GarethRDR Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Sportbox.ru"]Дзюба заинтересовал «Астон Виллу» Aston Villa interested in Dzyuba Английская «Астон Вилла» предпримет попытку приобрести нападающего московского «Спартака» и сборной России Артема Дзюбу. English club Aston Villa will attempt to buy Spartak Moscow and Russian international striker Artem Dzyuba. Как стало известно Sportbox.ru, наставник бирмингемцев Алекс Маклиш сделал 23-летнего воспитанника красно-белых главной трансферной целью клуба в грядущее межсезонье. Шотландский специалист - известный приверженец габаритных форвардов, рассматривает Дзюбу как замену 34-летнему Эмилу Хески, контракт которого истекает этим летом. Sportbox.ru understands that Alex McLeish will look to bring the 23 year-old "Krasno-Belye" player to Birmingham's top club before next season. The Scottish coach - a well-known proponent of imposing forwards - considers Dzuyba an ideal replacement for 34 year-old Emile Heskey, whose contract expires this summer. Бывший нападающий сборной Англии большую часть текущего сезона провел на позиции оттянутого нападающего. Именно на этой позиции использует в нынешнем сезоне Дзюбу и Валерий Карпин. The former England striker has played most of the current season in a similar position to the one that Spartak coach Valery Karpin has utilised Dzyuba. Примерная трансферная стоимость россиянина, забившего восемь мячей в 34 играх сезона-2011/12, 6 миллионов фунтов стерлингов. The approximate transfer fee for the Russian (who has netted 8 times in 34 games this season) would be £6m. I don't necessarily have a problem with us being linked to target-men types (especially if it guarantees Heskey's exit), as it's not an option we currently have our disposal (not an effective one, anyway). My concern will be how such a player would be used by McLeish, and the implictions for our continued tactical approach (and I use the word "tactical" in its loosest possible sense).

the_eristic Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Scoring rate is nowhere near as impressive as Dost's (but not many are, tbf), but yeah, the idea buying someone to take up Heskey's mantle is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It will be good to have someone to get on the end of our Cryuff like wing play and Dutch style of playing! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 His goal to game ratio isn't that good. Would rather have Dost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 If Actoh Bunny are buying a Russian striker it will most likely be Pogrebnyak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF to his head and hope for the best.. football has moved on from that unfortunately McLeish hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point there is it's not necessarily a bad thing to have that option in our proverbial locker, but it is very much a bad thing if that approach comprises the entirety of said locker.

bromsgrove_avfc Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Why is everybody so optimistic that were buying a striker to replace Heskey. Under Mcleish and Lerner I fully expect them to be Bents replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 well with bent and nzog no doubt being sold amongst others if this retarded manager is still in a job here, there should be plenty of money to throw at random people, none of whom will be half as good as bent. so after getting rid of the remaining top quality at our club ( bent, and dont be suprised if spurz come in for shay given) we will have a dog shit manager and poor quality players. oh i cant wait.

GarethRDR Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 a lot of money for that scoring record Paying for potential, innit. He did quite well on loan at Tom Tomsk, has recently made the step up from the Russia U-21's to the full national side and he's not really spearheading the attack anyway. Spartak either use him just off Welliton's shoulder or as an attacking midfielder behind a front three of Ari, Welliton and Emenike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Oh god just let this nightmare end please.. Don't let this clueless manager spend any money. What I can see happening is Bent leaving to go to liverpool, and we will bring in a 6'4 + striker and play long balls, To suit McLeish style of play.. I cant Wait for next Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Is AM pursual of nothing but forwards of late his way of trying to subconsciously convince us he isn't negative? I think it's more he has a concern that Bent will be on his way out and with Heskey already going and Delfouneso a possible exit as well he needs more depth in that area. It wouldn't surprise me if Gabby was relegated to a permanent left wing role and we start playing 4-4-2 with a combination of Dost/Dzyuba or Dost/Weimann or Dzyuba/Weimann. I really do believe that McLeish thinks Bent will be going.. If Bent was staying he wouldn't be scouting so many strikers, given when fit Bent is our number one and only striker.

GarethRDR Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 A target man who plays as an attacking midfielder ? Sounds an odd blend He's got the height/physicality to play further forward, it's just not where he's playing at the moment. Tom Tomsk had him at the very front, as did Russia. His versatility could prove useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
