AndyBM Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 i dont agree with playing 4 strikers, but if kozak is able to drop into midfield a little i cant see it not working, either way, this can only be positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Welcome to the Villa, Libor. Go and knock a few of those big centre backs around and then let Benteke take advantage of the damage caused and stick the ball in the net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The way I see this is we now have two potential options to replace tekkers next season (helenius & this guy) with each having a full season to get up to speed with the prem before being thrown in at the deep end next August, hopefully one or both will prove to be worthy and it means we don't have to panic spend x amount of the forty odd million we'll get in the summer. Could be extremely shrewd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I have a feeling this guy will be a huge hit with the villa faithful Not the women though he's one ugly fella (I care not btw) We've never really had nice looking players looooool.

Big_John_10 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It's going to be interesting what Lambert does. I just can't see him spending around £5 million (which is a lot compared to other signings) and chasing him all summer if he was simply back up. I don't know how it will work or what system we will go with but I'm pretty excited. If we did go with that attacking 4 surely Westwood would lose out to Sylla or KEA in those games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avflife Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Kozak actually has a better than 1 goal every 2 games ratio in all comps if you assume sub appearances average at 20 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think Kozak will be a good option at home. Benteke can pick it up a little deeper and he's a threat from outside, pulling defenders out of position to overcompensate for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 From reports it sounds like he is can bully defenders and they don't like playing against him. Lambert seems to like an aggressive centre forward as he had Holt at Norwich who is just a thug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesDiablesRouges Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) I think too many of you are thinking too narrowly about transfers and thinking too short term. My impression is that Lambert signed Kozak because he fit a variety of needs both short term and long term: Cover for Benteke this year, option of playing 4-4-2, 4-3-1-2, substitute for Benteke to keep his minutes down, chance to break him in before becoming the top striker assuming Benteke leaves. I also think that Lambert sees him as someone who could be bought in the 5 million pound range who if he comes good could incread to 10+ million player. If Villa is able to manage a EL spot then perhaps Benteke stays and much more money is available to spend on improving the squad. If you look at the top squads they have a top striker and a fairly expensive back-up (or 2-3 backups). If Benteke leaves you have a striker and then you can go after 5-7 other players or more to fill in with talent and depth. The other thing we don't know re: AMs this window is if there were any a that Lambert liked and fit within the money available. Whereas next summer transfer window if Benteke leaves and Villa gets say 40-50 million pounds there might be someone Lambert could get that he really likes but wasn't available for 2-3 million pounds but rather 7-9 million. I like this move because it's a move from a position of strength and Lambert is getting someone he really likes and thinks has a bright future and it helps alleviate the potential problem of not having a striker who is familiar with Villa who might take 1/4 of the PL season to get adjusted to his teammates. Is it a risk? Sure, but any more worth a salt has risk and Villa can't get to where it wants to by playing things ultra safe.
