turnbull Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Better fan behaviour that I'm not even going to bite to. Bennett was definitely below the standard required of a PL player, but gradually improved as the season went on; even shining in some games. KEA has had trouble adapting to the pace of the PL. Nothing shameful about that. Better players have failed to and better players will go on to fail. But to write him off after a season? Baffling. And Bowery, as I stated has done nothing wrong. He wasn't even bought to be a first teamer, but he has done well in most games he has been a part of and as I stated, we haven't lost a game he's started. Very little patience in the game these days, a sign of the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 with that age / height / caps / club goals can I just call his price 1/35th of an andy carroll? but I am a bit disappointed we arent buying English... What like some of the U-21's who just lost their third straight game,this time against Israel. I think your sarcasm meter is off today. A sarcasm meter, that's a really useful device Ironically, I can't tell if this is a sarcastic dig at my expense or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 yeah its just he seems to know who they are, not sure if they are reputable journos or who they write for so it could be any old shite stan doesnt take much following to realise that he's probably just retweeting comments that favour the arguement he's trying to create, no doubt he's had several very positive ones which he's ignored (and blocked the tweeter, cos thats what stan does) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've signed him on FM before, that's about my limit of knowledge about him. What we needed with the imminent departure of Bent is someone who can step in for Benteke during cup games or injured/suspended/rest or even i imagine on a few occasions to partner him if we changed things up. Helenius I can't imagine will be anywhere close to Benteke but a player of similar ilk allows for easy transition if Benteke is missing and most likely when he departs in a season or two (I hope not this summer). By all accounts, he doesn't sound a bad player and for the small price he will inevitably sign for, it seems a decent enough gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Mat Kendrick just posted on Twitter that he thinks the deal for Helenius will cost us roughly £2 million but he is unsure about the length of the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well all the Beligan press didn't think Benteke was ready either... i seem to remember the 'Belgian Heskey'. Hopefully we're now signing the Danish Heskey then!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted June 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2013 Youtube can make almost anyone look world-class. Having said that, I like that in the clips his team does not simply target his head given how tall he is. He shows good technique and a wide range of goals (range, tight angles, tap ins). Looks a good fit - an exciting link! Sign Okore now and perhaps a LB and all that remains is selling off the deadwood. It would be the best transfer period in recent memory.
