Bunnski Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Kozak/sellers/ Hepburn-Murphy, any one of those should be in the squad ahead of this lazy donkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Disagree, the worst thing about him is his lack of presence, he can win some headers occasionally and no doubt he can defend set pieces but for the majority it's like playing without a striker, I think Kozak can probably do it but I'd be very surprised if sellers or RHM have the skill, knowledge whatever to press a PL defence as a lone striker, takes some doing With how we are set up we need someone with a high work rate and lots of movement, gestede definitely doesn't offer either of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's flabbergasting that Garde thinks he's better than Kozak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The only good thing about Gestede is that he is a proven goalscorer in the Championship and can score us the goals to at least stabilise us next season. I doubt he will score enough to take us back up but he could get 20 goals and that will be vital. As for the Premier League, well it's signings like Gestede that are the reason we are getting relegated. A donkey at this level. And to think he is the replacement for Benteke! Sigh...

Hopefully this was the last time he started for us. Although it would be epic to watch him and Mertesacker "sprinting" against one another next week... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Agree he is not what we need, but you have to play to his strengths. We are not, so its no wonder we have a shite Gestede. Surely everyone can see this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Woeful player, what is good about him in this league? Ah well look on the bright side, the championship must be an awful league if he can score 20 + goals down there in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thank Christ Sherwood didn't sign more of his players if this is the kind of player he was looking to sign. Wonder if Lambert would buy him back...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Bad as he may be he gave us an outlet today and did win the ball and he was still miles better than Sinclair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have given Gestede a lot of time, but he really does not look like Premier League standard. He is slow and for his size does not have the effect he should. He wins headers and holds up the ball sometimes, but not enough times to make him effective. He is not good enough, but is still better than Kozak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Jersey_Villa Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 To be fair to the lad, his game is obviously us having wide players who can cross the ball into the box. If we don't intend to do that then he's a total waste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Mike Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 As a target player to hit him with anything above the waist he is good, Look for him to use his feet and he is crap, Hopefully he will get better but for now, high balls with others running around trying to pick up the flicks and whatever else happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Probably one of poorest target men we have ever signed. We have to keep though as he is great in championship and will be vital to helping us back up. if we do come up at first attempt I would then sell him as clearly he isn't good enough at this level. I'm sure we could get 6m back for him from a host of championship clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didiersix Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Had a dreadful airshot in the first half. But I thought he did well yesterday overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I says it before and I says it again though this guy looks like a target man he only works in a two. He needs the space the other guy creates otherwise he's pretty easily dealt with by PL standard defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Definitely ranks behind Heskey. Heskey could actually hold the ball up well and find a shirt, Gestede can't even do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Actually got a couple of clicks on yesterday, first time I've seen him manage it when any sort of regularity. That said playing the ball to his feet is akin to giving the ball away and he's a waste of a body up top. I think if it was anyone else but him alongside Ayew when he was nearly through he'd have made the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
