VillaChris Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Need to send him to a bootcamp or on that SAS survival programme. for three weeks. Would love to know what sort of training schedule he was on during lockdown as it looks pretty non-existant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African players when coming to England struggle on many levels. A proper pre season improvement in language skills and a better fitness regime will see him improve. Add to that he will learn more about the way that Dean Smith wants him to play. Hardly been 6 months. Unless he was playing during the enforced postponement of the league.

A 4 week rest to get his head straight and train with the squad should see him alright. I would want 2 better forwards coming in in the next 4 to 6 weeks though and keep samatta as a sub. 4 week rest. Doesn’t season start in 7 weeks?

He won't be playing, he will be resting and he will be training with the squad. He's just had 3 months off. I would imagine a week or maybe 2 holidays then back into training or a 3 day training week for a few weeks then full time training.

Farlz Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 He's been extremely bad since the restart however I definitely wouldn't be looking to sell him and neither will the club I'd imagine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Genuinely one of the worst strikers we've had in the PL era. I cant believe people are saying "give him time". If we've learned nothing else this season, time is something you dont have in this league. He is 27, he isnt getting any better. Whether he has talent or not is irrelevant. He's been appalling for us and needs to be shipped out immediately. Btw, in his last 15 league games for Genk he scored 2 goals. A complete dud signing.

Stevo985 Posted July 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2020 I appreciate him coming in and his effort. But he's clearly not good enough. I'd send him out on loan or sell him. If we're regularly giving him games next season then we've had an awful summer of recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellbergsBeard Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It takes players a bit of time to get used too a new country, league, etc. For me I have not seen a glimmer of hope I him since he signed, hopefully there is a player we fancy in Turkey because that looks like Where the interest in him will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was o.k v Leicester in cup, scored at Bournemouth on his league debut, thought he was excellent in first half v Spurs linking up with Grealish and then a well taken goal in the cup final. Form has completely fallen off a cliff since restart which has really disappointed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
