lmarsha_926 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I know nothing about him but 10 goals in 11 Europa league games gets me excited Me too but then 0 goals in 18 Serie A games kind of evens it out. My excitement has subsided! He only started 4 games the rest he came off the bench so no surprised he did not score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart-L7 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hope this ain't digging too much into any other funds we have. Looking forward to tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 We really do not need strengthening up front. Even a loan deal for a AM would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Update: A few Lazio fans believe it is indeed a permanent deal as the article states, not a loan (as tweeted by the reporter who wrote the article.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Don't see how much difference he is too Helenius, not overwhelmed with this, not having a moan but still waiting for the game changer and not squad filler player!

midian Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Probably Pete Colley on the wind up but just put on twitter Seen at Bodymoor Heath....followed by a picture of Kojak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think its a buy not loan .. I saw a lazio arabian fan who said its about 6.5m euro .. Well I think its less .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Permanent deal and I'd be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaguy Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Is he any better than Bowery? Don't think Lambert rates Bowery if this transfer is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Kozak Gabby Beast Wiemann Delph Westwood Could be great for breaking down teams at home with the Gabby,Andy and Beasteke all switching positions. Can switch to a 4-4-2 easily and play two big guys up top. Gotta trust Lambert on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 The manager has a good hit ratio of spotting players so far. So in that respect I'm always excited, even when logic dictates we don't really need another striker of this kind, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on tomorrow Completely different players. About as similar as Benteke and Helenius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdomlahor Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) People hoping he doesn't sign despite never seeing him play is very irritating. When he gets regular starts, he's scored for Lazio. Got a hat-trick against Stuttgart last season to send them through. What happens when Benteke gets injured and we don't have a target man? Helenius isn't one, and Gabby and Andi certainly aren't. Edited September 1, 2013 by adz.villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hmm never heard of the player (quelle surprise), but I cannot really see why we would need a big, tall striker when we have Benteke and Helenius. At all... If a player is really good then of course there is always room for him, but according to his stats he has never been a goalscorer in his career thus far. 24 years old as well... Seems strange (and bullshit!) Even looks like Helenius too, ehm, a Czech version that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Quality signing if so, follow Serie A and he is the real deal, despite what his scoring record says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
