Imagine the extra shirt sales and other merchandise opportunities, maybe AVTV subscribers. With him, Marvellous and Trez we have covered ourselves for FFP for the next 5 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all for his great personality and for the nostalgia of his important goals that made us champion last season. When Benteke left for quite some amount of money at that time, I remember several Genk fans saying they 'would bring him personally with a wheelbarrow'. Mainly because -despite you could see Benteke's potential- he still missed a lot of chances and never had the impact on our club like Samatta had. Sama is more moving, dynamic and creating 'chaos' in a defence while Benteke was more the powerful tall guy you could pass a ball and he'd hold it as long as needed. So personally Samagoal>Benteke on all aspects. Thanks mate. Really excited by this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Very happy with this! Can't remember the last time there was so much feel good feeling about a signing! So now everyone in Tanzania is a Villa supporter, I wonder how many of the 57 million will register on VillaTalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope he will have the same impact at Aston Villa. If he does, please make sure to keep this tradition going, will you?

Wonder if the commercial aspect played a part in us wanting to sign him? That's a huge untapped fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Welcome Ally......... I said earlier in the thread not overly impressed or disappointed with this one it's definitely a one eye on the Championship type signing, looks to have had one very good season at Genk with 20 goals in 28 appearances apart from that doesn't get in to double figures (in a European league) so I hope we as Villa fans don't pin our hopes on him then absolutely berate him when it doesn't happen...............reality check he cost less than half Wesley did! At least we'll have a recognised striker playing, now just need some decent winger to service him. Edited January 20, 2020 by zab6359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AntrimBlack Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 I like this guy. Hope he does well. On a side note - is Woodward really the best we can get. He is a shit interviewer. Always the same inane questions. And he poses the questions in such a way that the interviewee can only repeat the question as his response. He is an embarrassment. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it would be nice if he isn’t berated for not being Messi, but just to point out he is in double figures for this season already... (assuming we count the Champions League, and as that included scoring against Liverpool I’m counting it!). Not sure I agree about the eye on the Championship - he looks to have the ingredients for PL. But I do agree he’d hopefully do very well in the Championship if we do slip.

That is just impossible to predict after watching a couple of youtube vids, I hope he is PL quality we'll find out soon enough 7 league goals this season in the Belgium league? As I say we'll see. Just not fair to slaughter him if he isn't prolific, I'd hazard a guess unless it really is a one eye on the Championship type signing another better quality striker is on the way soon depends on the clubs ambitions for this season.
