ciggiesnbeer Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Quote he doesn’t seem to be an out-and-out striker, to me. He’s a player who spends a lot of time outside the 18-yard box. “Have Villa brought him to link the play? Cascerino in his rambling may have accidentally hit upon something here. Smith is more than capable of changing style of play., He may have plans for how he wants to play next season and Weseley fits that mold. Preseason will e interesting.

Glen Hoddle once said, back when Michael Owen was just coming into the England team, that he didn’t think he was a natural goal scorer. More incredibly someone, I can’t remember who, said that Thierry Henry also wasn’t a natural goal scorer. My point is, in the right set up some strikers thrive. Perhaps they wouldn’t have been as prolific had they played elsewhere. Hopefully we create the right environment for all of our players to play at their best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Henry was initially a winger/ inside forward, he developed in to the Henry we all know after joining arsenal and originally was not known for being a prolific goalscorer. What a player he turned in to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Big money signings from lesser leagues always unnerve me. I think it harks back to Norwich buying Ricky van wolfswinkel for about 20m and him to score 1 goal in 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more like for every 5 Wolfswinkels there is a Kompany. We need to be prepared for this guy to be a flop. It’s football, it happens. Obvs hope it will be the other outcome.
