toon25 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The fact that Gestede & Hernandez have scored that many in the league tells you everything you need to know. Desperately average strikers. Would like to see is bring another in but Mitrovic/Gayle/Perez/Ritchie should have more than enough. I'd like to think so, but I don't think there's enough goals there at all. Perez isn't prolific, and Mitrovic is more battering ram than finisher. Gayle and Ritchie have experience in the league, granted. Moreover, how often will we see these guys all on the pitch at the same time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It's the unpredictability that's worrying. Perez Mitro and Gayle should be capable of scoring a very decent amount, but we can't look back at previous stats like Villa's strikers for reassurance. I'm still very confident we'll go back up, just might be a bumpy first month or so. I have faith that we'll respend in January if we are say 3rd/4th too.

Guest Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Perez and Mitrovic scored just under 40 between them last time they played at an equivalent level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah they should be fine, but different leagues don't always quite translate perfectly. Perez needs to sort himself out like, really hoping he has a stormer at the weekend because he's not looked himself for a while now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't really want Villa signing another Championship proven striker, but it's fairly humorous to watch Hull's commitment to Premier League football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Shouldn't Villa be focusing on their midfield? Looks terrible. Unless they're thinking of a 4-2-4 with Hernandez, McCormack, Gestede and Ayew up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Who are you going to replace Williams with? Surely you can't rely on van der Hoorn, Amat and Fernandez as your CBs this season My guess Amat, he is a good defender and we're lucky he's still here with Williams and Fernandez keeping him out, his chance to shine. VdH has looked decent as competition and we have a highly rated younster Joe Rodon coming through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Fair enough, every time I've seen Fernandez play I always thought he could be quite shaky but Williams helped him to be less shaky. And that van der Hoorn barely played for Ajax. Don't know much about Amat. You'll have seen them more than me though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Mitrovic is better than Gestede like. If he can get twenty no reason Mitro can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they're thinking of a 4-2-4 with Hernandez, McCormack, Gestede and Ayew up front It really didn't work playing Gestede, Ayew and McCormack against Wednesday. It left a shaky Cissoko exposed I hope this Hernandez deal doesn't happen though, as against the smaller teams in the league, they will smash them too many goals in the team not too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately average strikers. Would like to see is bring another in but Mitrovic/Gayle/Perez/Ritchie should have more than enough. Aye, completely agree. All you need to do is look at who has been top scorer in this league for the past 10 years to realise the quality is actually quite naff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
