Guest VaVaVoom Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Expect him to get at least 10 goals in all comps next season. He'll be important for the European ties. At times he looks like he can offer something like. Good hold up play, good skill and can finish. I'd definitely keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Between him and Shola, if one had to start it would be Best every time, but if there was 20-30 minutes to go in a game and you needed a goal or someone to help see the game out I'd pick Shola.

Ronaldo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Between him and Shola, if one had to start it would be Best every time, but if there was 20-30 minutes to go in a game and you needed a goal or someone to help see the game out I'd pick Shola. Can't disagree too much with that. To be honest I wouldn't be against Best starting against Chelsea/City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 In our current squad he has to be the third choice striker if we are not counting Benny as a striker that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaun Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How much would his valuation be I wonder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Will be a good signing for Villa. Holds the ball up well and has good feet. Has a great attitude & seems a top lad. If he leaves I thank him for helping us stay up last season, and wish him all the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I actually thought he was going to stay, even though he's been injured for half the season, just because he'd make a decent rotation striker especially in the Europa/cup matches. Which begs the question, are we bringing in a new striker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WashyGeordie Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How much would his valuation be I wonder? I'd take what we paid for him (£2mil?), and if we got abit more, even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Best leaves we will have to, but quite frankly i expect us to replace him with someone young from the championship rather than an unknown cheap European forward.

Aye i hope we atleast look at Jordon Rhodes. 71 goals in 122 games for Huddersfield and still only 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The problem for him is if we sign a new striker he might end up as low as 4th/5th choice. I like Best though and would love him to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Best reminds me of the job Paul Kitson did when we sold Cole in 1995. Came in to replace Carroll, did a decent/good job then got replaced by (hopefully) better strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Guthrie would be a good signing for Villa, but unless they are expecting to lose players I cannot really see how his situation would be any diferent than it is here? They have Ireland and Bannan (if he's not on the wing), aswell as Gardner who has looked promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Would like Best to stay, think he is a decent player BUT I can understand if he wants first team football elsewhere Think he would do well in a mid-table Premiership side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think we need another striker even if Best stays. Ignoring ranger, who's next after the 4 current first team ones? Assuming Xisco ain't coming back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Nowt against Guthrie and Best, but it's pretty amusing that 3 years after sending us down, Villa are linked with our 3rd or even 4th choice players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Would actually like Best to stay. He is decent backup imo and he is really likeable so I would be a bit disappointed if he does go. Having said that, I guess we could easily find a replacement for him (maybe a couple of up and coming players from the Championship?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
