I think fans will be patent with him. I remember Angal taking time to adjust and didn't get much stick.
To be honest he looks like a cross between Benteke and Carew.
I think this club has some big intentions
Got to be a very good reason behind a 5 year deal...
Well, the fee is quoted at being 22m, which I would presume is over 5 years, just over 4mil from this year's budget. If he has a good season then he’ll still have 4 years as a bargaining tool for resale.
I know nothing about him, then I hadn’t heard of Benteke, and that worked out well.
I hope he’s better than the YouTube vids, which usually make all players look like Messi, surprisingly poor in the air for such a big lad.
Wish him well.
I would rather a forward who can use his feet, Tammy and Rudi great in the air but a bit Bambi....
We have now got to think 22million in the prem aint no big deal....
One thing for sure is that we need a premiership team to stand any chance of survival.
Too true Dave, apart from the heading bit. Let’s hope we continue to recruit and dispatch players in the same unsentimental and professional way.
Whilst I totally appreciate the efforts of last season’s squad, they aren’t a Premier League squad.
They were all signed to do one thing, and one thing only, to win promotion.
Thanks lads and here’s your promotion bonuses. Forever heroes, TTFN.
On Butland, well he’s better than what we have, best (English) keeper out there imo, better than that headless loony at Everton.
Still need a goalscorer, 2 mids and 2 CHs.
Jack Butland is coming.
But shhhh
You didn't hear it from me
Wheres Mings the Merciless????
Deadline day is 1st Sept, he will need a pre-season with us.
Anyway, had a sneaky look on villa club store and MtM is modelling some of our retro kits, do you think a deal has already been struck?
