AValon Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just remember, that for every goal, he has probably missed a chance or two as well. joy Well, I remember a certain England international saying once that HE missed a lot more than he could have scored, despite scoring some of the most explosive long range goals in memory.....its just no-one remembers the misses. Or words to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I think you should expect more in the upcoming week as the rumors point to him being revealed as a player then, doubt anything is happening this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 He may be a bit raw but I'd tell you to go away if you told me Gabby or Andi scored a few goals like those. No disrespect to them but some of those goals required exquisite technique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 He looks technically good, he looks quick and he looks like he can finish. He might not hit the ground running like Benteke as he doesn't have the same physical attributes but I think he could become a very good player for us.

DamsonwoodVillan Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'd be quite excited about him. He looks like he knows where the back of the net is. I'm guessing Lambert will start the season still favouring the 433/451 so he may have to wait a while for his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Clearly a very gifted footballer. I know, everyone is a star on YouTube but his touch, movement and most surprisingly his pace are a joy to behold. He's nothing like Peter **** Crouch.

Mattyp_avfc Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 If we do end up getting him (Pretty likely by the looks of it) Very likely going to get him on my shirt :3 I'd guess he'd take the Number 9 shirt when Bent vacates B6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianvillain Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 He's bagged 4 goals in two matches on my FM save, let's get him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Am I alone in thinking he is very much like Dennis Bergkamp? Some of those touches & finishes in the video clips are truly sublime. I also see the Tore Andre Flo similarity too mentioned by other posters. Looks like we have unearthed another real gem & a steal at £1.5 M to boot if that is to be the final reputed figure. Am loving this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 He reminds me more of Denmark's best ever outfield player Michael Laudrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I revel in the wait and discovery. I'm liking this window so far. Feels like high risk instead of a dull 'safe bet' that seems to back fire on us anyway.

avfcwills10 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 villa-revolution, i saw the Bergkamp link in him as well. Specifically that goal that he like flicked behind him past the defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Lambert will start the season still favouring the 433/451 so he may have to wait a while for his chance. I think Tonev and Helenius could be used as rotation options for Gabby & Weimann in the wide roles, so he might not need to wait too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The more i watch those vids, the more im convinced that he is Bentekes eventual replacement. I dont think they would compliment each other at all, in that they are very similar. Looks to me we have replaced Benteke early and saving a few quid in the process. 12 months covering Benteke aswell as a few starts in the cups ect, gradually building up his strength and we have a top class player for next to nothing and one whom i think well be a lot better than Benteke! Lambert really is turning into the messiah in my view. Absolute gem of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think if he was Benteke's replacement we would have gone bigger, we'd have gone all out for Cornelius or someone bigger. This guy hopefully will sign next week and Lambert should get him in the gym in the months coming up to the premier league season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
