Biskitt Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He's always reminded me of the Ligue 1's equivalent of Kenwyne Jones, has all the physical attributes but not necessarily the footballing ability. Not overly keen if I'm honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Is his actual nickname Baby Drogba? Or is that something the Sun made up about 10 minutes before publishing the article? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Never really liked him, whilst he has improved over the years he is actually very average. Would not be a replacement for Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've always found him hideously ugly. Being a hetero man I normally take no consideration of players' looks when they join but he used to make my stomach turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's best to just give in early. Oh well, back to debating school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 another link to not take seriously then? do any of you guys remember a few seasons ago when buying a 27 yr old was considered to an extent, buying a young player, lol how times have changed and glad theyre behind us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The Sun did manage to get one of our signings right this season? Who was it again? Tonev. They were also in on Vlaar last summer so probably have an ITK at Villa. This bloke has been linked with prem clubs for years. 1 in 3 record in the French league doesn't strike me as someone who'll get close to 20 goals in the premier league.

Phumfeinz Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Get French Football @GFN_France8m Jean Michel Aulas has confirmed our reports that Lyon are talking to Newcastle and Aston Villa for Bafetimbi Gomis. #OL #AVFC #NUFC Jean Michel Aulas is the owner of Lyon.

abdomlahor Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I was always under the impression that he had his best years at Saint Etienne. But looking on Wikipedia, he's maintained a good goalscoring record at Lyon as well. 25 in all comps season before last, and 20 this past one. That's pretty damned prolific.

AshVilla Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We could probably get Remy for similar money thats being quoted I'd rather have him tbh plus he's already proven that he can score goals in the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Looked a good player at St Etienne but don't think he's been that great at Lyon ? According to google, he's on €3.84m euros a year which is €66k a week which might be out of our price range. Got 20 goals in 40 game last season though so my "French Kenwyne Jones" comment might have been a tad harsh Edited July 18, 2013 by Biskitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
