I suppose it’s only to be expected really, it’s like having a Fiat Punto on your drive and your neighbour having a drive full of Rollers and Bentleys. Yeah I know what you mean, the amount I pay in council tax I shouldn’t have to look out my window at a Punto! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big billy downer post like that. Come on Wook! As has been posted, should be OK as shown on previous pages. I also don't think the club would have released it unless they were very confident. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) On the Aston Villa Facebook post about signing Wesley, crazy to see how many Brugge fans are on there waxing lyrical about him and wishing him well. Also saying aside from being a great player with huge potential, he is a great guy! One of the characteristics Smith et al constantly highlight we want. Very good signs.

If he works as hard as Tammy did on the pitch, we'll have no problems. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicVillan Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hard to tell from a few video clips but he looks very promising, I loved having Tammy last season, worked his socks off and really bought into the club but it looks like Wesley can score different types of goals and chip in with more assists as well We may end up with more goals spread around the team than if we had been able to sign Tammy with Wesley's style of play.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted June 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2019 On topic, love the prospect of this and how it has come out completely out of the blue! Let’s just hope work permit and international clearance are not a problem, though I suspect if there was any real doubt, they wouldn’t have announced it.

Keener window-cleaner Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Did we just buy a £22m Brazilian striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 23 pages in one day is a good start! I like the fact we have smashed our record signing without battering an eyelid and it's still only June. It shows that the boys mean business this window.

ThunderPower_14 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Looking at his highlights, he looks a really well rounded striker. Strong and powerful, can get on the end of the cross, appears to be a bit of a poacher around the 6 yard box, and is comfortable with the ball at his feet as well. Very exciting signing!

JohnStortford Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 From what I've read he's more of a target man who brings others into play than a goalscorer, similar to current day Olivier Giroud. I'm not expecting a double digit goal tally but if he has the same impact Raul Jiminez has had for Wolves I'll be over the moon with this signing.

Jimmyg Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I’m finding I hard to get excited cause it’s come out of the blue and I know k’all about him.... but if I knew nothing about him and we were linked and teased with him for a month I’d really want him and think it was the nuts. All reports seem good tho... looking forward to see him action and more importantly who he may be lining up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely we had been looking at him as far back as when we made a charge for the playoffs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 According to the con heatmaps on the birmingham mail website he doesn't play as advanced up the pitch as Abraham does. I think we will defo need another striker, Maupay would be ideal he's a threat in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
