Rudy Gestede - GONE

[olaftab]

Good luck Rudy.

[Richard E]

Under Fox/Lerner we'd have loaned him to Boro while continuing to pay his wages and a free transfer option in the summer.

They could also send him back if crocked

[Bad English]

Was it Bournemouth when he smashed a header in for his first goal? That was about the last time I got excited about him.

Probably the last time we managed to cross a ball for him.

Boro are showing his four goals from this season on their site already. They didn't tag that 2 were v Rotherham. Still good finishes though to be fair.  Good luck to him anyway.

[Hampshire Villa]

good luck Rudy,

[brian green]

He and Adama will be a formidable combination.  Good luck to a good guy.

There's only so much you can do on the bench Brian. They are both limited one dimensional footballers in my opinion. But yes Rudy does come across a very nice guy.

You really sure Brian?

He and Adama will be a formidable combination.

Adama can hit crosses that go out for a throw in whilst Gestede slowly ambles towards the 18 yard box.

[Mister E]

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!

Even with a decent cross, he is woefully lacking in instinctive movement. At Elland Road we did actually put 2 or 3 very good crosses in but he seemed rooted to the spot.
Karanka will have to have a brilliant coaching staff to get a decent return, IMHO.

Nah

[SoccerHQ]

Good luck Rudy, hard worker and good man. It's a shame he could only head the ball.
Also a pity no manager played to his strength.

He was still very limited in his games even during that run.

I think we all got carried away with his debut goal and thought he'd do that most games for us....especially Sherwood who criminally decided there and then he was Benteke's replacement.

I saw him live v Sunderland fourth game and that's when the alarm bells started ringing as his link up play was non-existent which was strange as normally that's one of the strengths of a targetman.

He was a decent impact sub at times but never a starter and one of the reasons we went down as harsh as it sounds.

Only query is with the timing. We need a striker in for Wolves but don't seem to be linked with anyone atm.

This!! 4 goals in 11 games under Sherwood then no one crossed it for him for 40 plus games. Hope Boro play to his strength all the best Rudy!
