SikhInTrinity Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Does anyone know how many of his Serie A games last season he actually started? Had a quick look out of the 18 games, he was a sub in those 14 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't know anything about this guy, but by the sounds of it he is a big brute of a player. We may be looking to play the two big forwards up front, in a similar fashion to the Shearer/Sutton partnership of yester-year, and that It may allow an alternative option to the current front three that we use, and will give a slightly different game plan. I guess that gameplan could be described as a battering ram style to use against teams that defend deep. That may be harsh on the guy, as he may be technically sound like Benteke for all I know. I guess he also would possibly rotate in our current system with Benteke, just in case Benteke gets injured or suspended. We all saw how people panicked when the rumours of Benteke having broken his leg surfaced on twitter. It seems a strange signing, but we don't know all of the stuff going on behind the scenes, or what Lambert is hoping to achieve with this signing. I shall reserve judgement for now as I don't know enough to make any informed opinion on the fella, although I am slightly perplexed by the signing, and I'm not sure yet how this signing will "make a difference", which is what I think the quote was from the other day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absurdly big faith in Lambert and his scouting system. I'm sure he sees something in this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 i think we will be after a CM to supply this fella and the other strikers. We enquired about so many midfielders it seems and noone has arrived. Popov and Kiyotake were confirmed. Rumours of Fisher Ince as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Carlsen Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks for posting the info you have, HH. Appreciated! Apologies if you have already answered this previously. But is it right to understand your posts as saying Kozak is the only deal we will make before the deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgo Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks HH good post. Do you see this as the only incoming? In other words can I get on with my day? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I want Ince and Milner. Than we can challenge for the title this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 So I guess im gonna prey Tonev will be that person, even though I heavily doubt he is something that will be a game changing player this season, and I sort of feel that is the problem.

Shillzz Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I do want an ACM, but at the moment I have a lot of faith in KEA, Westwood and Delph. Add to that the promise of Sylla and i'm not overly concerned about our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Carlsen Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Understand the perspective of "what if benteke gets injuried" etc (AND that kozak isn't necessarily a "back up"). But what if Westwood can't play for a few months, who's gonna dictate play and drill passes? Still think we need another midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke is the focal point of our play, its harder to replace him than anyone else in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
