KenjiOgiwara Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 It's a weird one. I don't really rate him. Don't think he's very good at anything, yet his statistics this season speaks for themselves. He seems a good chap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he's very good at anything How can you possibly say that after last season for us? (1st player to score 20 league goals for Villa in decades.) And 8 in 8 so far this season - imagine he carried that on and scored 38 league goals? After the transfer ban they could sell him for 150 million! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the transfer ban they could sell him for 150 million! I've made that case before. Went through all of this goals and when you discounted obvious goals i.e. tap ins, penalties etc.he didn't do that well. Just a personal opinion. He's obviously doing really well, so it's just that. Sure most people have some players they don't rate that are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Only place he didn't score was Swansea who were relegated, give him chances and he will do the business Prob be on similar amount of goals if played for Villa this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the transfer ban they could sell him for 150 million! It's weird but i kinda agree with kenji. When you watch him he doesn't stand out like some of the great goalscorers, Sure he's putting the ball in the net, and on a regular basis but i'm not really sure that he creates that dread like oh no we are playing spurs, kane will tear us apart, Liverpool Salah will destroy us, how the hell do you defend against lukaku etc. Give it another year or so at this rate of goals and i'm sure that will change but i guess the amount of simple chances he missed last year, despite scoring a load is still there in the back of my mind & If i saw him going through one on one i would still kind of expect him to miss 6 or 7 times out of 10 at the moment for some reason which isn't really something you should be thinking about someone who is scoring in nearly every game. Maybe it's just as a result of seeing him week in week out last season and knowing that he wasn't exactly a superstar with 8/9 out of 10 performances every week.

Maybe it's just as a result of seeing him week in week out last season and knowing that he wasn't exactly a superstar with 8/9 out of 10 performances every week. Fair enough. Last season he did miss some you would want him to score. I can see that people think he's not that great because he also doesn't create 'wow' goals out of nothing himself that often (like a Bergkamp, Cantona or even Benteke at Villa.) But I remember Andy Cole, Rooney and Michael Owen didn't always finish everything that came their way. No-one has an 80% chance to goal conversion rate (apart from Wesley this season ) I think he's great because: 1) His attitude and application is absolutely 1st class - the way he harried defenders for us last season was fantastic. 2) His movement off the ball is terrific hence why he gets so many chances including the ones he misses 3) When things aren't going his way, he still does 1 & 2 will 100% effort. 4) He has a goal a game ratio so far in his 1st season with a decent team in the PL. That's pretty terrific however the next 3/4 of the season pans out. It's also going to make watching England bearable if he's involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicVillan Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Nice goal from Tammy today - joint top scorer now..his movement makes Wesley look like a statue. What a pity we couldn't sign him but I guess he made the right choice, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
