chuck him out on loan to a championship club maybe, see how he gets on.

I have to say I support my fellow Salopian (well I have lived here over 22 years!), DrGonzo, on this one. Bowery was attacking the Holte End in front of where I sit in the Lower Witton Lane Stand in the second-half on Saturday, before he was subbed, and I was extremely impressed - in fact he did not put a foot wrong. He is a powerful athlete and has a great turn of speed from a standing start. Despite being a big fan of Gabby I was actually disappointed when he went off as I wanted to see more of him.

He got a great ovation as he went off. I think his efforts were appreciated throughout the crowd.

You have to think that it's pretty much curtains for Delfouneso at the Villa now.

I'm not writing him off but his record at Chesterfield over five seasons was worse than Heskey's record at every club bar the Villa.

If he struggled to score goals in the 4th division, it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that he can do it in the Premier League.

5 years ago he was 16.

5 years ago he was 16.

And by the time Heskey was Bowery's age he'd scored 33 goals, 26 of which were in the top flight.  What's your point?

Yet, Heskey went on to be utter shite during what should've been his prime.

I think his goals/starts ratio in the last two seasons is actually pretty good - almost 1 in 2 I think.

My point exactly.

[seanthevillan]

Ok I checked and its more like 1 in 3, but still not as bad as some are making out.

[London Villan]

He already looks much better value for money than the Australian based goal machine.

Where have you got those stats from because the fountain of truth that is Wikipedia says he's scored 9 league goals in 67 appearances in the past two seasons, or 1 in 7.5 games.

Well they only have appearances in total, not starts/subs divided. I looked at them on the old Chesterfield site originally, and they divided up the seasons. Here you can find better stats but not divided into separate seasons - I think he scored virtually all of his goals last season.
