I think Llajic is a quality player, but with Grealish and Gil already on the books shouldn't a priority be a proven goal scorer instead of another creative midfielder? Ayew looks like he has about as many goals in him as Gabby does. Kozak had a good preseason but looks like he's on his way out and Rudy doesn't exactly look prolific. I'm really wondering where goals will come from.

I'm assuming with Kozak going out another forward will be coming in as well as the lad from Roma

SP, I agree we need a goal scorer for sure, but to have such strong opinions on Ayew and Gestede this early into their Villa careers is a bit premature mate, no offence meant.
Give the blokes time to adjust, Gestede needs quality balls into the box on a regular basis from both sides, that does not happen as often as it should just yet.
And Ayew looks a bit lost at the moment because we are not creating through midfield, most of this I feel is because Gabby does not have the slightest idea when to move, where to move, and has no technical ability at all, therefore our midfield are stuffed not knowing when to play through balls.
How often do we see balls played on the ground through the gaps, hardly ever, Gil and Grealish can do this and I think we will see a different Ayew when this happens
Confidence will come when Gabby is dropped, you can`t win games week in week out with 10 men, he now offers nothing as far as I am concerned, if he continues to be selected I see no point in signing the players we have signed, times up Gabby mate.

Villadave - I wasn't meaning to be harsh on them (realize may be it sounded that way). I suppose a better context is, neither of them have a history of scoring a lot. Gestede get 20 in the championship last season, but that is one season, and at a lower level and Ayew has never really been prolific. I guess ultimately, I'm not convinced as of yet, and we don't want to find ourselves in the same position as last season, going into January having scored a whopping 11 goals.

I agree with every word of this Villadave

I understand SP, it`s hard to put what we mean into words at times and we all get misunderstood from time to time.
Thanks Mendax, I think we are all really p----d of with Gabby to be honest, he is shot mate.
