Pilchard Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I think offering nothing at all unless he was spoon fed four chances a match led to him being shown the door. Great move. And of course, the huge wages the bloke was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Just read an article claiming that he is looking forward to working "with" Benteke Perhaps 4-4-2 is on the cards after all Helenius also said that, or rather he was disappointed that he wouldn't get to work with Benteke when he handed in his transfer request, indicating it was a reason for him to join. I wouldn't read too much into it He's one of the hottest talents in Europe at the minute, I'd assume a lot of young, up and coming players would jump at the chance to join his team and just get to work with him in training, especially the strikers.

It's no co-incidence, that along with most of them being shit, the bomb squad also featured the highest earners.

Phumfeinz Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It may have been mentioned before but it's uncanny how many of these unknown players we've signed play for clubs who's shirts are made by Macron? Sure it's just a coincidence but for a relatively small player in the market, it's funny how often this has happened. Kozak and Lowton isn't it? 2 out of 15 isn't that much really.

BOF Posted September 5, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2013 He will be working with Benteke. Footballers train together a lot more than they play competitive football together. Their 'day job' will be on the same pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoughboroughLion Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Would some people argue that a Gabby, Benteke, Kozak triple attack would work? -------------- Teke --------------- --- Gabby ----------- Kozak --- I don't think that would work because Kozak is more of a 'target man' rather than an energetic wing type attacker that Weimann is. If this is the case, where would Kozak fit in other than a 442 with Benteke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case, where would Kozak fit in other than a 442 with Benteke? Kozak is slow and he doesn't do anything a winger should. Weimann can at least send in a cross and make good runs. Plus our front 3 have very good chemistry. Kozak is a direct replacement for Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 i hate any formation the consists of using 5 defenders, no matter where they are 'positioned', 4 defenders is enough only gabby and andi seem capable as being wing forwards, benteke, helenius, kozak and bowery do not, even though bowery has been put there before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that rules him out appearing in a system with Benteke, which either means he is being blooded for next season or he is just a bench warmer?

Avflife Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 4-4-2, with Benteke and Kozak up top and a midfield of Gabby, Westwood, Delph and Weimann. Attacking to say the least, hopefully PL doesn't do it against any of the better attacking sides in the Prem when we play at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkwingduck Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Who's going to score for us first? Kozak or Helenius? Kozak won't score in his first 6 games, but will score a brace in his seventh and go 1 in 2 from that point on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoridge91 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Czech Republic vs Armenia is at 5pm I think. Might watch that before the England game to see how he plays a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
