BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Do we no if he is out with Belgium at mo? Granted he will not be playing but wouldn't surprise me if he gets called for the get together. I'd like to think he's focusing more on his rehabilitation than a random get together. They like a little get together those Belgians. 7 of them in a bed all rubbing each others ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Please please please get taken over so we can keep the big man longer!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't care if we have to wait until December, we cannot rush him back. Last year, although he scored 10 goals, he could have scored more if we'd have just looked after him better. He'd have comfortably got to 15 regardless if he hadn't snapped his Achilles. He was bang in form at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westholmevillan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Please, dont rush him back. Sometime in October would be great. No doubt he will play a couple of under 21 games before going into the first team squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Please please please get taken over so we can keep the big man longer!!! I can see him leaving regardless. Unless we bought in a few impressive players and give him a big contract maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 He'll be back in October would be my bet. Even if he does leave he wont be going anywhere for less that the sort of money Chelsea paid for Costa. Not that i want him to leave in the slightest, but if we get £35m for him and reinvest it we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's whether we're better than Newcastle, QPR, Hull and Southampton that will define whether we have a really good season (e.g. 8th/9th). Or improve slightly and finish 13th. Would anyone disagree?

Hmm, well I was thinking and Sandro, Fer and Mutch is a pretty good midfield 3. Very compact and reliable imo. They also have Caulker and Isla who are very good players. I don't know I just see them being fine this season, especially as they will 100% get Defoe in January and he will score goals. Who knows!

He was bang in form at the time. Apart from missing that sitter/miss kick that would've made it 2-2 at Old Trafford. Still I reckon he is the best striker ability wise I've ever seen at Villa and that includes Dwight Yorke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 hope big fella is back soon..... however, whenever I look at zoggy playing this season and the lack of pace he is showing following his comeback from the same injury, I temper that enthusiasm with the harsh reality that what we are going to see for the first few games is a big frustrated guy trying his damnedest to do things that came naturally to him six months ago and finding himself unable to do so... the frustration of nzogbia is clear, although hopefully we'll see a steady return of pace and match fitness with each game played.... when he's back playing for us is still an early stage in rebuilding the player that destroyed defences not long ago..... (same goes for Okore as well, unfortunately) UTV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
