sir_gary_cahill Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well Delfouneso should be better than Drogba was last year, next year. He would be already if he had been played, he should be played regularly from now on, him and bent would be my dream strike partnership they would be lethal, they'd score 20 between them between now and the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 he is a goalscorer imo dunno the stats but it must be about 8 goals now in around 10 starts plus loadsa sub appearances cant see him getting a look in with 4-5-1 with Bent tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Still think he needs a loan spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmith1986 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Saw him after the match outside players exit. He was talking to a short, black 30s looking Blackburn player (sorry don't know who) and to a smartly dressed skinnier black guy in his early 40's (at first I thought he was a former Villa great because Villa players were going up to say hello (Bannan and Albrighton + Fonz...help me out with my limited pre-2006 Villa knowledge!!) Anyways, Nathan came across as a little whiney baby. He said "Yeah man, well it ain't my position, the gaffer should know I'm a striker...I don't play out there....But you know, I bang in the goals cause that's my job baby, banging them in...." Not exactly eloquent. BTW, no clue what Bannan was saying except for a couple words here and there ...I don't understand HIS Scottish accent. Met Albrighton and sat next to his parents at the match, great people. Delfouneso 'I bang in the goals' has got 2 in 15 appearances this season... Any other stories to tell about any other players? Or to put a different spin on it: Delfouneso Stats League: Starts 2 - Goals 2 (Although 1 of the goals was presumably v Pompey as a sub - that is the only goal I can remember him ever scoring as a sub) FA Cup: Starts 5 - Goals 4 Other: Starts 3 - Goals 2 (Europa cup I presume?) Pretty impressive record. He isn't the finished article and is sometimes frustrating, but there is a hell of alot of potential in the lad. I would like to see him playing off Bent at some point - in the Ashley Young role effectively. Scored with a very good downward header today too!

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 There's something missing with the lad and I can't quite put my finger on it. He's got control, good feet, quick, can finish. Don't know why I don't rate him higher, but I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 There's something missing with the lad and I can't quite put my finger on it. He's got control, good feet, quick, can finish. Don't know why I don't rate him higher, but I don't. He seems to lack a bit of urgency doesn't he? He doesn't exactly swan about like Berbatov but he has that kind if mentality I think. Also he's always slow to react to passes and rebounds. Still think he's deserving of a decent run upfront, though I can't see how it would come about. We already need to leave Heskey, Albrighton and Makoun/NRC out of the team so he's some way down the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm warming to Delfouneso a lot more, he has impressed me this season in the appearances he has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a good player and a brilliant prospect but just how longer can he stay a prospect? He's got good vision and quick feet but his decision making is something that could be improved. Think he's a bit nervous. Either that or he's always caught in two minds as he's not the quickest to react to a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The new Yorke, please wise up to yourself. Lets see how The Fonz goes, I like him and I think he deserves a run in the team but thats very high expectations man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTERYMAN Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have been critical of him more about his application but pleasing to hear how they say he is really knuckling down in training and they are seeing a big improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think he's more likely to be the new Agbonlahor than the new Yorke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have been critical of him more about his application but pleasing to hear how they say he is really knuckling down in training and they are seeing a big improvement Brilliant news. I hope that can be rewarded at some stage of the season. Although it's going to be tough now Bent is here. GH seems good with the younger players though.

PompeyVillan Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think he's more likely to be the new Agbonlahor than the new Yorke Which would be an achievement in itself. He's got more natural footballing ability than Gabby had, a bigger physique and similar (although nowhere near as rapid) pace. He's got the ingredients, it's just application, development a bit of luck needed to make a decent player of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think he's more likely to be the new Agbonlahor than the new Yorke Got much better feet than Gabby, and almost has the pace. He has the potential to be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Would like to see him get a run playing with Bent or Heskey. I think his best position is as "second" striker when he can make runs without being the main target man. May be worth giving him a go in there instead of Ashley - I think he would be more of a goal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 No he will become that I don't expec him to, but he is an intelligent striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
