Why are people so delusional that he'll come back here and not completely suck. Please don't give some bullshit about coming home and playing to the Holte about the guy who thought Villa was a London club when he signed and dreamed of playing for Arsenal 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know vast majority of transfer rumours every window are made up right? Also why are we discussing Spurs transfers? We were linked to Piatek but the Sun says he is singing for Spurs. Thats Why I mentioned Spurs. Lots of papers have suggested we were seriously interested in Piatek, along with Palace and Newcastle. Why are you so prickly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't give some bullshit about coming home and playing to the Holte about the guy who thought Villa was a London club when he signed and dreamed of playing for Arsenal Most of those goals were from 16/17 season when he was last good. It's always a risk signing a player who's gone full seasons without actually doing anything. It was with Drinkwater and it will be with Benteke if this is genuine (if it is it could well happen as Palace will want him off their books by the summer).

I've not seen anyone else play as many minutes as that and have such an obviously odd value for their xA90 and xG90. I've been asking around and xG and xA for bit part players is worthless. Connor Wickham has 4th highest xG per 90 in the PL. That said Grealish xG per 90 is 0.26 vs Benteke 0.19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets it together & produces for Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 He’s scored for Belgium this year if you feed him he’ll score simple as. He fired for Palace initially when they played to his strengths then had a injury hit season after. Needs games and a system geared towards whipping crosses in or playing to his feet in the box and he’ll score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
