Nicklas Helenius

[manic-road]

Welcome Nicklas

[levico]

Gotta say, I do like the way Lambert does business. He must be well served by scouts in Europe. If only 3 out of the 4 signings work out well it will be very good business. Lerner must be really happy with this approach.

[ozzjim]

If 3 of 5 come off this window it will a good hit rate in fairness. So far, only Bowery and KEA have not really contributed a lot. Dawkins excluded due to being as close to a trial as you could ever wish a loan to look.

[achilles]

Welcome Nicklas to the greatest club in the world!

[sonlyme]

In the lands of the North, where the Black Rocks stand guard against the cold sea, in the dark night that is very long the Men of the Northlands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale ... and those tales they tell are the stories of a kind and wise king and his people; they are the Sagas of Nicka the Nog.

Ibrahimovic mark II according to the mighty Kent.

Welcome - and prosper great Dane.

I like what I am seeing and hearing about this lad. He will be a great outlet when we need to rest Benteke and maybe even play them together as he looks like he has very good feet. Not moaning but would of liked to see a second CB with aerial power alongside Okore. But who knows its only June. And perhaps Vlaar will get some valuable pre season work in to improve on winning aerial battles .....

Welcome Nicklas Helenius.
I never saw this one coming. "Ducks, trying to avoid the guaranteed abuse and sarcy remarks about being ITK. Stands up again, not really giving a shite."

[JJ-AV]

I've just seen his interview on Sky Sports News. He's a very confident lad isn't he?

[gervilla]

Welcome Nicklas.
19 league goals is the norm around these parts for the first season.
No pressure and best of luck .

What did he say?

Yep could draw comparisons to another Danish striker called Nicklas...

Welcome Mount Helenius anyway. Reading what the Danish journo said looks like we have another Peter Crouch good touch for a big man striker in our ranks.

[eamonn]

If he's half as good as his lanky predecessors, Crouching Tiger and Paranoid Ormondroyd he'll be a bit shit, so hopefully he's as good as them.

If he bumps into Zigic at Solihull Asda and they come to blows over the last salmon fillet who will you have your money on?

Welcome Helenius of Acropolis. Long may you reign.

[walsall villain]

Well one lanky predecessor was John Carew who is the same height as young Nicklas. Another 'John Carew' at his best would be good.

[Ian.]

Four signings already. Another player I have not heard of again to be honest, but Lambert and his scouts seem to know a good player when they see one.

Welcome to Villa big man.

There was quite a good article recently that described how Benteke and Lukaku had learnt to play together with benteke dropping deeper.  I see no reason to do this immediately but it's an option to add to the numerous other.
