I did look up his stats a while back and that 1 season aside, i think he had scored about 20 goals in the previous 8 or so years. I'll admit that previous to this year I've never really watched the championship, but he looked absolutely useless in the PL, so I'm not holding to much hope for the bloke. you are right, never prolific before that season. But that is also true of Kodjia who we signed after he had 1 good year in a much weaker league. Some players are just late bloomers. That's said you are in a better position to judge Gestede than I am, having only seen him from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case there's no excuse for you to not score bucket loads with the attacking options you have, arguably the best forward players in the league. Gestede is absolutely awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited and maybe only able to cut it at a certain level - yes. But at Championship level, absolutely awful is harsh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are easily confused then. I follow both Everton and Villa. Not unheard of to support two teams in one or separate leagues. Just seen the goal. Looking forward to see him play.

sne Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) So is it terrible of me to secretly hope that the AFCON in January gets postponed again? Nothing serious like war or Ebola of course. Corruption or something political would suffice. Edited September 4, 2016 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't "support" 2 teams but I do have a certain affinity with Everton, don't know why that is, I do have some very good friends from Toxteth who are massive toffee fans and I suspect it's having an uglier, smaller team locally that give it the big 'un at every opportunity when in fact, they are just shit.

Member of a large family split between Villa and Everton. I decided to take an interest in both teams to be neutral which can have its own problems.

They're a traditional club similar to Villa. There are other teams I like to see do well, but none come close to the love I feel for my one and only club. I was just interested to hear how that works. We (Villa) are obviously in a different league now, which makes dual support easier, but what did you do when we played Everton? Did you pick a side or hope it's a draw? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great football. I think those games will return to Villa next season as Villa will be promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) The view I take is that he is probably better than anyone we have at the moment. Pricey yes but almost certainly worth the money. Edited September 4, 2016 by Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
