Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted December 5, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2019 We also need to remember that £22m is bugger all for a striker these days. At has been for a number of years. Has he been worth £22m so far? Not for me. But we need a striker who is worth more than £22m. Kelechi Iheanacho and Moise Kean cost £25m each and you'd be hard pressed to say either of them have been better than Wesley this season. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of regular starters, his passing and pass completion stats are right down there. He is one of if not the worst player at keeping the ball. Yet he is being praised for keeping things simple? He doesn't get involved and he doesn't pose a threat. He occupies space. I'm pretty sure most strikers could do the same.

Even Van Persie at Arsenal!! This stuff happens even a 22 yr old Brazilian striker that came from Belgium. Wes just needs time... Trust Me!! He's improving all the time.He's never going to be a natural goalscorer.. ever..... this is part of the problem but he can certainly give us additional options once got used to Premiership. Its bad anyone write him off so soon. He has the talent. We needed in summer to replace Tammy permanently and we didn't.. .Tammy was a big part in our style of play under Deano.. but Wes has good potential though. This is where we are at in my opinion currently. Natural scorer in Jan please Villa. Villan4Life, who, in your professional opinion as a scout for talent, would you consider the right kind of natural scorer that Villa could possibly get?

Not sure why you have decided to jump on my post and make it seem I was claiming to be THE voice for Wesley supporters ffs. Kindly piss off mate. Someone needs to tell this clown to stop making "excuses" as well. Dean Smith on Wesley: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-wesley-chelsea-smith-17365840 What a bunch of nonsense. He is growing? He's getting worse every week. There's no improvement in him since he came in the door at Bodymoore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got to get in a solid replacement in January ASAP, and bench Wes. He should not play a single minute of football from January on unless we absolutely have to. This football management sounds so easy.

Haller, Kean, Cutrone, Joelinton, Maupay cost over 100 million between them and neither have more goals than him. Throw in Martial, King, Jota as well who have less goals I genuinely dont know what people are expecting, 22 million doesnt get you a top striker anymore 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not stat wise have done better, but they are much better players. And that's the thing. You can see the potential in most expensive strikers. Wesley's potential looks to be a future bouncer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm undecided on him still personally but I wouldn't write him off entirely, although I did think he should have come off last night with 20/30 minutes left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Feet Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 3 minutes ago, AVTuco said: Thank you. On a serious note. Maybe that is the problem, we need someone like Grant Holt.... to coach Wesley. In McGinn’s interview the other day he said the defenders go off with JT, the midfielders with Smith and the forwards with O’kelly, now I don’t know much about Richard O’Kellys playing career but I’m guessing he was a forward, but looking at the size of him I doubt he was a hold up type of player and can coach what they want Wesley to do in the same manor. Someone like Holt would be perfect to coach Big Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
