tonyh29 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 his goal v Citeh in the final showed where he could be good for us , but most matches he's so isolated with the way we play , i don't think we will ever see the best of him , unless we change styles .

Million miles off the level. And then bring another replacement from belgium who would need time to settle? He should stay as a backup striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't guarantee you anything. The players we buy need to be targetted to fit the system we intend to play and also we have no idea what sort of state Wesley is in. Firstly, lets stay up or we won't be spending 40 million on anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If we stay up we should sign Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, Coutinho and Keith Gillespie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Chris Wood, a Jay Rodriguez. Someone who knows the league been there done it, consistent performer with multiple strings to their bow. You don't need to go out and blow £40m on some name.

villa89 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Feel sorry for him given the zero service he gets but he does look like a player who needs a partner up front. It may have been an idea to play him instead of El Ghazi or Trez on the wings as he does work hard defensively but there won't be any changes this weekend.

The Fun Factory Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) If he can just get one goal I think he will be a lot more relaxed. Lacking confidence at the moment but is working hard. Edited July 22, 2020 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 He never seems to get the big chances that Davis usually ends up with which is annoying because I genuinely have not got a clue what his finishing is like. I'm sure since he joined in January any half chance he's had has been a header. Unless I'm completely missing something and someone can remind me I don't think we've seen him have a real good chance in front of goal with the ball at his feet.

LondonVillian Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Agree with others that he's been poor but to be fair I'm confident he would score the chances that Davis and el ghazi missed recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go a bit far back, but I believe this is the best chance he's had with us with his feet in the PL Its the second highlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree a shockingly bad player, someone tried to point out recently he had scored in the Champions league total garbage point rather have Cameron Archer on the pitch, just gone off hopefully never see him in a Villa shirt ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Not to put a downer on things but I hope to God that is the last time I see him in a Villa shirt. One of the worst so called 'strikers' I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
