PaulC Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Could be the first Villa player to score 20 league goals in a season since when Peter wither in 81? Not bad for a side that has been struggling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet comparison. Very similar. Extremely frustrating at times but capable of the sublime as well as the routine. He *might* get even better, but even should he not he's comfortably our best player. He'll end this season with 20 goals for a midtable championship side, that's with missing a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Wouldn't swap him for any other striker in the division. Different class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point a lot of people seem to be missing is that if it wasn't for his imperfections he wouldn't be playing for us in the EFL. So I'll gladly take him as he is and hope for just a small amount of improvement. I'll be lumping on him to be top scorer in the league next season. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's great where he is and I think he could do a job at PL level... But I probably wouldn't pay £12m plus a PL premium for him. He'll have to go up with us then eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I've been the biggest champion of this man on here. I don't get why we keep getting the "can be very frustrating" caveat all the time. Is it all the goals he scores which are frustrating? I like his get-up too. Very cool Edited March 11, 2017 by NottingVilla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 15 in 29 games is a pretty impressive record and 5th top scorer now in league, more impressive since he has missed 8 league games 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Love the guy. Couldn't understand any criticism of him. As previously stated, if his decision making was better he wouldn't be playing for us. Top guy. Most enjoyable thing about this club.

The criticism was basically because he's not the best player in the league. Because the goals he scored and the amount of assists people think he should have would make him the best championship player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey look I'm a MASSIVE fan but there are aspects of his game he can work on, mostly awareness. Nothing wrong with wanting him to be even better, I'm sure he wants this too. He has improved there mind, in my opinion. He's our best player, as I said. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted March 11, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2017 Our most complete attacker since Dwight Yorke. Can play central, out wide, can run with the ball, can shoot with either foot, is useful in the air, got some skill, scores all sorts of goals. If he'd been playing for decent clubs since he was a teenager instead of since his mid-20s he'd be far too good for us by now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although so does most of the squad so I guess free scoring more than makes up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he does it because its rediculous it has stood so long. Platt got to 19 two season running. the second was remarkable really as he was injured for a chunk of the season and played midfield.
