Rudy Gestede - GONE

[Drummond]

Hmmm...

Jordan Ayew to the tune of Joe Le Taxi...

[ozzjim]

Just watched his goals from last season. Likes a volley, and a genuine beast in the air. I think he is going to be just grand.

[Matt Collins]

I do think he'll do well with the right service. We're a bit lacking in the wide areas at the moment though and he's going to depend a lot on crosses

[ozzjim]

Yeah as I said on the transfer thread I would like to see a winger come in before the deadline now.

[olaftab]

He can bully CB's in the air as well so could be real handful.

[pauliewalnuts]

Fuck.

I'm almost looking forward to next season.

Half of the fun will be trying to realise who is who and hearing Brummie versions of their surnames

"Guess-Ted"
"Hey-you"

Looked an absolute beast in a couple of Cup games I saw him in last year. Surprised that we have brought him in with Ayew and Adebayor. Adebayor and Gestede are similar types of players, would have thought we would sign one but not both, don't understand the logic there. Not sure Adebayor being backup is a good idea but delighted to have Gestede on board. Late developer it seems but I think he will flourish for us.

To be fair Gestede, Adebayor, Ayew do look a stronger trio than Benteke, Bent and Weimann. Gabby, Kozak and Nzogbia look surplus to requirements now too.

Not sure if it means we will be going with two up top, looks more we would be best suited to 4231.
----Sanchez, Gueye
Ayew, Veretout, Grealish
------Gestede-----

Gil, Westwood, Adebayor, Bacuna, Gabby, Kozak in reserve. We do seem much stronger this season

I think everything so far points to kozak starting V Bournemouth. The gestede/Adebayor deals not being done and kozak starting and looking good in the recent friendlies.

I hope so, I've put him in my dream team for that match!

[mr underhill]

if Gestede's on board he'll play. I hope the other one never gets on board but even if he does he definitely won't play because he isn't fit enough after months out

If Kozak carries his impressive form into the Forest game he should start against Bournemouth.A front two of Kozak and Gestede would be most acceptable.Adebayor is a liability with his lack of fitness and that's if he signs.

Gestede and Kozak would lack mobility.  Also I think they'd occupy the same spaces and neither would support the midfield. 
I hope Sherwood is not using the Sutton/Shearer "SAS" team as his blueprint for his tactics (I think he was CM, so there is a chance...).

Personally think Adebayor will start with Gestede coming in here and there.

[Matt Collins]

Kozak and gestede?
