Rudy Gestede - GONE

[paul_e]

Black people always gotta look like somebody.*

*kisses teeth.

It's not just black people, look at the number of 'guys with beards' that Crespo is apparently the spitting image of. Worse still someone compared Veretout to Craig Gardner, that's just a kick in the balls for our new signing.

[Jimbo]

Person in people look like other people shocker.

My mate is a Rovers fan and he is gutted and says we have a hell of a player, I suppose he would say that, but I was really impressed when Rovers played at Anfield last year, he looks a handful.

Welcome to Villa Park Rudy.

Well said Darren. I am also happy about this. How do you feel about Adebayor? I hope  he stays where he is.

[Summers]

I reckon he'll reach double figures this season.

[warleyboy]

This is the player I am most excited about, I really think he will be our best buy.
Can see him hurting some teams and scoring for fun.

[LeeB]

I reckon he'll be a raving success and we'll watch on with glee whilst Liverpool turn Benteke into a square peg.

[SamTheMouse]

Cracking stuff. We're doing some really good business this summer!

[OCD]

It would be pretty funny if when we play Liverpool, they can't get him into the game because of a conflict of styles while they can't handle Gestede and we run over them.

Has anyone stuck this slice of Jameson-love up yet?

[Breezeblock]

He reminds me of Zack De La Rocha of "Rage Against The Machine" fame

We like big number 9's who can terrorise opposition centre halves and rough them up a bit. 

This guy looks like he should be able to deliver on that front.

I am a wee bit concerned that he's 26 (27 in October) and moved as recently as January 2014 for £200k.  Not a veteran, but he's hardly a promising young player either.

That said, some players do develop later than others.

Cant think of any?

Peter Withe was a bit of a journeyman when he went to Forest and was a spent force according to many when Villa bought him from Newcastle.

Hope this one proves to be right.
