VillaChris Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He's hardly played any practice games though. I'd say he'd be in no shape whatsoever to start even a meaningless premier league game. Much rather he properly sorts himself out during the summer, has plenty of pre season games and he should be ready for start of next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Bring him on for the last five minutes. Give him a bit of a gee up before the close season. Give the fans chance to show their respect for his battle back from a horrible injury 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2015 Agree with Trinity. Give him 5 minutes just so he can share some of the love ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Siegrist came good on my old FM game. Why did Ciaran have to kill him? Why?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A lot of pressure on this guy to step up now if we lose Tekkers and struggle to replace him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think Tim will keep him and he will be a good squad player at least. Not sure if he is a starter, but we might not have a choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) He won't have the pressure, his replacement will. If Benteke goes I think there's more chance of me playing for Barca next season than us NOT signing striker.

VillaChris Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A lot of pressure on this guy to step up now if we lose Tekkers and struggle to replace him... That would be madness considering he hasn't played a league game since December 2013. As it stands I fully expect our strike options next season to be: Benteke/new signing Gabby Sinclair Kozak young striker on loan like maybe Bamford or Callum Robinson given a proper chance.

lexicon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So: Benteke/New signing Somebody clearly not good enough Somebody who isn't a striker Somebody who has barely played in 18 months Somebody who has almost no experience in the prem Doesn't fill me with confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're signing 3-4 new strikers this summer that's likely 30-40m. We don't have that and we need other areas of the team like the defence to rebuild. I'm hoping for more goals and creativity from midfield so that will hopefully balance out some of the goals we lose from Benteke if his replacement isn't very good.

We won't get Robinson on loan. I don't think we can really expect anything of Kozak so we have we have to prepare for the eventuality that we are really only going to have Gabby as an out and out striker next season so may need to sign two and try and get somone like Bamford on loan.

VillaChris Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It depends what formation Sherwood plays dosen't it, don't forget if we continue playing the two number 10s, it will be Grealish and another and Benteke/his replacement leading the line so if that's a regular one Gabby and Kozak as back up is fine I think. Switch back to 4-4-2 and yes we need a bit more depth upfront now Weimann is going. Sinclair will play but probably wide on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think keeping Benteke, letting Weimann and Gabby go and trying to get one guy to replace them, would work. We'll more than likely be playing with one guy up front next season, so we don't need 3-4 strikers. Tekkers, Kozak and Robinson might just do it actually.
