Welcome Kozak, who loves ya baby!

[frank black]

Welcome Libor.  Here's hoping you do scandalously well.

Rolls eyes..........lambert rates him.......rolls eyes at self

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Welcome Mr Kozak!
I look forward to you making a good impression upon Messrs Terry, Ferdinand, Kompany, Olsson etc!

Welcome to villa libor,speaks decent english too which is a bonus.
Lambert seems really happy to get him so a good day indeed with bannan and Ireland gone.

[Matt C]

Didn't expect a striker but no reason to doubt Lambert, gives us more depth, more options. For the first time in a long while a couple of injuries won't mean us having to change half the team around to accommodate.

Try this for optimistic. He reminds me of a young Big John.

If he was fit and actually applied himself he would not have been playing for us.

This one is younger and hungrier to prove a point. Sounds a good punt to me.

Thought number two. This lad might be a menace on set pieces. Both scoring and defending.

Perhaps I have gone a bit overboard in trusting Lambert but you never know.

[TheSandman]

Welcome Libor.

I know nothing of him, but it really does seem like Lambert has seen something in him from the comments.

Has any club ever had 3 such big units to choose from up front and yet played so much football rather than rely on predictable hoofing?

Thing is I wouldn't say Helenius is a 'big unit', he's tall but he's pretty wiry.

Lambert said in interview that this signing would ease some of the pressure on Benteke (which will only grow and grow with the media attention here and in Belgium leading up to the WC), so another option up top can only really be seen as a good thing. I saw him once for Lazio in the Europa League last season and didn't think much - but he went on to be the top scorer in the competition so who am I to judge. Another international who has something to prove to get on the plane to Rio next summer, hopefully he'll take his chances when called upon and enable us to make a run in the cups, while putting less pressure on our first XI, which should realistically be our goal this year. Welcome aboard!

[PeterWithesShin]

You know what I mean though.

Surprisingly strong though, I thought. I remember watching the Rotherham defenders trying to muscle him off the ball. They couldn't get near him.

[Mister E]

I don't know anything about him but, if he understudied Miroslav Klose, that makes for an interesting addition.
Let's hope so.

3 forwards over 6ft 3"

Put them on together and you never know we might score from a bloody corner!!

[timeoutbigbar]

So what was the fee or do we not know? (hoping someone will save me from trawling through previous pages).
