Jordan Rhodes instead of Gestede?
Quote from: mattjpa on September 21, 2015, 10:03:43 AMI remember reading a similar view about Benteke from fans of his former club - Blew hot and cold, was lazy and not interested, poor touch etc. He turned out to be (in my opinion) the best attacking player ive ever seen at Villa Park. Gestede and Ayew both look off the pace at the moment but lets give them a chance. We also need to develop play to work to their strengths. Benteke now looks rubbish at Liverpool every time I see him play and id imagine there are probably similar threads on their forums (overhead worldie aside!)You can usually tell within minutes as to whether a play has got 'it' or not. By way of example, I was so underwhelmed when we signed Withe, but seeing him play his first home you could instantly see he had what was needed.In my opinion Gestede and Ayew are never going to amount to anything. They are not off the pace, unfortunately they are not good enough. There's no pint in trying to get a team built around them.The option we should be trying is Kozak. He has got something.

I take your point about the strikers you mention looking good at one club and less so at others - therefore performance is influenced by a number of factors apart from straightforward ability.But I really can't seen nothing from Ayew or Gestede that gives me any hope.
Ayew looked worse than Agbonlahor when he played, which is some going.

It is evident that not only have we not signed a forward capable of scoring a few, we also haven't signed any goal scoring midfielders or any that create a sufficient number of chances for others.No doubt we have an improved squad upon last season, but the goal scoring problem is as evident as it ever was.I suppose the signing of sinclair and his 5 goals doesn't count.

The manager didn't buy the players paddy reilly bought the players the same man whos been dishing all the 5 year contracts out. The sooner he is found out and we get rid of the better. The same man who left Liverpool with all the crap they are still trying to get rid of . The same man who signed sissoko not once but twice.
