PieFacE Posted August 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Anyone know when he's due back? With the team we've currently got he'd be my first choice striker for sure. Having Green, McGinn, Grealish, Hourihane and Adomah playing off him could be magical imo. I think we'd look a much better side having someone at the top being able to hold the ball and bring others into play.

Another commodity that i think we lack, and also think is a massive attribute at this level is pace, so i would be happy to see either Davies or RHM lead the line. When you consider that we have spent about a gazillion pound on strikers since relegation, I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad to suggest our best option up front is one of two guys from the academy.

Perhaps uncle Jorge can find us something. I think you are right the midfield have a bit of a task when the central striker can't hold it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? Poor as Kjodia was yesterday - I think it is more likley that he finds some form and goals than either RHM or Davis tbh. He has previous for goals - RHM and Davis at first team level don't. Pretty sure we will bring a striker on loan in any case - I would then expect Kjodia, Davis & RHM to be fringe players ..in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 12, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think Kodjia's best days may be behind him - he's still a very decent striker at this level though. Personally I think Davis is our best option up front from the group we currently have - his ability to bring others into play would work really well with McGinn and Grealish - I think that could be something that would be very difficult to defend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted August 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2018 Really want to see him reintegrated in the first team asap. Another year older and experienced should make him a better player too, but he needs first team footy to kick on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Doesn’t sound like he is any closer to getting back fit again in fact it’s the opposite. According to Bruce he has had this issue since last March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) any news on him?, injured?, playing? From what I saw of him he would suit DS, capable player who just needs to work on his finishing? Was always impressed with his passing and interchange, as well as pace and strength.

Back in training according to Smith int he pre match Derby interview. Be very interesting to see Smith's impact on the academy products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Word on the street is the fitness staff were fuming with Steve Bruce's handling of his injury last season, constantly playing him when struggling, and he should have had an operation a long time ago.

I haven't read anything but Dean Smith said in his post match a few weeks ago he was "recovering from his operation" Whether that is accurate or he has false information based on what has happened before he got here I don't know.
