MessiWillSignForVilla Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hopefully be a very useful signing. Options, options, options! Is it really options though, or is this just Benteke's replacement being signed a year early? It probably is, but I'd rather get his replacement now and give him time to settle than try get one after we get our £50m+ from Real Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 To me limited funding equates to buying the players you need to enhance the first team and not to sit on the bench. Remember when we had half the team wearing nappies under Houllier? It wasn't pretty We've complained often enough about squad depth, now we're finally getting there, you think its wrong but not only that you think we should buy a particular type of player, we don't currently use That is just very odd logic Squad depth is fine with ample funding to do it with but we had that with MON with how many players not getting a game. I just think that limited funding should have been spent elsewhere to improve the 1st team particularly in midfield but the player has signed and i hope Lambert will find a way to incorporate both Kozak and Benteke upfront considering the mooted transfer fee.

StefanAVFC Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I just wonder where this leaves Helenius ? In exactly the same place as he was before. As a support striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 "Libor has an unbelievable scoring record in the Europa League, incredible really. He wasn't given much opportunity for Lazio in Serie A but he showed proper potential in leading the line there at a strong club with a great tradition and we need somebody like him as we only have Christian Benteke really as a main target man. "He'll take that burden off Christian and he'll add greatly to what we've got, with the likes of Nicklas Helenius, who's a different type of player, Gabby Agonlahor, Aleks Tonev and Andi Weimann in that area of the pitch where we can hurt teams. Libor's powerful, too, and I'm looking forward to working with him. We needed to bring in someone like Libor to help the overall philosophy to work. "It's a matter of him now integrating with the group, which he'll do. We've brought in seven players this summer and we're trying to build the squad. It's getting there, no doubt about that and we'll keep building it." Pretty clear he's our backup out-and-out target man. Helenius has a different role in the team.

The Fun Factory Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Wecolme Libor. Another young hungry player to add to the mix. As for people saying he cost a xx amount and why we didnt get a different player in, it is all about wages. Kozak is probably on not that much, and this is a big chance for the lad to prove himself in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Pleased to have him here but the fee puzzles me Supposed limited funds and we spend 7m on a striker who will play second fiddle to tekkers IMO that sum should have gone towards an AM but obviously Lambert believes another striker is more important and fills a bigger part of the jigsaw at the moment Mmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Lambert is the manager FFS. He has more of an idea of what the team needs than we do. Also, welcome Libor Don't remember that attitude under Mcleish. Happy with this signing. He must have big plans for him if he's been working on this all summer. Yeah I wonder why? FFS it's like I'm not allowed to judge managers based on their ability with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Welcome, a pleasant surprise as I wasnt expecting any signings today! Think Bowery will be on his way soon as lambert doesn't even mention him as one of our attacking players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
