7392craig Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think kozak would be a great player if he could string a few games together. Given we're without Bentekkers for some time, I'd find it interesting to see Gabby play up top with him. I know Gabby had a poor season but he was out wide, up top he's played great for us in the past, he's a top cf on his day but just a workhorse anywhere else on the pitch.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 looks too lumbering for me....like to see sharpness in the box. I wasn't a massive fan, I thought his general awareness and ability as a line leader left a lot to be desired. But put the back in the box and he's as sharp as anyone at the club for me. That was the one thing he was good at. Take that away from him and there's not a lot left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjames333 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I like Kozak and look forward to his return. Is a limited footballer but never let us down, always gives his all, takes his chances in the box, loves a celebration with the fans.Could be vital for us this season if we find ourselves in a scrap, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 He was injured at exactly the wrong time, just had started a nice little run of games but it was still too early to make any real judgment on him. I thought he was just starting to show signs of linking up with Weimann just before his injury. I look forward to his return. Has anyone heard anything on a return date for him?

villan_007 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Scores goals, is a handful and really connects with the fans. Looking forward to his return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 as said earlier he seems more John Carew than Christian Benteke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I thought he looked too gangly when we signed him, but looks are deceiving. He's sharp as **** in the box and with better supply could be a 15+ goal a year player. Not a Benteke, but definitely has his own merits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Takes his chances but very limited outside the box. Don't think he's the right player to succeed as a lone striker at this level but could work with a strike partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 As long as he comes back strong from his injury he'll be ok for us. I'm just a little concerned that his confidence could have taken a knock, broken legs can have an effect on some players mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 When is he expected back from injury ???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just watched one of the AVTV features of the Dallas trip so far and near the end they showed Kozak in traning, so that is a good sign. Hopefully involved soon rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Having trouble uploading a photo in the app. He is off the side in training, but he looks good. Would not be surprised if he was ready for the first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well on 9th July the OS said he was in "light training" so if he's ready for the first match that will be quite an achievement for our physio/fitness staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The training he was doing today was not light. They were putting him through the paces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightysasquatch Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 He's one of those forwards who come alive in the box, playing between the width of the goal posts. He isn't going to be a full on target man ect, if anything his touches in the box are better than his heading. I actually think we have a good player on our hands with him & will always give you a shift even if the games not going his way. Would be great with either gabby/Weimann as a forward two.

Rob182 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I imagine light training is a good step further than rehabilitation, so though he might not be ready for the first game, a month or so into the season, he might be ready to make a few appearances.
