He's proved to be a good Championship player :ayatollah:

I'm not sure if he is Premiership quality?

I agree. Not sure if Villa would have even considered him if they weren't so desperate to replace Benteke. A likeable guy who tries hard, very good with his head and surprisingly nimble on his feet. Lower half Premier League/top half championship sums up his ability.

Agreed. Always like him at the city as he was a 100%er. Let's hope he is a success at villa and scores a hatrrick at the Liberty and gives a cheeky :ayatollah: to the jbs.

Not surprised he has got a move to the Premier League.

Had the pleasure of meeting Gestede after a game and he was very appreciative of the supporters and the club as a whole for the support they gave him when he joined, spoke for a good 10-20 minutes after a game think it was a Sunday fixture and he was happy to stay and talk.

From a 1 week trial and scoring v Charlton in Pre Season to this, great story for him.

He done brilliant for a target man for us and Blackburn.

Sadly supporters didn't give him enough support, a minority like myself backed him and I remember Chuckles saying on here to me or in general he wouldn't get 10 goals. :oops: Just like Kenwyne again I backed him because some of our supporters are not really open minded enough to understand what a target man is and what they do, our supporters always expect pace, chasing down 24/7 from target men thinking their some Campbell type striker.. complete difference in what your dealing with in terms of types of striker.

Best of luck to him. :notworthy:

Well said I knew there was something about Gestede and not surprised he has thrived and yes he is a great humble guy. :thumbright: :ayatollah: :sladein:

Did we install a sell on clause when we sold him to Blackburn?

Not quite right
I supported him on here from day one
Get someone on here who knows how to find old threads
I took so much stick over my support for him
And said many times he would become a premier league player
I spoke with him loads of time and he would shake my hand and say thank you to me for chatting with him
Good luck rudy you proved loads wrong on here and not only are you a premier league player you are a true gentleman :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:
