodjia through for what should've been the winner - I'm assuming he means us. He's scored a goal every 185 minutes for us this season, which is actually a pretty good return when msot of those minutes have been a spread thin over games.

Weren't there well placed rumours that karanka never wanted Rhodes and he was bought by Steve Gibson? Given his lack of production at Boro I'd be surprised if they wanted to keep him. A swap or some form of loan buy would suit both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
