Quite a few of his goals appear to be first time instinctive strikes, without taking too many touches. Of course there might be another montage somewhere of him missing 80 opportunities between each strike, but I'm hoping he can come in and give everyone a lift with a few cheeky poaches on his debut! Incidentally I heard that he's not been registered in time to be able to play tonight. Can anybody confirm/deny pls? He did have a short period of drought at the start of last season. But I wouldn't say due to lack of technique but more due to some bad luck, good goalkeeper what resulted in some lack of confidence (guess every striker has such periods once in a while). But looking to what he performed after that period, I'm not doubting he will score goals for you. And if not, you have a hard worker that will keep defenders busy for your other attackers to score. Actually, he could've had even more goals if it wasn't for a non-working VAR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2020 I have a theory that our new 50 million Tanzanian fans who were tweeting their prayers for Villa - have literally got us that win today. And I aint religious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Not asking for much. Just score 2 goals against Leicester and hat trick against Bournemouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Smith has confirmed he is eligible to play in the 2nd leg of the semi final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Something about this just feels right to me. Even if he doesn't hit the ground running in terms of goals, his work rate is going to transform our attack. Would it also be fair to say that John Carew was probably the last striker we had that was very good in the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Ken McNaughts Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thought I detected a brief airing of "Sama, Sama-goal" in the Holte during the second half (I was in Trinity Upper). Definitely one in the Witton Arms after the match. He must have been drooling watching that atmosphere. This is your new home, my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I know nothing about him and his youtube videos or goals in a the Belgium league doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I do however see from the videos on youtube that he isn't afraid of getting stuck in and he seems way more mobile up front than anything we got. So I am kinda excited to see how this pans out. If there's one thing we need it's a striker that can get stuck in and run around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, just came here to say I wondered what he thought when Konsa scored and the roof came off VP? No disrespect to Genk at all, but when he heard that roar - and imagined himself on the pitch - his hair must have stood on end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
