Didiersix Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Really gutted for him. Think he has acquitted himself really well whenever he has had to lead the line. Let's hope he comes back all the stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 3, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2014 Real shame that we will be without him for the rest of the season. Just hope we have no more injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Bad news for any player, regardless of form, ability or popularity. Get well soon Libor... So... does this mean we won't be selling Benteke to Arsenal this window now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The most worrying thing is if Lambert has to spend the rest of his budget on another striker, just when we are looking to add a bit of quality at the back or in the middle of the park.

Villarocker Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 We will miss his goals second half of the season. Helanius and Bowrey don't look capable of making the same contribution. But gabby, weimman and benteke are all capable of scoring a lot more than they currently have. John, they're capable of doing it but we're now relying on them to do it. I bet you, as well as most of the rest of us, have complained about the effort and lack of goal threat from Benteke and Weimann this season?! Fair enough, Gabby is on song at the moment but we all know that he plays in fits and starts. He could go the rest of the season without scoring and it wouldn't be too surprising to some. On top of this, we have to remember that Benteke and Gabby have been injured this season and losing either or both of them for a sustained period is also not out of the question. Kozak is no world beater but he's proven to get a goal or two already this season and I can't say the same about Weimann, Bowery or Helenius right now. That's what concerns me about this injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't 'have to' though. He has five strikers at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind-faith if I ever saw it...Every now and again I see posters in off topic that state they avoid the main section of the site due to posters who can start an argument in an empty house. Maybe if you have the gumption to re-read the posts you may understand that this has nothing to do with blind faith whatsoever, and maybe a lesson in the English language would help too - good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a moronic post. Despite us having five strikers available, you basic argument as to why we need to waste the little money we have on another one is because Lambert says so.

Pilchard Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Lambert's quotes make it sound pretty bad, I wonder if we are talking about a Luc Nilis situation? ‘Kozak has got a bad one,’ said Villa manager Paul Lambert. ‘It was a nothing challenge. It’s a massive blow. ‘I honestly thought it was just a clash of boots with Ciaran Clark. There was no noise from Libor. No-one thought anything of it. Then they saw it.’ Confirmed it was in a challenge with Chuckle Brother #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Important that Clark isn't made a scapegoat for this by anyone. Clark will be feeling bad enough as it is and I hope it doesn't affect his confidence on the pitch as we're going to need him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You argued that Lambert might 'have to' sign one just because Kozak is injured.I said it was worrying if he has to, which was based on quotes from the man himself, who surprisingly has the final say in these matters. Given I am worried that he seems to be going in this direction is hardly an argument for the case is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark has much improved this season and long may it continue. I hope it doesn't effect Clark mentally, as he can't be feeling to great about it.

Danishlad Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I broke a leg once. Not my fault though. Crazy challenge from the player and he ended up breaking his leg, slamming it on my knee. This is bad news, shame for Kozak. I suppose the whole team are upset about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
