Rudy Gestede - GONE

[MalcolmP]

Just announced on sky sports that weve accepted a £6m bid and it will be finalised tomorrow, We've done well to get our money back on him, Rudy has done fucking amazing to get a premier League club to give him another go.

bonkers really, thought he would be a great signing for us at the time but he was as limited as anyone I can recall for us

never looked like reproducing his Blackburn form at all

Boro have signed three of our donkeys from last season

Officially confirmed that he has signed for Boro

Gestede and Guzan. Yeesh!

[Richard E]

Goodbye and good luck Rudy, thank you for being responsible for two of the rare highlights of last season.

lovely bloke, but footballing mediocracy. Maybe Boro's master plan is to reunite Rudy and Jordan.

[Leicester_Villian]

The important question now tho who becomes the translator?

i assume you mean mediocrity...

but the modern day aston villa football club would be a textbook footballing mediocracy.

Never fear, we can all wish him happy birthday in years to come just like the official villa Facebook page is inviting us to do to James Milner today (cringe).

Must be a replacement lined up.

Bruce has bought a wardrobe from DFS.

Gestede was a useful option coming off the bench late in the game. With him sold and Kodjia unavailable for 3 plus weeks it leaves the forward options much weaker. I'd hope Bruce has a forward lined up to join rapidly.

Perhaps Milner is coming back...

Maybe with Amavi going the other way....?

[PaulWinch again]

Tried hard, but not very good. We need a replacement though to give us some options.

Nurse!

[Nunkin1965]

I'll wish the guy all the best and hope the move works out for him. If he starts scoring for boro then we're just cursed and thats the end of it.

[Lobsterboy]

Seems a nice enough fella and did his best to help the community supporting homeless charities and so on but less than a 1 in 5 strike rate supports the view that we either rarely played to his strengths or he simply wasn't very good

The truth probably lies somewhere in between the two - goodbye and good luck Rudy

[sirlordbaltimore]

Good bloke, very average footballer with worrying lack of movement

That said, give him quality crosses and who knows what he could do. Just remembered they've got Traore supplying the crosses.

Bad luck Rudy!
